I've got a classroom of 20 machines setup in a dualboot mode with windows 98 and Fedora Core 1, and fully updated. I had another machine exactly the same, that had Red Hat 9, I did an upgrade install, and that worked fine, then went to do all the Fedora updates, and it failed to fully update. I thought it had something to do with the updating, so I just wiped out the drive and did a clean install of Fedora. Again, this all went fine, but again while doing all the updates it downloads the 200 updates, and then freezes during the installation, and then APT gives these messages about having duplicate installs of a number of packages. The 20 classroom machines are exactly the same, and they had no problem with the Fedora install, and then the complete fedora update. It wasn't 200 files back when I did those, so I'm thinking it is something in the updating from the original to the current updates. Note: I was also testing the 1.90 core, and it installed fine, but then after installing updates I had similar problems with the X-server not being able to start, and the later kernel would not see the mouse, but the old one had no problem. Any ideals on what to or what not to update at first. Tommorrow, I think I'll try to ghost one of the drives over to this machine, but this one is suppose to be a Linux only, so might just ghost, and then delete the Windows partition, and then mount the free space. Thanks. +----------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
