Hey Gene -
RH 9 is significantly different from FC3 - the C libraries, the kernel and
pretty much every major application have undergone version upgrades. If you
are insistent upon doing this as an in-place upgrade I strongly reccomend
that you set up a test machine and do it there first. Insatll RH9 and
configure it exactly like your production server, then upgrade to FC3.
I really think you'd be better served by backing up your data, doing a clean
install, then restoring your data.
Thomas
