You may want to try that. The graphical install and upgrading from Fedora 6
were the two major problems for fedora 7 not working that I could find.
Couldn't hurt; hope it works for you, I know how troubling kernel problems
can be.
I've heard that, too, which is interesting because it just installs the
same packages. I don't see how it could be really any different...
Dan,
I know I am bleeding edge here, but RedHat has a strong support team and a
bunch of volunteers fixing problems. One of the best things about it is
that you get a lot more functionality with the newer software.
When I get my new hard drive in for my new weather2, I'll install it in
text mode, and see what happens. If that works, I'll reinstall the
software on weather. At the moment, two out of three fully functional
machines I can live with. the funny thing is, when it crashed this
morning, it did so just before 12Z...I think that's a pretty low data
period.
Also, I wipe the hard drive clean for every install...I never upgrade
anymore. There were way too many problems when I did that several years
ago.
Who makes CentOS? The problem is, I have a bunch of stuff in my /home
directories and email that I'd really like to keep...
