I followed the installation on amahi.org with only one change. I put /var/hda/files/ partition on a different hard drive than the OS.
the installation got to "packages completed: 64 of 1262
Installing glibc-common-2.12.90-17.i686 (107 MB)
Common binaries and locale data for glibc
Computer totally locked up... ideas?

Can you describe your hardware? This is typical behavior of incompatible hardware with Fedora. Not saying that is the issue, but could be.

That could be part of the issue. I have noticed that Fedora is pretty good about supporting new technology, but often leaves the old behind.
My only recommendation would be that you try the unsupported USB install of Fedora 14. I have done it a few times with success. Check out the wiki page here
http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Fedora_14_usb_install.
Hope it works out.

I had a similar situation with glibc. I used "yum -y update --skip-broken" and "yum distro-sync --skip broken" and then ran "hda-update-amahi5-to-amahi6" and everything worked.
It may work for you also. I dont see how it could make things worse since it is updating your install yo current packages.
