[luau] Trying to upgrade from RedHat8 to Fedora

[Eric Hattemer]

I haven't taken a look at the actual installer for fedora, but see if 
there is info in the (ctrl)-alt-F1, F2, F3, F4 terminals.  You may be 
surposed if its something like "downloading fedora, FTP: too many users 
or your class" or something like that.  It may also tell you where its 
trying to save the data.  Do you have a complex mount point/partition 
system, or just a /boot and a /?  Although some would recommend against 
it, you can probably update the whole system using apt-get/yum.  It 
works for 9.x for me without any real concerns.
