Hi, In my experience, redhat upgrades rarely work especially when you skip versions: in fact we could not even do an install of rh 9 on an older pentium II (400 MHz). After much research, we were able to put on the minimal configuration, and then upgrade manually with rpm -Uvh --nodeps /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/* and inserting each cd separately: nasty stuff, and never a good thing on a server. The fresh install is probably your best bet. P.S. We recommend an updated 7.3 over rh9 for a server as you cannot change information using a text tool very well on rh9. All those redhat-config-xxx tools do not work in text mode very well. Kickstart on rh9 is also a bit of a conundrum: way too complex vs. the simple text file of rh7.3 . rh 9 blows away the 7.3 desktop, though.
