I'm really confused about this process-- I'm installing a whole new Linux, here, and am not sure how to proceed. I see that in the directory for FC3 there is a subdirectory for x86_64. Should I install the regular version first from the ISO's and then add the rpms in the x86_64 after that? Or do I somehow need to create install disks with the x86_64 rpms? Sorry to be so dense, here.... Liz
