Always make a good, reliable backup in case you do want to revert back to the old version. There is no other reliable way to downgrade any OS I've worked with (OS X is the closest, but RH is definitely out).

The best way I've known to do this is image to another volume with 'dd' if you have the space on a separate volume, or adding in netcat if not. To save space you can fill your drive out with zeros before hand so it will compress easily The Digital Voice: DD over Netcat for a Cheap Ghost Alternative has a good discussion on this. To zero out the drive before hand, boot off a live CD of some kind, mount the filesystems on the drive you're imaging and run something similar to
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mountpoint/fill && rm /mnt/mountpoint/fill
