[Xastir] Somewhat OT: Updating Linux

[Brian Heaton]

Rich,

	During the RH9 install make sure you choose "Install" instead of
"Upgrade".  Once you get to the disk partitioning step use Disk Druid
and select to format each linux/swap partition and tell the system where
to mount them. You'll then completely whack RH8. 

	I wouldn't be concerned about wiping out GRUB. If you still want to use
the same GRUB setup with RH9 it will install right over the top of the
current one with no problems.
