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.
