Not necessarily. You would be safer to boot rescue from an installer
DVD, then choose to mount the filesystems for your compromised F9.
Shutdown each system, move it to a trusted network, or off-net and
attach an external disk to save files onto, put in the F9 DVD, then
boot that DVD, not the compromised system's disk.
at some point, you have to stop asking for advice on a mailing list
and, if those machines are important to you, you need to call in
professional help. you may not want to pay the $$$, but there's a
reason good consultants cost that much -- they're good.
