Well, I decided to take my main linux workstation to the Fedora Core 1 I will have clients on it, and I will need to have a system with it running. I will keep my existing servers on RedHat 7.3 however. Stay Tuned....

ok, the latest is that after repeated attempts, I could not do a direct update. So, I thought how about a "stepped" approach to my problem. I have RedHat 8.0 and 9.0 cdroms as well. I'm in the middle of a 8.0 update and all seems well for the moment. I will update to 9.0 after that, then, try the Fedora Core update. I'm not sure why this is happening.

What version did you update to Fedora orginally? Since Fedora was really supposed to be 10, updating from 9 would make sense. Perhaps it needs something from 9. I wonder why linuxiso.org doesn't display 8.0 downloads?
Any noticeable difference between 9 and Fedora? Aside from putting in the cd's and updating?

well, from what I understand, fedora core is a minor update to 9.0 with a new system of updating. I made the upgrade from 7.3 to 8.0 with no problems. I am updating from 8.0 to Fedora Core without problems except for one....Fedora did not know what my monitor was, and couldn't find my serial mouse....which 8.0 did. Actually, I thought I was going to have to go from 8.0 to 9.0, then to Fedora Core. Hopefully if stable, will save me a few hours of config.

Thats not a surprise with the monitor and mouse. 8 knew my sound card right away. 9 got confused and couldn't detect it. Very strange that 9. Wonder if just around then they cut a few corners just to ship it out. Whatever it was, I think they rushed it out more so than 8.

well, I got it running last night. Unfortunately, I have to use a slightly older kernel to make the sound work. They haven't made a new alsa rpm for the newer kernel yet. I'm not in the mood to compile that beast. I did get voice chat to work on it, but, no mic support. The developer for the voice software also has issues with ever writing proper documentation. There are some errors....gnome won't load. My KDE settings did migrate though, but, I have several hours of reloading and house cleaning to do on it.

Ok, I now have most of my tools reloaded on my system, and my years of data are still intact. I setup the DVD stuff, but, neither mPlayer or Xine are working right. I hope to run cd burning tests soon. Also, I need to find out how to add to the window manager choices in the login menu. This is not readily apparent. I have a complete XFce desktop on this system and will add IceWM and possibly the ROX Desktop as well. Time for a little digging on Google.......

I've decided to give the Fedora core a shot --I first tried to upgrade an redhat 8.0 laptop but that is not going very well so I think I'll just do an install from scratch. I'll let ya know how it ends up.

Well, I have to say, it installed relatively painlessly. I did have to do the install twice as I managed to screw up the video configuration after the intial install; and I figured it was easier to just do the install again then try to undo what I did 
I am, in fact, posting this message from said Fedora Core laptop running the FireFox browser (which I really like) so we'll see how things go...

Well scottman, my next task is the upgrade from Fedora Core 1 to Fedora Core 3. We'll see how that goes.
