be patient, wait till there are compadible RPMs available. Unless it's really urgent I wouldn't install it at all until redhat ships it. X is a VERY big part of a system and if you install it incorrectly it can break a lot of things. Especially if it's not installed via package management it can make upgrades in the future break. so yes you should be very nervous about upgrading, and I reccomend against attempting such an upgrade unless it was absolutely vital to the operation of your system. i.e. don't upgrade just because of the new resolution switching extensions. Unless the system doesn't matter much and you don't mind spending time repairing it or reinstalling it if something bad happens. nate (linux user since '96) -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
