Hi there, Sorry if this is a dumb question but hey... Since I can't get Mandrake 7 installed (read my other post about how it crashes when it gets to installing shadows utils'), could I install say Red Hat and 'upgrade'? How about if I stick with the same distribution, and upgrade RedHat 6.1 to the latest version? Any thoughts on this? Mad Marty [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Mail me for my PGP key!
