I don't know much about version numbers but from your Linux
version, I would say that it is higher than Redhat9 because
my Redhat9 has the same revision number but a lower
'subversion' number. (I call 28 subversion because I don't
know what to call it.) So I think you have succeeded in
upgrading.

I have FC1 installation CD but it can't be used with my
latest computer because after installation, it cannot detect
my monitor properly. Cannot see words in X-Window. So to me,
it is junk. I don't know where to change the setting of my
monitor outside X-Window.
