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.
Blair.
