Fred,

* afaik it is called a migration, this is a bit different from a tl upgrade, you don't need to do a fresh install, Your setting are kept.
* Oracle 9 will run (maybe relinking is needed, maybe some issues), other applications will depend, you will need to check them.
* cdr might not be big enough, DVD might be. You can create a bootable image on disk and copy it to a system that has a DVD-writer (I never tried this). A bootable backup is always a good idea to have!
* upgrade (migrate) is very simple (if everything goes like it should), I suggest you to have a look at alternate disk migration, this gives you a fallback scenario in case youre install fails (and you don't have a bootable backup).
* In theory you're downtime is limited to the time it takes to reboot the system (plus application modification..)

I really advise you to make sure you have a sound sollution for the bootable backups, it will save you a lot of headaches when the sh*t hits the ...
