    Fedora Core 6 Not able to update

    My fodara core 6 installation no longer is able to get updates and when I click on add software an error pops up that says that I am not connected to the network. However I can surf the internet and users have no problems connecting to the website hosted on this machine. Any ideas on how to correct?

    "A reminder to users: Fedora Core 6 will reach its end of life for updates on Friday, December 7, 2007.

    Fedora 7 will remain supported until one month past the release of Fedora 9 (as things stand, this would be roughly through the end of May, 200.

    - The Fedora Board"
    Your best bet would be to upgrade to a newer version.

    Okay, thanks. I am downloading version 10 upgrade now. But the last time I upgraded to 10 the root account was gone. Thats why I went back to 6. All the directories that were created under the root account I no longer has access too. Did they get rid of the user account root or is there a step during the install that I might have missed.

    root login in GUI has been disabled in Fedora 9 onwards.
    Back up data and go for clean install of Fedora 10.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
