here's the current situation if anyone wants to suggest tests. i have my two gateway MX7120s installed with fedora 11 alpha -- one with i386, the other with x86_64 -- virtually identically (about 1550 packages on each). the first difference is that, at the end of the install, when i rebooted, the i386 install rebooted cleanly while the x86_64 install flashed a screenful of kernel diagnostics on its way down, but it still booted cleanly coming back up again. not sure what that was all about. at this point, before i do *anything*, should i take note of the current setup in any way? suggestions? my first step would be to update the yum/rpm packages but, to do that, i would first update "fontpackages-filesystem" since its original packaging conflicted with "rpm-build" which i installed, so my proposed first step would be: # yum update fontpackages-filesystem # yum update rpm\* # yum update yum does that make sense? but even before i do that, i'm still open to what i should record in terms of current config. thoughts? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
