I did it in one step. I used the CD installer, not a yum upgrade. I made a backup first, and then made a copy of my FC3 partition and made sure that worked, and upgraded that. The original FC3 is still there. There have been a few odd things, such as not having beagle installed (though libbeagle is installed) and having all my old kernels deleted, even those for booting the original FC3 partition, and I did clean up the various .rpmnew files. ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
