Now it recognizes that I have over 615 MBytes to download. Assuming I don't get "fap'ed", which I will, that means I have a ten hour download ahead of me in order to ensure that all of my packages are updated. <sigh> Here's to hoping that somewhere, buried in all those updates, is a fix to this problem. I haven't changed the smb.conf since FC2, nor any other configuration files, so here's to hope! Appreciate your help so far. At least I am not sitting dead at a brick wall, with the prospect of a totally fresh install as the only option available to me. -- A. Rick Anderson </pre> </body> </html>
