Not necessarily.
You would be safer to boot rescue from an installer DVD, then choose to 
mount the filesystems for your compromised F9.  Shutdown each system, 
move it to a trusted network, or off-net and attach an external disk to 
save files onto, put in the F9 DVD, then boot that DVD, not the 
compromised system's disk.

If you choose to start the network during rescue startup dialogs then 
you could save off files from the filesystems to elsewhere on the 
network, and could reasonably expect that there is no malicious software 
watching you do so since you booted the DVD not the compromised system.
