Can some one provide instructions to upgrade fedora 6 to fedora 9. What
are the precautions that needs to be taken so as to not break the system

I recently did this (just to see if it /could/ be done. The best way to
do this /without/ do a reinstall, is to upgrade in series. FC6 to FC7
to F8 to F9.
No, it's not pretty. No, it's probably /not/ recommended. But it works.
A couple of caveats though. Any 3rd party repos you use, you might want
to get rid of the installed packages at some point in the process. I
only enable those repos (like livna) only when I need to install
something not included in the default repos. Then I disable it. That
way there are no 3rd party updates included when I yum update each day.
HTH.
