FC3 is like FC2 but with lots of bugfixes.
FC4 will be out on 6th June. Why not wait a bit and give that a try?
Paul.
Just to throw my 2 cents in, if the machine hangs, sometimes its because it
cannot figure out its own name via name lookup.
I had similar case like yours.
It would hang every time I got so feed up with it I left it on and it
eventually finished booting.
Xwindows would have a similar problem.
I finally figured out that it's the can't figure out its own name problem.
