I finally got the upgrade FC1->FC2 to work, and was moving onto FC2->FC3 and ran into this problem:
[root@localhost root]# yum list updates
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 6, in ?
import yummain
File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 23, in ?
import yum
ImportError: No module named yum
[root@localhost root]#
I'm following the instructions at
http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/Upg..._with_yum.html
[root@localhost root]# rpm -Uvh fedora-release-3-8.i386.rpm yum-2.1.11-3.noarch.rpm

Anyway, I installed the new RPMs of fedora-release-3-8.i386.rpm and yum-2.1.11-3.noarch.rpm, and as that site says may happen, I had to force the install due to an up2date conflict. Any ideas?
