(I don't really trust upgrading rh9->fc1) You don't trust upgrading RH9 -> FC1, but will use random RPMs to upgrade to Gnome 2.6? You complain about the lack of new program versions, but then complain about having to upgrade. You can't have it both ways. Many people (myself included) have upgraded just fine. Backup your data and if the upgrade doesn't work you can still format and do a fresh install. -- William Hooper -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
