And, as I said in a previous post, its all moot. I gave FC4 the old college try, 8 total installs, 3 of which actually worked before turning yum loose on them. For my 9th re-install, I used a bdi-4.20 disk, which is debian sarge based with a 2.6 kernel and adeos for the emc required realtime stuff. Other than being a stripped distro (like vim was not installed, but a quick run of apt-get install vim mozilla fixed my two main itches. I don't know what more I can say about bdi-4.20 other than it Just Works(TM). Those FC4 disks, all 9 of them, are only going wherever the trashman hauls them. I've wasted enough of my remaining time on them. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
