</div>If that's your only motivation have you considered compiling firefox<br>
from source? It might involve installing alot of the dependencies from<br>
source too since I would imagine current fc6 rpms are scarce.</blockquote><div><br>No that is not my only motivation. There are more: I would like to make DVDs from DVB recordings with subtitles, I like the fullscreen mode of Firefox 3, I would like to get in sync with the repositories again in order to install a SVN server... So it is not just a matter of Firefox.<br>

</div>Two choices for #2 - upgrade or new install, though I'll bet no one<br>
tested upgrading from fc6 to fc10. Might be safer (and more tedious) to<br>
do the upgrade sequentially (7,8,9,10). Once doing a fedora upgrade it<br>
didn't work for me and I had to do a fresh install - I don't recall the<br>
version numbers.</blockquote><div><br>Yes I have in the past upgraded from FC1->FC3->FC4->F6 and when upgrading to FC4 it all got messed up, so that I had to reinstall. That experience is probably the main cause why I have not upgraded since F6.<br>

</div>Smaller version jumps have always worked fine for me. A db backup makes<br>
it a safe experiment for you. Worst case you'd have to install<br>
intermediate versions but I'd bet it works in one jump. Just my guess,<br>
others will know for sure.</blockquote><div><br>Installing intermediate versions would be quite a problem for me as atrpms for F7 and F8 do no longer exist.<br></div></div><br>I guess I will give the F10 DVD a try. If it can not upgrade my installation, I will do a clean install of F10, copy my mythconverg database into the system and install MythTV and see if it can upgrade my database.<br>
