<DIV><SPAN class=489033218-07112003><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>It's an older
machine (IBM 2144-86P Aptiva Pentium 60MHz, 96Meg RAM) and I have to boot from
floppy... it won't even boot from the hard drive<SPAN class=427273721-07112003>
('cause I put in a bigger one than IBM shipped)</SPAN>. With RH8 it would boot
from the floppy disk then bring up the system from there.<SPAN

<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2><SPAN class=489033218-07112003>Last night
</SPAN>I upgraded to FC1 from RedHat 8 and that <SPAN

<DIV><SPAN class=489033218-07112003><FONT face=Arial size=2>I used the text

under-powered for GUI anyway...</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=489033218-07112003><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I did the
upgrade to FC1, I created a boot diskette... but when all is said and done and I
try to boot from there, I just get a message that says "boot failed"... I tried
several times... tried re-inserting the disk etc... nope.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=489033218-07112003><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now, I try to do the
upgrade again, and it just hangs in the "searching for packages to upgrade"
stage. (I left it all night in case it was just "slow")</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=489033218-07112003><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was expecting it
to basically go through the upgrade process quickly, giving me a chance to
create another boot disk....</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=489033218-07112003><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm trying to avoid

inconvenient.... :-)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
