I just want to add to whoever is having a great time
with 6.2 is that I had another weird effect ...my
Display card which is Trident 975 AGP and which was
working great with redhat 6.0 was detected by 6.2 (as
I was installing and not upgrading ) BUT then when
running X for the first time it showed some problem
with probing clockchip of the card and OH my god the
whole system hang ....everything stopped responding
.....I am not sure its really a display card's problem
.....so I need advice from anyone who had a similar
kindda problem b4 I go in for another card.
.....

P.S: And yes Mr. D'Rozario I faced the SAME problem as
you ...RH is eating some space for sure cause I tried
installing it on a 502 Mb partition and the total
package size which was reported 450 something Mb
failed due to "insufficient disk space " !!!
