If no one can offer a fix for the x problems, that will happen tomorrow. It was just that I hated to lose all the customizations I had done to make the network work, things like that, and it almost did succeed in screwing the pooch, it overwrote my /etc/hosts file, and left me with a zero length resolv.conf. It did, amazingly, leave my hard coded ipv4 address alone. And one thing I can complement rawhide on, tty* is almost running at the displays native resolution instead of the 80x24 screen F8 had. ????? I just typed yum check-update, 2 hours after doing the preupgrade, and it is going to install one package and update another 119. I repeat, WTF? Beer-thirty and I obviously am at least 3 behind here. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
