If you can't get the needed rpms you are stuck either way. Note that fedora is a fast-changing distribution so you'll probably have a gig of updates if you are doing it now for the first time. If you want something that doesn't change/update quite so quickly and periodically rebuilds the distribution isos so new installs don't take so much of an initial update you might like Centos: http://www.centos.org. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
