Just working out the kinks in a RHL8.0->Fedora Core 1 upgrade. Went fairly smoothly. I uninstalled a bunch of homemade RPMs first and had some minor issues with remnants of KDE3.1.4 from the kde-redhat install. Mostly a good experience though. Had a minor problem upgrading OOo under my user (the three other users were fine) and had to rm -rf ~/.openoffice to get it to work. (found that out with a quick chat on #fedora). Lost my printer driver on the upgrade of cups and had to re-install that today (after complaints from the wife that she couldn't print something today). But, all in all, a good upgrade install. Regards, Tim -- Fedora Core 1, Kernel 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl, KDE 3.1.4, Xfree86 4.3.0 19:45:00 up 2 days, 2:12, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.05, 0.03 It's what you learn after you know it all that counts _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://smtp.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
