IMHO the HDD was running all the time because something was eating up your swap. I think you should try installing aptitude for fedora. It worked like a charm for me. Too bad none of the Fedora CDs are apt ready but there are ways to get around it. This is a howto of enabling apt for Yellow Dog's CDs. It will work with Fedora's CDs as well. http://moin.conectiva.com.br/AptRpm/EnableCdrom Apt is a really powerful utility and I recommend that you switch over to Debian if possible because its package management rocks! You better believe me because I was a Fedora / Redhat loyalist (still am) for a long time! :D -- Dinesh A. Joshi -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
