Having just upgraded a couple of systems to Red Hat 6.2, let me
compliment the developers for a job well done.
I do, however, have a suggestion for improving the user-friendliness of
the installer. Here is the crux of the issue:
Philosophically, An "upgrade" of a system basically involves repla

Well, an update to the broken installer is available.
However, I think this fix is terribly inconvenient. Not only do I need
TWO floppy disks in addition to the CD, but I also need to remember

First some background; I burned a RH6.1 CD from an ISO image I grabbed
from ftp.cdrom.com. when I tried to upgrade my machine t
