I don't think you're necessarily doing anything wrong. You seemingly made the best decision based on the information you had.
I myself have always doen fresh install because it is simpler and supposdely the best method. However, there are update paths. Instead of giving you wrong information, I'll suggest to you how to get the right information.
Got to #fedora on freenode's irc servers. And clear state what you want to do.
Got to the general user mailing list and state what you would like to do clearly.
Post your question(s) at fedoraforum.org and/or linuxquestions.org (they have a fedora board)
Of the top of my head I know for a fact that if you beging a Fedora install on amachine that already has Fedora, it will recognize the installtion (unlessed it is badly hosed) and offer you the option to upgrade.
It is also suppose to be possible to use yum with approporate conf files to upgrade to the lastest version of Fedora.
If you would like to upgrade to RH Ent. that implies that you have paid a liscence for support, I can't imagine the tech support being unwilling to guide you through an upgrade to RH Ent. unless you have some special circumstances which could make it more problamatic than it is.
You should come to Dominica, in the Caribbean. We get full hurincaes here, but lightning never touches down, so it's quite normal for people to be out in such weather.
As a relatively new user to Linux, I downloaded and installed several major apps. Not one created an icon or executable in my 'start menu', nor correctly placed themselves in my bin (not that I would know what to type anyways).
I am sorry to hear that. I use Fedora Core 3, soon to upgrade to Fedora Core 4. I 'yum install' or 'rpm -ivh', or if I am in the mood I YumGUI, I can't remember having to manually setup a shortcut in the main menu. I use KDE, but I doubt that this is different with Gnome.
"Gangsters are starting to roam the streets, killing people at a rate of 8-9 people a day. Do you then propose "normal" citizens should get a gun and shoot them motherfsckers down?"
Yes. Basically.
I'm curious as to what is to stop an individual, after receiving a letter from the *AA, from buying a new HDD, installing Windows 2k, leaving it unpatched, then claim that your computer has been acting slow, and your DSL has been acting slow, and you were always wondering why, and so it must be a 'virus' using your computer to download files.
I started with Linux after highschool. I've never had any linux classes. I've disliked Windows since before I knew there were alternatives.
Thank you Fedora !!!

Sad. I remember when people just used to post useful code. No worries about NDA, IPO, or what not. ANd I'm just 20.
FACT: my 900 MHz phone goes further (through brick) than my 1.2 GHz phone.
Yes.
That's nice

Good luck.

There's a refund button in PayPal I think.
Gentoo or not, you should be embarrased to not know this.
Yes. Basically.
No, you're not alone.
You do realise this isn't some Windows feature, and that anyone can write an installer for any OS, right?
You don't really have a choice now do you.
Contact me an I'll be more than happy to guide you on the switch.

In future, when using Fedora, check http://fedoraforum.org/
How is Fedora, in this case, so much harder to install than Windows ? It's fair to say that they can just keep clickign 'Yes' and all will be ok.
It doesn't force you to reboot now does it.
No you're sure not. I learned in the Turbo Pascal 7.0 IDE myself, adn then later moved on to Borland DElphi.
