i went to nvidia.com, and downloaded the appropriate shell script (or 
whatever it was).  i then tried booting into init 3 by changing the 
inittab setting, and it told me that it did not find a preconfigured 
kernel for my OS.  i dunno.  i'm waiting for azureus (which continues to 
give me a declining share ratio even though its been seeding everything 
i've downloaded for two months) to download FC5 and i'll try that one.  
i'm probably going to have to format ... and that is going to suck.  i 
don't think the upgrade option works (or so my peers at work tell me).
