Hello, I am new to this list and liek to introduce myself. My name is Stefan, 35 years old and I am an IT Consultant and developer from germany. I worked with Fedora Core 2 and WIndows as an dualbootsystem and did my development for windows on the one and the webdevelopment on the other OS. Worked perfect for me. Today I upgraded to Fedora Core 3 (stable version) and have some problems that I would like to fix - but I guess, I need some help. Would be great to find it here. I upgraded the version from 2 to 3 and did no new installation. My points are: If I start "Add/remove applications" and the packetmanager appears, just a few boxes are marked. For example GNOME is unmarked - but I worked with gnome and it is definitively installed. The same with KDE, Audio and Video and certain others. How can I tell this tool to remember the upgraded packages? I´m not sure but I guess it will install the old packages, if I mark for example GNOME. I have a Logitech wireless keyboard with multimediabuttons. In FC2 I added these buttons to the keyboardsettings in the section preferences. It was great to in- or decrease the volumne and so on. Now it does not work anymore - even, if I reconfigure the keystrokes. What happens is, that it just knows full power volumne (my cat was beside the subwoofer when I tested it the first time - I guess she is now 30 miles away and still running) or nothing. The RedhatUpdateIcon disappeared after the installation and does not work anymor. I cannot add it to the panel. Does anybody know a great clienttool for working with MSSQL databases? That´s all I need to move finally to Linux :-) Everything else seems to work perfectly. Thanks in advance! Stefan
