Hi and welcome to the Fedora list. I upgraded my RH 9 machine to FC1 by
simply inserting the first FC1 cd, and powering up the machine. The
installer asked me if I wanted to upgrade the existing installation or
install a new installation. I chose the upgrade, and it went smoothly. I
would highly recommend backing up all important data first.
However, when I moved to FC2, I backed up all of my data and did a fresh
installation because there are many big differences between FC1 and FC2.
Hope this helps,
Clint
