If you have RH 9 already in an up2date system, I don't understand why you
would want to do re-install of the same RH version. You mentioned about
getting rid of accumulated junk. I'd think it's easier to clean it up than
doing re-install.
AFA I can think of, no, there should not be a major problem. But I've never
done a re-install or upgrade for that matter. I always do fresh clean
install. You probably need to run up2date after reinstall though and updating
your system again, since I'd think the install will put your system as in the
distro CD (with the outdated RPMs).
