I have upgraded my Fedora to 16 from 15 directly, due to an old mainboard-intergrated graphic card I used, the GNOME Shell is not good experience for me.
There is a simple official guide for upgrading system to Fedora 16 in the Fedora community wiki page.
1. Import the new gpg key for Fedora 16.
rpm --import
2. upgrade progress is very simple. These will maybe take several hours, it depends on the packages you have installed, and the internet download rate there.
yum update yum
yum clean all
yum --releasever=16 --disableplugin=presto distro-sync
3. Install NVidia driver.
The rpmfusion provids rpm pakckage for the official NVidia driver, it is none opensource software, so it is not included in the Feodra official yum repository.
Follow this guide to install nvidia driver.
If you have not use rpmfusion, install the following two packages:
rpm -Uvh
rpm -Uvh
This will install RPMFussion Repository configuration and import the related gpg into your system for you directly.
Install nvidia driver via yum install command.
yum install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs
By default the nouveau driver should be installed, you can remove it.
yum remove xorg-x11-drv-nouveau
Rebuild new initramfs image file
## Backup old initramfs nouveau image ##
mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
## Create new initramfs image ##
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r>).img $(uname -r)
Check your grub configuration. add
rdblacklist=nouveau nouveau.modeset=0
to the kernel line in the kernal you are using.
That is all, reboot the system.
