Hello: Welcome to the list, this is a great list with a lot of smart people. You might try looking through the list archives for terms like 'newb' or 'newbie' or 'installation' . There is a lot of the same ground that we go over with people, not that people aren't willing to help, but fyi since seeing the posts will teach you a heck of a lot. Good news: you installed FC1 successfully! That's great! Personally I don't normally do updates across versions, because I like to get a fresh 'clean' install at the baseline of the FCx number each release time, but that is just my personal preference. If you really want to go FC1 to FC3, I am sure someone on this list will likely help you with that. In my opinion it is just a heck of a lot easier to do a fresh install. The installation process alone will teach you a zillion things; in my opinion it is really worth it to reinstall for that reason alone. Google a lot. In fact, try www.google.com/linux for your searches as you already have much ot the territory cut down for you. Redhat.com has a TON of guides to all sorts of topics - you should be able to find docs, howto papers, etc. as you go forth. A lot of them are advanced but there is some good introductory material if you look around enough. Linuxmigration.com has some good introductory info <along with pictures> which I found very useful. Also linuxhomenetworking.com is another good one. You will find more in the archives. Hopefully that will keep you busy for awhile. Hope that helps Marc On Mon, 31 Jan 2005 22:37:43 -0500, Dustin Hill <dustinadamhill@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello all!
