[Yum] going from fc2-->fc3

hi....

i tried to update a RH8 --> fc2 and it appears to work..

in trying to go from fc2 --> fc3 i'm having issues when i try to upgrade
yum.

although, to be honest, i'm not entirely convinced that the upgrade to fc2
was completely successful. i noticed that the version of python on the
system is not what i see in the fedora/download dir for fc2.

when i load/install yum for fc3 and try to do a command line 'yum' it dies,
so it appears that i need some additional components in order to run yum for
fc3.

i tried to do a 'yum upgrade yum pyhton rpm...' but i don't see a difference
in the version of yum when i do an 'rpm -q yum'...

any ideas as to what i'm doing wrong...

i've tried to upgrade python by itself with no luck.. which is one of the
reasons i need yum!!!

pointers/thoughts/etc... would be appreciated...

i've tried to follow some of the suggestions that i've seen from google..
but so far.. this is still an issue...

thanks

bruce
