I agree. Besides, as is quite often the case, we accumulate nebulous extra stuff that we need to get rid of. I just recently did a clean install of Fedora. This was on a machine that originally was a 7.2 then upgraded to 8.0 and then upgraded to 9.0. I just saved off all the important stuff from the home directories and reinstalled. Much cleaner, and I can now configure it the way I want. (On the plus side I gained more space on the hard drive getting rid of the excess baggage) Rich On Friday 21 November 2003 9:19 am, Benjamin J.
