It also would be the least instructive because upon doing so, you would never know what it was that went wrong...i.e., was it something that you did (probably), was it something wrong with the way you updated/upgraded (possibly), was it something with an anaconda or 'preupgrade' or yum type upgrade (maybe). When I started using Red Hat Linux (like RHL 5.0), I had to break it a number of times, reinstall and continually evaluate to push my knowledge and I can appreciate that most people don't have that same level of interest. You have to really want to understand it to figure out that it all makes sense and it all is eminently fixable and a wipe/reinstall shouldn't really be necessary (beyond just to save time). Judging by your previous e-mails you seem to possess some computer skills and some intellectual curiosity but you seemed to just gloss over questions that I had asked which might have enabled me to help out at which point, I sort of lost interest. Something to consider...this list is all volunteer and people have varying levels of skills and you may get requests for more info or suggestions from varying individuals with varying amounts of usefulness and eventually you either sort them out and plug into those who can help out or you simply get buried in the high volume of traffic.
