Yes. For the time being, the RH9 Docs CD is the best (if not only) game in town. There may be a Docs CD by the time FC2 is released. > Second question -- we want to use OpenAFS, but I only see versions for > Redhat 9. Will they work with Fedora? Probably. While there must be a bazillion smaller differences "under the hood" between RH9 and FC1, both are based on NPTL kernels. That's often the most significant compatibility factor for a lot of 3rd party software. Chances will be even better if you get the .src.rpm and rebuild it on an FC1 box: http://www.openafs.org/dl/openafs/1.2.10/redhat-9.0/openafs-1.2.10-rh9.0.1.src.rpm --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL
