If I could upgrade my fc2 server( which does not boot ) with fc3 or fc4 that's fine I will find fc3. I had tried to reinstall fc2 with my Cd's . I chose automatic partitioning then I chose Keep all partitions and use existing free space which showed three partitions, /dev/hda1 boot /dev/hda2 root /dev/hfa3 swap when I had tried to click next, I got error that you did not choose Root directory. I did not know what I had to do. Then I have decided to back up my data and reinstall with remove all partitons option .
