FC4 installed

I have the base Fedora Core 4 installed with only a couple issues. When I decided to install the new OS and update my software, I figured I might as well upgrade my Hard Drive. I got an Ultra ATA/133 200G drive and replaced my 20G drive. Of course, I didn't read the package and didn't notice I needed a different I/O card. Back to CompUSA to get the new card.

The second little glitch was I downloaded the ISO images and burned them to CD. Except I didn't realized I had to burn them in a specific way. The second time I figured it out and was able to install right off CD.

The particular distribution I used had Firefox 1.0.4 and OpenOffice 1.9 (2.0 beta) so I'm no further ahead in that respect. Since I was planning on re-installing these packages anyway, it's not a big deal. My first task, however, is to get the MySQL 5.0 source and get Apache configured. More updates to come...

I don't feel so stupid now that Jeff has done as I did! They don't even make good Frizbees!

But they make a neat sound going through the shredder.
