It's most certainly possible when you need to keep a box sane, although I'd do a reinstall by choice. Also remember modern desktops need a lot more RAM than RH8 so if the box has 64-128MB of RAM it may not be up to current FC/Gnome and updating. 128MB should be fine with older desktops or lighter ones like Xfce
