It's been 2 days since I loaded F7 on this computer with a 160 GB HD and so far I have got one application (Thunderbird) working after being told which lib file to yum in. This should have been in F7 by default.
I've had no such issues. Do you mean from the subject that you had fedora 4 installed, and then you inserted the fedora 7 dvd and chose to upgrade ? All apps I use at work {thunderbird, firefox, gkrellm, vmware-server {not part of fedora}, vnc, tsclient, wired networking, 1400x1050 display} all work fine.

I am still trying to get Skype to work. I have tried a lot of things but still not the intuitive things used here on Fedora Core 4. They don't exist on F7.
Is this in relation to skype, or in general operation ? How do you mean ?

   There are some harder things I must have working at least as well
Can you actually speak in specifics here ? Which packages ?

as here on FC4 or I will just stay here. Getting F7 to do things is a pain. I think for my way of doing things I better drop back to Red Hat 9, or even 7.
In my opinion on the hardware I have it on: dell poweredge 1600sc and hp compaq nx6320 {core 2 duo}, Fedora 7 is a definite improvement on all previous releases.
