The system board is a D865GBFL w/LAN,audio & video Processor Intel Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz 800FSB I got it in 2006. I switched to CentOS because Fedora will not install on it any more. Fedora 14 is the last I was able to install. Installation has almost always been a tremendous hassle for me, so I've usually not gone with the latest and greatest until my current nears EOL. I've read that a kernel bug is the reason that I could not install F16. Supposedly it had been fixed by F17, but no go. -- Michael hennebry at web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "On Monday, I'm gonna have to tell my kindergarten class, whom I teach not to run with scissors, that my fiance ran me through with a broadsword." -- Lily
