Hi, I just recently upgraded my system to FC3 from FC1. It is important to note that the FC1 install was also an upgrade from Redhat 9, so some of the experiences I have run into might be from that. Hopefully some of this will help anyone else who always does upgrades instead of fresh installs. Some observations: 1. system-config-soundcard was not installed. After the upgrade, I had no sound, despite all the proper lines being in /etc/modprobe.conf yum install system-config-soundcard and then running that seems to have fixed this. 2. the menus were all messed up. Under the systems menu, was an Applications, Games, Internet, etc. submenu. In fact, the Games menu appeared under a lot of the categories. I eventually tracked this down to the new Gnome looking in /etc/X11/applnk and putting any directories in there in (seemingly) random places in the menu. Deleting these made the menus much nicer. 3. evolution was not installed. Clicking on the mail icon on the Gnome panel just brought up an error and then the default applications dialog 4. even after updating udev to the latest version, the Nvidia closed-source driver still has problems after reboots. Maybe this is still the status of this driver, but I thought I read in the archives that the new udev made things happy again. So far, it seems a little faster than FC1 on this machine (PIII-733MHz). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael Zingale UCO/Lick Observatory UCSC Santa Cruz, CA 95064 phone: (831) 459-2277 fax: (831) 459-5265 e-mail: zingale@xxxxxxxxxxx web: http://www.ucolick.org/~zingale ``Don't worry head, the computer will do our thinking now'' -- Homer
