I don't feel qualified to create feature/bug distinctions. I will just report
what I have done.
Restarting this morning with a clean install, hardware as follows:
System looks like this:
Gigabyte GA-K8NS motherboard [nForce3 250 chipset]
AMD64 2800+
1.0G DDR400 ram
30G Maxator ide [lost the rest of the documentation]
70G Seagate sata
Yesterday, I could not get a working install to the sata drive. This morning
I have after 4 tries. Only by accepting automatic partitioning, NOT
requesting an option to include an entry for the FC4T1 installation on the
other drive, could I not bomb out on a python script error, or install a
system that could not find the kernel.
I requested 'disable' for selinux, and selected 'everything' on the final go.
With the system up, having taken root:
In the midst of update with rhn. Key installed. Package select all does
not work. There are duplicate entries in thelist displayed. I am selecting
by hand.

Selection process seems to have just locked up. All I am running is this
terminal window and Kysguard, which show a massive overload of nothing in
particular, gdm specifically.
up2date package selector is toast. Killing it out.

in /etc/sysconfig/desktop:
DESKTOP="KDE"
DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE"
I will need to shut down and see if this works.

I had to reboot in order to switch display managers. Just restarting
xwindows did not do the trick.
Noted failures on the reboot:

I could not log on as root with the new login manager. But I can live with
that. Ksysguard shows the kdm running essentially zero load.

Retrying up2date, since more cycles are available. No joy. It works up to
the package selection dialog. I can't select just one package and proceed
with an upgrade.

I am running: yum update And it is doing something - flaking out.
I am restarting: yum -t update Nope.
03/17/2005-10:38:11 AM-EST
I am trying: yum -t update kde*
But first: yum remove jpilot
And then: yum -t update kde*
I will have to get up2date, or preferably yum working before I can go further
with this project. I have read the yum man page, but I seem to be missing
something.
