I have successfully upgraded from FC4 to FC5 on my x86_64 box, using the DVD. (Write up at http://www.weiqigao.com/blog/2006/03/24/fedora_core_5_smooth_upgrade_refreshing_new_theme_faster_responses.html.) I have a few questions after one day of use: 1. When I drag a file on the desktop to the trash can, the file disapears as I would expected, but the trash can remains empty, as if it auto-empties anything put into it. What is wrong and how do I change it back to the old behavior of keeping the trash and empty itself only when I ask? 2. I was using the nVidia video driver I downloaded from nvidia.com in FC4. After the upgrade and the reboot, I was informed (in text mode) that my X configuration doesn't work anymore and would I like to reconfigure it. I said yes, and it went on to reconfigure X. Now I have a "NVIDIA X Server Settings" menu item in my Applications->System Tools menu, with the nVidia logo. Does this mean I don't have to go to nvidia.com and download their driver? 3. When I do "Add/Remove Software" I see a separate category for either Mono or Mono development. I have to go to the list view and select what I think are part of Mono. Can I find a complete list of Mono software that's included in FC5 somewhere on the internet? Or better still, is there a better way of installing all the Mono stuff without going through this trouble? Thanks for the FC5 team for a polished product. -- Weiqi Gao (高为奇) weiqigao@xxxxxxxxx http://www.weiqigao.com/blog/
