moving fedora core2 system to RH enterprise3 build4


Hi Everyone

I have a RH FC2 system that I would like changed (not really an upgrade) to RH Enterprise3 Build4. Of course I would like to preserve my existing user, application and o/s filesystems (I have hundreds of accounts on the server) .
Can this be accomplished by doing the following :

1 - shutting down the fc2 server
2 - booting the Build4 CD on the fc2 server
3 - choosing the graphical upgrade option
4 - choosing not to format existing filesystems and proceeding with the install.

I realize this is actually a "downgrade" , however we have compatability issues with fc2 and I really do not want to perform a complete o/s install.
If anyone has "moved" a fedora system to enterprise 3 or has any ideas please help !

tia

Should work as expected, while not having done this from an FC to an ES type deal, I have done multiple FCs with no problem.
