Many thanks to Nigel, Jim and Robert. Sometimes things are just too simple and therefore overlooked. I thought that backing up different files and zipping and unzipping and copying would just dig my hole deeper...I told you I am easily confused. So, what I did was give up and decided to reinstall fc6. I only inserted the first cd and it found the installations and asked me if I wanted language etc... then to change bootloader; I chose no and added fed6 to the choice box that already had fc5 as the default. After that, it did no more installation and it gave me the "Congratulations...etc" and told me to reboot. I did and much to my surprise Fed5 and Fed6 were my OS options. Caveat, my second fc5 choice was not there, but I'm sure it can be added if desired. I would also like to thank all who create, help and fix. Your worth is invaluable. George Hare
