Hi Joe, Thank you for the quick answer. I know that Fedora 6 is very old (and no longer supported), but -- amazingly -- this is what the hosting provider just installed on the server. I don't have any data that I care about at this time, but I can only access the server remotely. If I download the new version and start the installation from within Fedora 6, while remotely logged in, I will obviously lose the connection when the server is rebooted, without any possibility of reconnection without the vendor's (local) help ($$$).
