Ah yes,
   So I understand now.  I did apt-get update &&
apt-get dist-upgrade.  Took a while and multiple
attempts since quite a few servers were busy.  I
assume I will have to keep doing so until all of the
packages load (several attempts resulted in connection
time-out errors).  Is this correct?  Anyway, I
appreciate everyone's patience.  So here is my
question, do I need the 2.6.8-1.521 kernel to continue
with my FC2 install or can I continue with the
2.6.9-1.6_FC2 kernel (I actually have three kernels on
my system right now (2.6.5_1.358, 9-1.11_FC2 (which
does not boot up into any graphics type environment)
and 9-1.6_FC2)?  

   If nothing else, I guess I could do a fresh install
of FC3, but that seems a bit drastic if FC2 was stable
and , based upon recent posts, there seems to be quite
a few issues with FC3 atrpm's.  I am really open to
suggestions here.  The wife is growing impatient since
"Alias" is starting up again.  

Thanks,
George
