you are upgrading from FC5 to FC6. there wont be any problem. i prefer and suggest fresh install only if there is a huge change in version like FC3/FC4 to FC6.
go ahead for Upgrade ! Good Luck !!!

So I'm not concerned with the media players and things like that. What I am concerned with: Web Browsing USB converted to PS/2 mouse support SSH (telnet if need be) httpd FTP (or whatever secure version of that exists) probably some sort of simple text editor, like PICO will FC6 give me issues with this?

No, you should be fine. You should also make sure to de-select any user interfaces during the install unless you want to have the option. It'll save you a couple hundred megs.

It is not, nor do I believe it was ever intended to be, a save-all "let's ask a question about FC6" thread. If you have a specific question about some aspect of Fedora Core 6 "Zod", please start your own thread in this section of the forum and we will help you. __________________ Registered Linux user #270181 TechieMoe's Tech Rants
