You need to install preupgrade.noarch.rpm. Try the manual route : yum install preupgrade<br><br>You are getting the notices on an F13 box since F15 is nearing beta. <br><br>Note: I did an upgrade run from F13 -> F14 on several machines with no troubles at all. But I only upgraded AFTER the next version had been out for a few weeks and rpmfusion had caught up with several of my requirements as well (nvidia, wireless nic, audacity-freeworld, etc).<br>
