I upgraded a Sony Picturebook (C1VFK), which would not read the CD, in this way. In principle this is very easy - just download fedora-release-5-5.noarch.rpm and install (with rpm) and then run "yum upgrade" (assuming you have internet connection) This worked in my case, but took over 14 hours IIRC - about 3 hours to download the rpm's, and the rest to run the transaction. -- 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
