Am do,

The above link is a means of using yum to perform a  "live upgrade" 
which not really a supported method of upgrading from Red Hat Linux 9. I 
would suggest doing a backup of your data, Install Fedora Core 3 and 
restore it again. If not, do a backup and try upgrading it through the 
CD/DVD upgrade method.  The following documentation on Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux 4 more or less applies to Fedora Core 3 too

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/x8664-multi-install-guide/

On the other hand, Fedora Core 4 is being scheduled for release on June 
6th. You might want to wait a bit and upgrade to that instead. Fedora 
has a relatively short release cycle. You might extend it using Fedora 
Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org)  upto a period of 1.5 years or 
so but still something worth considering
