I did this for FC5, and I'm doing it on another machine for F9.  When F9 
becomes officially released, all you need to do is install the F9 
fedora-release RPM from the F9 release.  You can even (upgrade) install 
it via a URL using rpm.  That will fix your Fedora yum repositories for 
you.  Then you will no longer be on rawhide.
