I used to know computers inside and out. I could program in assembler language in high school. I would order individual pieces, like the motherboard, drives, video card, networking card, etc and put them together to build the ultimate gaming machine. Now, I'm a computer idiot.
This weekend, I decided to upgrade from Fedora Core 4 to Fedora 9. I did all the important backup work, then started with my Fedora 9 LIVE CD. That seemed to work, so I installed it. Unfortunately, for some reason I can't access the internet. After hours of trying, I finally pulled out this old PCLinuxOS CD I had that I've used before as a Live CD. It does enable me to log on, but I can't download the files I need to reinstall Fedora 9, or 10, for that matter. Even this program unexpectedly crashes often. Gah, I'd hate to have to install WinXP on this computer, just so I could download Fedora 10 for a new install....
OTOH, it was an awesome day today, and I got most of the outside yard work done.

Drag it on over and I'll get it going. I have an FC10 DVD ready to roll.
I finally got PcLinuxOS installed on the hard drive, so I've got more normal net access. Right now, I'm downloading the FC10 Live CD. I'll try an install with that, and see what happens.
Thanks for the offer, Jim, but I think I'll be able to make this work.
Nice to know someone still reads these posts, though!
