I have to say...within the past week I have attempted several fresh installs of FC5, and everytime I run a yum update on anything, something breaks. What the heck is going on? I ha installed FC5 on the 80gb drive I had that just bought the farm in, hmmmm, July. I had updated everything, and the system was all happy and smiley until the hdd went last week. But now, suddenlym I can´t install and update FC5 without breaking stuff... I DLing Kubuntu right now... My work and my business (document translation) depend on my computer, and this crap is costing me time, sleep, and money. I´ve been using RH or FC since RH7.1, and I´ve never had so much trouble just getting a system up and running. I don´t know...I still have some FC3 discs here, but I don´t want to go backwards. I don´t want to install FC5 and not be able to update stuff, even. I like everything up to date. I´m getting headaches with all of this... Sounds like more of a rant than a support request or anything valid, hein? I have been all gushy and lovey about FC and RH for years...Suddenly, I don´t know. I mean, I´m not doing anything different than I have for the past several years...but I´m not getting the same happy results I´m used to getting. tony
