I do think it's worth going to the trouble of getting the latest FC, since sooner of later you will have to do that, and there may be problems skipping a distribution, eg FC-4 to FC-6. One thing I strongly recommend, having got into a mess myself with an FC-5 installation that did not work, is to have a separate /boot partition which is left (ie not re-formatted) between installations. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
