At the monthly LUG hackfest I was talking to a couple people about upgrading redhat 8 --> rh9
and it was mentioned to boot the rh8 system with the redhat 9 install cd #1 and select upgrade anybody see any pitfalls in this method versus apt-get or yum. I do have physical access to the redhat 8 server.
