I ended up trying this.  I installed fedoral-release 2 and started to 
update with yum, but I ran into problems pretty fast with dependencies.  
Luckily I was able to use apt and synaptic for miracles--they rolled 
back a few of the versions for me, so I'm back to square one.  I looked 
into a few other things such as freshrpms.net development source in apt, 
but it produced some results that were scary as well.  Is there a way to 
upgrade using anaconda over the net?
