Hey all !!! Seems to be working well. Playing video with XINE is only a 5-10% CPU utilization with the Rage Fury Pro doing the grunt work. Now to get that TV out working !!!   Thanks again all   Tom ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom Bednarchuk To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 8:18 PM Subject: Re: [Newbie]Upgrading to 4.2.0 WITHOUT losing my existing desktop etc. OK , we're gonna try it again before I get too far along with this system.

Anybody have any tips on doing this. I tried to upgrade my RH 7.2 box so that I can use the updated ATI drivers and try and get some hardware accel for MPEG playback but I just succeeded in screwing up the system. So I have reinstalled and now want to try again but I don't want to blow it this time. Obviously I said Y instead of N to a question in the installer that caused this.   So, has anybody done this successfully? If so, how ? Well, in my case I just hit enter for everything except when it asked me if I wanted to install the Japanese fonts, I just wanted to save a few Kb of disk space.  I have to say, it worked fairly well.  I didn't notice ANY change, so I am happy!
