Re: Why most run Microsoft, not RedHat

Hi,

Microsoft:

When it crashes, you insert the software CD, and
somehow you will get
going again.

I'm curious as to how you somehow get going again while maintaining
the presense of your files. The usual methadology is format and
reinstall.

Fedora&RedHat:

When it crashes, you insert the software CD, but
instead of
the situation above, most of your work is lost !


When what crashes? I have never seen a situation where Fedora as a
whole crashes. At worth, X server crashes, but that's hardly a reason
to reinstall. One only reinstalles if they have been rooted.


True/False ?

I suggest that the installation WILL have an OPTION
for installing the
X-server. It can be on the rescue disk, for instance.


I'm pretty sure you can already reinstall the x-server using the
rescue disk. Wouldn't be much of a rescue disk if you couldn't do
that.


If anyone has a good tip as how to reinstall X in
Fedora6,


yum remove "xorg*" && rm -rf /etc/X11/* && yum install "<DE OF YOUR CHOICE""


I sure would like to know and hopefully rescue my
disk.
But frankly, I don't understand why such an option
isn't
there in the first place.

Please state what the problem is exactly.

BTW - it was the Add/Remove software packaged that
failed, it should only remove some graphical package,
but surprisingly removed the X-server as well.
( did look like it rolled back the depencies.. )


That is no where near being called a crash. That's called removing
your x server. You data and system are perfectly safe.
