Re: updates CDs from 6.0 to 7.0

["Danny Wheeler" <dwheeler suffolk lib ny us>]

I did that upgrade and had problems with various services. It is a big jump
for RH. When I did get most of the important stuff working again I was not
too impressed. Then I backed up the important stuff, did a complete install
instead of an upgrade and I like my computer much better now, Its just what
I've been looking for from linux.
