Firewall Linux Upgrade---URGENT

Post by Ryan_Cooper »

I really need help with this One

We have a old firewall using IPTables running on Red Hat Linux 9(which is pretty old). our firewall also acts as a proxy which also authenticates with our windows DC for internet access and so forth.

would it be possible for me to upgrade the linux version without losing any of the current firewall and proxy settings and how would i go about doing this?

I think it's possible to insert the Fedora disk and click upgrade
