    Is this an upgrade or a clean install?

    If it is an upgrade, did you go to FC1, FC2 then FC3?

    I ask this as I went from RH 8 to FC1 and it took a few month to get the
    bugs worked out. Heck I still found the weird problem related to the
    upgrade last week.

    It has been advised in the past to do a clean install instead of an upgrade.
