[olug] Clean Upgrade using RPMS?

[CM Miller]

I find myself beating my head against the wall here. 

Upgraded a RH 8 box to RH 9 and wanted to use apt-get
dist upgrade to do so, because I customized so much
stuff on there and in the interest of time. 

Well, it didn't work.  Luckly I backed up all of my
data and did a clean install.  Now going thru the
process of setting everything back up to where I had
it, which is taking time. 

Who has been sucessful in an rpm based upgraded using
rpm or whatever rpm application, and would like to
share with the group? 

Just as a side note, I run Knoppix on my laptop and
apt-get runs well on there, but having a few problems
on some packages, and wondering if apt-get dist
upgrade would have problems on there as well?

thanks

-Chris
