Enlightenment on FC3 Install Problems (WAS: fedora-list Digest, Vol 22, Issue 104)

Please NEVER reply with the complete digest. I myself, as I'm sure a lot 
of others subscribe to the full mail format and the last thing we want 
is people who subscribe to the digest to post the whole digest to the list.

Secondly, you must NEVER use a reply to start a new topic or ask a new 
question. This is called Thread Hijacking, and although it seems you've 
done it by mistake, a lot of people get upset by it, including me.

A minor one - please do not top post. In your case you weren't really 
replying to anything, but always reply to people's post either in-post 
(where you reply to separate sections of a post inside the original 
post), or reply at the bottom of a post (so it remains chronological and 
easier to understand/follow).

Another minor one - look at the subject line. Does "fedora-list Digest, 
Vol 22, Issue 104" really explain to the rest of the list users what you 
are trying to do? I don't think so. I've taken the liberty of changing 
the subject to something more meaningful.

Now that you have learned how to post here let's get on with your question.

Where did you get it from and what format is it in? I need this info to 
give you more help.

I should also mention FC3 has been upgraded to FC4 for quite a while 
now. Most of the talk on this list relates to the latest version, so you 
may want to consider installing FC4 first.

Regards,
Ed.
