RH 8.0 woes

[Michael Knee]

My $.02 worth:

I installed RH8.0 (from download) and had no problems whatsoever.  A number
of people on this list reported similar experiences.  So I suspect the
problem has something to do with that particular individual's setup.

Note that he went from 7.2 to 8.0, bypassing 7.3.  Don't know if that's part
of the problem or not.
