The systems are installed with apt and are using the Fedora repository to handle package installations and upgrades. We might need a local Fedora mirror if there are to be frequent reinstallations because I managed to crash the firewall with only _two_ systems updating at once. > Since your machines already have Win2K installed, doing dual > booting should be very straightforward.

We [temporarily] removed swap, defragmented the drive, and used the Mandrake installer to reclaim some space for the Red Hat install. I am hoping Michael will have some budget next year to be able to purchase a copy of Ghost and Partition Magic. > Wayne Welcome back to the list. -Vince
