Fedora 8 upgrade through yum

Well it is time for me to bite the bullet and upgrade to Fedora 8. I have been using Fedora 7 since it's release and while pleased with it, I'm ready for the next iteration of Fedora. After reading quite a few forums and articles on Fedora 8, I decided to go with upgrade through yum. Two excellent resources for Fedora 8 through yum are : http://www.ioncannon.net/system-administration/133/upgrading-from-fedora-7-to-fedora-8-with-yum/ and http://www.leenukes.co.uk/?p=39.  Anyway first thing I did was make sure to have all updates taken care off. 
1.  yum update -y.
2. yum clean all.
I read from several other websites that people are having some dependency issues due to Beryl and related. I took care of that in step 3. 
3. yum -y remove beryl-plugins heliodor bdock.    
4.
