It has been an interesting 24 hours. Managed to get what appears to be
a RH8 apt-get dist-upgrade to take. Now, also have a yum version for
rh8 installed, and a /etc/yum.conf file to look at. I want to use yum
to move rh8 up to rh9. Can you point me to the documentation to set yum
up to do that? Any pointers appreciated. My goal is to keep upgrading
until I get to FC4. Is this doable, without the ability to burn CDs?

I'll bet it has. You have certainly set yourself a challenging goal.
Perhaps I shouldn't use the word "goal". Umm, project.
(I hear that the word "goal" implies that one has a plan to achieve
one's desire, which has a reasonable chance of success.)
Why do you need to do that without the ability to burn CDs? IIRC, the
last time I bought a CD burner, it was about $40 USD. Even if you pay
yourself only $5 USD per hour, you'll burn that in one day.
Of course, download time is pretty gruesome. I got those 4 ISOs using
ADSL, and it took me two full 24 hour days to get all of them.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
