Hi there,

I am having some difficulties upgrading redhat 8.0 to FC1.  It appears some
libraries are not being located.  one of hte libraries is libtk.so.0 but I
have tk loaded on the machine.  Also I rebooted and it is still claiming to be
a redhat 8.0 machine (see below).  Is there another step I need to do?  Why
are these libraries not present?
