That's a Windows solution. :) What exactly happened when you tried to install Red Carpet? What packages could it not find? Did you try downloading and installing them, first? > So the next question is - what's the recommended method to > upgrade from 7.3 to 8? If you do decide to upgrade to RedHat 8.0 (and there's not necessarily anything wrong with that-- I upgraded to RH8 a few months ago and have been running it trouble-free ever since), you should be able to download the 5 ISO's from redhat.com, burn them to CD-Rs, pop in the first disc and go through the Upgrade process. I usually do a clean install when I upgrade, but when I went from RedHat 7.3 to RedHat 8.0, I decided to do an upgrade instead. The process was very easy, and I had only a couple minor problems. YMMV, of course, so make sure you have a good backup before you start. ~Jeff
