Congratulations!  You've upgraded from a release that Red Hat stopped 
supporting December '03 to a release that Red Hat stopped supporting 
April '04.  It's clear from your actions that you've done very little 
research into which upgrade paths Red Hat actually supports.
	I suggest that you visit http://fedoralegacy.org/ for security and bug 
fixes to RH9 *or* install a distro that is still supported by Red Hat 
like the latest Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
