Just some comments. I have just upgraded my 4.4 box using anaconda (yum upgrade just updated the yum update repository then didn't do anything). Some comments: 1) To start with I forgot my root password so I tried linux rescue from the 4.4 CD. Except the kernel compiled for that assumes you are running SELinux, which I do not. So when I chroot'ed to /mnt/sysimage and did a passwd, SEL reported that I didn't have the appropriate privilege. Quick as a flash, I vi'd /etc/shadow replacing the garbage between the first to :'s with nothing so I could su into root without a password at all! So much for protection. By definition, linux rescue will only be used by someone on site so I don't see why it should assume SEL is enabled. I think it should be disabled. I realise that the Upstream Vendor is married to SEL but there are those of us who would rather not use it at all, particularly as we patch the kernels with alternatives. Would there ever be a possibility of SL without SEL? 2) Using anaconda from SL 5.0, the upgrade went OK but the Release Notes pages always returned a blank screen with some squares at the top. I guess this is just an inclusion error when the installer is compiled. 3) Once the system was rebooted, I couldn't log in via KDE. First an error was reported about an eggblue file missing (I didn't have a pen to copy down and the RAC isn't working properly) then when I logged in, a message was displayed saying that I had been logged in for <10 seconds so there has probably been a fault. I got into the system on failsafe xterm and deleted the .kde directory but KDE logins still didn't work. Should I have deleted anything else? /tmp/ files??? I could login using Ice and everything seemed to be OK. I can login to the box remotely - it is only when I am onsite that I can't login via KDE. 4) It would be nice if the many interesting photos displayed had the place, date and photographer displayed perhaps with some interesting information. So much nicer than the UV installation screens. But one can get bored out the skull waiting ...:-))) Best wishes John John Logsdon "Try to make things as simple Quantex Research Ltd, Manchester UK as possible but not simpler" [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask] +44(0)161 445 4951/G:+44(0)7717758675 www.quantex-research.com
