Well, I am defiantly what one would call a 'newbie' to the Linux world. I played around with Mandrake 9.2 for a while until a friend told me to give Fedora Core 1 a shot. (I agreed since Mandrake always crashed when I would try run a gzip command) I went to update Fedora after I had finish installing, it took me nearly eight hours to finish downloading the updates (in on cable, downloading these updates at about 2kB/s) When I FINALLY finished the download, the install stopped. It wouldn't even start, it simply stayed on the screen doing nothing. I tried this at least 4 times with the same results. I am wondering if there is anything I am doing wrong, and if so could someone give me some advice? Thanks -Spilk
