Due to the number of issues I have seen with people upgrading to Fedora 18 using FedUp, I am recommending that everyone do a yum distro-sync after they upgrade.
Code:
su -
(root password)
yum --releasever=18 --disableplugin=presto distro-sync
There are issues of packages not getting updated, and this is causing numerous different problems to occur.
I have executed DBelton's advice: yum --releasever=18 --disableplugin=presto distro-sync
After upgrading from Fedora 17 to 18 using FedUp, I'm having USB problems:
My USB keyboard and mouse work, but only if I use the hardware in place at the time of upgrading. My wife want's her keyboard back.
My machine cannot see either my external hard drive or my thumb drive.
I follow this https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum#Fedora_17_-.3E... guide to upgrade my Fedora 17 to 18.
All fine until I issue su -c 'yum --releasever=18 --disableplugin=presto distro-sync -y' my Putty disconnected.
Now that Fedora 18, aka Spherical Cow, has been released, users of Fedora 17 will likely be gearing up to upgrade. Before this latest release, upgrading an installation of Fedora requires a procedure that’s not very elegant.
With Fedora 18, the recommended upgrade tool is called FedUp (FEDora UPgrade).
I have rpm upgrade an when I:

I have on machine currently running Fedora 17. When I tried to use pre-upgrade to upgrade to Fedora 17 from Fedora 15 it failed because of space problems. So I installed Fedora 17 from a DVD as a fresh install.
In its current configuration, it has 43 GB available in /, 352 MB in /boot and 141 GB in /home.
Using these instructions we are carrying out a yum upgrade on a Rackspace Cloud Instance from Fedora 15 to 16, this follows an apparently successful yum upgrade from 14 to 15.
The setup is standard apart from a binary install of MySQL 5.6 and we are using the command:
yum -y --releasever=16 --disableplugin=presto distro-sync --exclude=mysql-libs --exclude=perl-DBD-MySQL --skip-broken

Dear Friends,
As I write this, I am in the process of upgrading my Fedora 17 LXDE 32+ bit version to the latest Fedora 18 LXDE 32+ bit version. The upgrading is going on in a terminal this very minute. I used the following command as mentioned by a member of this very forum to upgrade using a slow internet connection.
In redhat-based distros, the yum tool has a distro-sync command which will synchronize packages to the current repositories. This command is useful for returning to a base state if base packages have been modified from an outside source.
