RE: Still trying to get Fedora Core...

Gerry,

Thanks for the response.  I'm struggling hard to make the transition away
from MS and become wholly immersed in Linux.  I guess I'm still not
sophisticated enough to know exactly how to upgrade from the yarrow .iso
images.  Do you mean upgrade RH 9 from the Fedora?

The language on the Red Hat site suggests Fedora is an improving branch off
of RH 9.  I just want to keep up without having to uninstall and do a new
installation of Fedora.  If I run disks from the Fedora .iso images will
they detect what I already have installed and update only those parts that
need updating?  RH 9 was my first Linux installation.  I love it, but I'm
still facing a steep learning curve.

Steve

Wouldn't it be easier just to download the Fedora iso images and upgrade
from them.  I did that on Sunday and it didn't take very long.  Once I
upgraded from RH 9 I loaded apt-get without problems and used it to
upgrade all the packages.
