Sorry, I forgot to mention that I'm running 8.0 Which brings up another question. Since installing 8.0, something has gone wrong with my computer such that I now cannot use the CD-ROM! I have tried a new unit. I have tried moving the CD-ROM from the secondary IDE channel to the primary. I have tried making it the master, slave, etc., nothing works.
Anyway, I'm not trying to solve my CD-ROM issue any more as I think it's more of a motherboard issue or something, but I would still love to upgrade to LM8.1. How can I do this? I know there's a way to do an FTP installation. Can you tell me how to initiate this? Thanks for the advice! -----Original Message----- From: Jose M.

Removing .drakfw starts this process over again. You may want to go back and install as many RPM's as you can. Did you reformat and re-install? Or did you attempt an upgrade? ;( -JMS |-----Original Message----- |From: Johnson, David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] |Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 2:52 PM |To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' |Subject: RE: [newbie] Changing window managers | | |I start up in text mode, so idea 1 is out.
