Hello,

I'm running Fedora Core 6 on my main computer, and I would like to upgrade to F9.
I've just burned the appropriate DVD.
Do you think it's secure to upgrade from FC6 to F9, or do I have to format everything, and install F9 from scratch ?

It is possible to do as an upgrade, but inadvisable. See the thread, but consider backing up your home and whatever and then doing a clean install. The upgrade path seems to leave lots of old stuff you don't want or need, etc, directory sizes tend to change which might suggest repartitioning, and similar issues.

You can do it, but it may be more work and less satisfactory than starting clean.
