You don't seem to have a present need to change, so I'd say wait. If you install FC5 now, and want to upgrade to FC6, you'll need to buy the new DVD and run the installer. If a Gig of downloads would bother you, you might wait until later and buy a DVD of a respin of FC6 with updates. Note that if you install a test release (FC6t2 or FC6t3) you are expected to install the final release (FC6) from scratch, not as an upgrade. Trying to upgrade from a test or development release with the installer has not worked in the past, probably due to version number confusion and lack of testing. ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
