I have not used any flavour of linux in more years than I care to even think
about.  I decided to give it a go with Fedora Core 6.

I installed on a older Pentium 2 MMX box. The install went smoothly and I

availible and told the system to install them.

I waited... and waited.. and waited... and nothing happened- at all. No list
of updates.. no notice updates were taking place. Nothing.

reboot.  While shutting down- the machine froze. The background image was

was doing something- so I let that sit for a while- and again, nothing
happened. I powered off.

I powered back up- and boot starts normally- the graphic enviornment starts
up and starts loading.

Near the end- when I expect the desktop to show- it reverts to the command
line.
