Hi, Lisa: Yes, I'm working on the HOWTO. It shouldn't be much longer. However, there are no substantive diffeences. In other words, if you follow the HOWTO currently on line, you won't have any real issues. Perhaps the only thing that might need comment is that Fedora Core 3 provides SE-Linux. We advise disabling, or checking the box for "warn only." Of course, if you know about SE-Linux and know what you're doing with it, by all means use it.
