I would advise using the installer to upgrade do to udev changes etc.
Mr. Jakma will have the details I think.

You can start the installer using a USB or PXE image from here:
ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/os/images/

Then when that starts you can point it at the ISOs
on the network. I've done this for NFS at least
where the installer automatically mounts them.
