FC5 is very new and therefore problems are numerous. Trying to update from RH 6.2 to any Fedora in one step is going to be hellish. RH 6.2 is probably 10 or 12 years old. A lot has gone on in Linux since then. However earlier Fedoras like FC3 or FC4 are pretty stable and the bugs have been removed pretty much. Now if you are running 6.2 I would guess you have a slow machine that would have difficulty with Fedora. But in any case updating would be better done by saving your important data somehow, doing a clean install of a Fedora (it could be a stable Fedora) and then installing your saved data. -- Aaron Konstam <akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
