[Novalug] Fedora 13 update

[James Ewing Cottrell 3rd]

Plus, you can always move the existing system out of the way during 
reinstall. During the reinstall, hit ALT-F2 to get to the shell window. 
Assuming your system is on sda1, do something like this:

mkdir /a; mount /dev/sda1 /a; cd /a; mkdir .0; mv * .0; mv.0/*+* .; cd 
/; umount /a

Before you go into the Disk Selection mode. Choose "Custom Layout", and 
reinstall the new system into sda1, but DO NOT FORMAT the partition.
