You are welcome. Whats with "da" at the end of my name ? What do you mean by useless ? What did you try and what was the result or error you got ? >From my knowledge and prior experience which is admittedly limited the popping in the cd and pressing enter will work for upgrade also. 1. Pop in the cd. 2. Make cd first boot device in bios. 3. Skip or do the media check up to you. 4. Approximately after 5 clicks in GUI on the "Next" button (After Monitor selection) the cd performs the "Searching for Fedora Core installation". 4. It should and at least in my case *does* come up with "Red Hat Linux 8" as a listed option with the root partition it is installed on. It then asks you whether you want to upgrade *_OR_* do a fresh install over this. (If you would like a screenshot of this can be done :-) 5. This will not come up if for some reason you have a corrupted partition or you have messed around with your RH 8 installed system. But it *will* come up if you have a reasonably working RH 8 system IMHO. Did you try till this step? I do not think so. Anyways when you are going to do a fresh install it is also going you to bring you to this point so... Regards, -- Arindam Dey The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.
