I highly recommend against just dumping in the old etc folder..  you
*will* break something...

You should be safe keeping all of your data partitions, but I would
recommend letting at least / /usr /etc format and reinstall.

Upgrading also means you'll need to re-install any apps you installed
before..  esp tarball apps..  some rh9 rpm's may work, but there's no
guarantee... best to rebuild them from the rpm source..
