There is a guide that does not come woth it. It lays out each step,
although VERY briefly, but I found it necessary to have and I've done
hundreds of RedHat installs and a few SuSE PPC ones. 

It is not on the CDs :-(

IMHO the best way to upgrade is to use yum. If you have a decent network
connection or can copy the first 3 cd's to a local server, you can
update the release with yum.

Exactly which machine are you doing this on? It only boots "new world"
MACs from the CD.

Geoff.

HINT: If you have an old world power mac and want to have sound, you
have to recompile the kernel and alsa. What fun.
