In reply to the issue with the old FC2 box no longer connecting to the 'Net, I have a few suggestions. 1. You said the network card eth0 isn't showing up under your hardware. Perhaps you could try running kudzu (as root) to try to re-detect the card. 2. Did you try doing back to the previous kernel? If your network card seemed to disappear maybe the kernel upgrade caused a problem. I could just be talking out my arse here....Anyway, try editing your grub.conf file to boot the old kernel, assuming you kept the old one. 3. You might try re-installing FC2. Yes, I know going back a step sucks. Then, rather than update the whole system, just update the word processor. 4. Try posting your problem on http://www.fedoraforum.org/ There aren't many problems with Fedora for which they can't find a solution.
