 From comments around work here, I would not recommend an upgrade to 
FC2 but a clean install.  Some people are still trying to sort out 
problems related to the upgrade.  I still have many broken links on my 
system from an upgrade that I keep finding.  Some have had to resort 
to a clean install after tryint to get their older install to work.

There are so many changes between FC1 and FC2 let alone RH9 to FC2 
that alot of time could be saved by doing a clean install and 
re-configuring.

Make backups and work from those.
