Steve,

FWIW, a FC3 -> FC4 upgrade on this 32-bit laptop produced a barely
functioning mutant that I had to put out of its misery. I'm afraid FC4
will go down in history as one of the most aggressive and buggy Fedora
releases to date. There really should have been one or two more test
releases before it was pronounced RFPT.
