It was a decent enough release, but at this point, it's actually impossible to do an FC4 install and bring it up to the latest security patches without jumping through many hoops -- and the result still being a almost two releases behind. You should be able to boot with an FC5 (or, momentarily, FC6t2) install CD and pick "upgrade" and have everything go just fine. Personally, I usually find it faster to configure my systems with a separate /home partition, and (after backing up any critical config files from /etc, which I try to minimize) then you can choose to do a new install but /partition with Disk Druid "manually", leaving the former /home partition unformatted but reformatting and overwriting the rest. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
