If you want to do a clean install, but don't want to have to download 200+MB (?) of updates after the install completes, you will want to use respin CD's instead. Respins incorporate all the latest updates up to the date that the respin was released, so when you do a clean install with a respin CD, you will have significantly less to download and update. If you come from a Windows environment, one useful way to think of respins is that it is equivalent to "slipstreaming" service packs into the Windows XP CD so that the CD contains the latest service packs when you do a clean install. Of course, if you already have FC5 installed and don't want to do another clean install, you may want to just download the available updates in the yum repositories. -- Pascal Chong email: chongym@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx web: http://cymulacrum.net pgp: http://cymulacrum.net/pgp/cymulacrum.asc "La science ne connaît pas de frontière parce que la connaissance appartient à l’humanité. et que c’est la flamme qui illumine le monde." -- Louis Pasteur
