Hi All, I've been following this list for quite some time via the archives, but just signed up today. First of all, I'd like to commend Red Hat for all of its efforts in supporting us Linux users through the Fedora project and encouraging our input in the process. I, like many others, was originally a bit disconcerted by Red Hat's original announcement of the abandonment of RHL and boxed sets. I purchased and *LOVE* RH8 and RH9 but am now looking forward to receiving and installing the Fedora Core 1 CD's I ordered this morning (my 56k dialup connection makes downloading ISO's impractical at best). Thank you Red Hat for your continuing support of open source software and users like me for whom your Enterprise line is not a good match. My intent is/was to install Fedora over an existing RH8 install... if this is advisable, once the CD's arrive. Is this wise, or should I just do a "clean install" over my RH8 partitions. My hope is to maintain my various settings and preferences, and to keep a fully functional RH9 install in the event the Fedora installation is less than perfect. I've seen lots of discussion of various methods of ugrading RH9 to Fedora, but none on upgrading RH8 to Fedora. Any feedback or suggestions are welcome. Jim Dishaw
