	Stephen,
	
	Could you clarify your last paragraph. Does this mean 
	that you successfully upgraded Red Hat 9 to Fedora using yum?

	Janina,
	
	As a suggestion, you may want to add a section on yum 
	into your how-to. 
	
	If you don't know yum, it is an easy-to-use 
	command-line-based application that does an excellent 
	job of managing your rpms. Yum is also very useful for 
	doing such system activities as: 
	Installing applications.
	Removing applications.
	Keeping your system up-to-date.
	Doing system upgrades.
	The overall advantage to yum is that it takes away all 
	the guess work when it comes to dependencies.
	
	I have found a partial yum how-to at: 
	http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/General/yum_HOWTO/yum_HOWTO
/yum_HOWTO.html 
that you maybe able to use / modify for the speakup community.

The yum info page can be found at:
https://lists.linux.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum

Otherwise, the How-to that I read on RH9 was easy to follow.

Just my thoughts for the future.

OH YEAH! I did an "yum upgrade" to fedora to see if it can be done, and
it worked like a charm. Once all was done, I re-started my computer and
was running fedora. Ain't life good!
