Are you trolling? RH8 uses 2.4 kernel. FC uses 2.6. Libraries, compiliers and most everything that else have changed. Do not upgrade! Do a backup. Do new install.
One of my desktops is RH8 -> RH9 -> FC2 -> FC5. Some things are broken and it is not really as stable as I would like (part of the desktop is gone, SMP does not work anymore). In a few weeks it will be wiped and upgraded to FC6.... I also had issues with upgrading from FC4->6 and FC5->6 on multiple machines. My main x86_64 laptop (FC5->6) took a very long time (20+hours).
The bottom line, I would recommend a full install if you can (backup your data and /home, the reinstall).
Good luck, -- Wade Hampton

It is a nightmare at times to upgrade at all, so many of us advise a fresh install from one FC version to the next. "Upgrading" from RH to FC is asking for a very interesting experience. I sure wouldn't do it, but YMMV. Ric
