Dear Mike,
This wasn't my intention at all. I never implied that the OS was
at "fault". What I meant was that most probably the new upgraded OS might
have change one or two things, e.g installation paths, different
assumptions, etc... that I needed to know in order to determine what I
need to do next. I don't blame the OS at all. Be reassured and I maintain
that RH is doing a good job and has always done a good job. :-)
Of course when RH upgrades its distro, it's naturally for the better and
that there are sound ideas behind certain changes/additions.
Many thanks for your kind reply and help.
