I have Drupal 7.2, the latest version, working very well in Fedora 14.
May I suggest downloading Drupal 7.2.tar.gz into /Downloads, extract it into a folder that will have the same name as teh archive, sudo cp that folder to /var/www/html/ -note the following / so it doesn't overwrite anything in /var/www/html
In Firefox do 127.0.0.1/drupal7folder and if you have the database set up it should start the install
Roger.

Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to
grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.
