I broke my system upgrading to RH9, and spent a week fixing it.  I
finally gave up, did a clean re-install, added back the enhancements I
wanted, and only lost a day or so.

I am currently using FC1 and am downloading the ISOs for FC2 as I type! Every time I have upgraded my OS (RH7.3 > RH8.0 > RH9 > FC1) I have performed a clean install, but this time I cannot risk losing all my settings etc. So my question is, if I perform an upgrade rather than a clean install will I lose all the settings and things I have spent so long making?

In particular will my XF86Config file be overwritten and will any programs I have installed that are not part of FC be lost during the process?

I have done the upgrades for Test 3 and the final version and haven't had any problems with customized stuff.
