Nate,

(Gee, it's a pleasure to read a non-BSD msg these days...:-/ )

I upgraded FC3 -> FC4 using a DVD I got from Steve. I had no problems
booting from it directly to the boot: prompt. From there I just hit
<Enter> and things were off & running. No double-pump required either
during the installation or after.

P.S. Post install, though, I must have spent an hour stripping out all
the non-English packages for aspell, openoffice.org, man, etc. The last
time I tried asking for a 'Merican-only "everything" install, every git
with a room temperature (or lower) IQ chimed in to ask what there was
about the word "everything" I didn't understand.
