OK. I won't. Why is that the new Redhat-config-packages does not list any installation options that were not on the cd images, and offers no 'help' file, or prompt for places to upgrade from. As gnorpm did? Is it FUD to notice changes in a backward direction? As a 'Microsoft' desktop replacement, it appears to move forward. As a platform for servers & services I'm not sure that's the case. If the target has changed from a general purpose operating system to a 'Microsoft' desktop alternative, notice to that effect is not readily evident. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Thomas Dodd Sent: Monday, October 28, 2002 8:24 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: RedHat 8 Upgrade Steve Gwynn wrote: > I agree.

It's been removed, on purpose. redhat-config-packages is ment to REPLACE it. Just as redhat-config-xfree86 REPLACES Xconfigurator. Please don't spread FUD. > On Fri, 25 Oct 2002, Robert Pare wrote: >>So after all the problems we had the other day, I would like to upgrade >>to Redhat 8.0 which I believe is the newest product.

Any feedback, suggestions or >>TIPS would be greatly appreciated! It's working great for me. Some new tools and new configs to learn. Like GNOME2 and XFT2/fontconfig. But fairly stable so far. Upgrades go well. Like all previous releases have. Just check the log afterwards and update new files. 'find / -name "*.rpm*" ' is helpfull to find new configfiles that may need adjusting. -Thomas _______________________________________________ Guinness-list mailing list [email protected] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/guinness-list
