Well, FC5 is long out of support, that's what you get for waiting so long until you finally upgrade. (Hint: you're supposed to upgrade at each or every other release, not wait 5 releases and then install in parallel, still keeping the totally outdated version.)
Kevin Kofler --------- jbyers; I am fully aware that I was/am way out of date, and fully nonsupported in fc5. I _was_ trying to install the current f10 (which i think you would encourage) but wanted to retain fc5 until i successfully installed f10, surely a safe practice.
Instead I got my main fc5 clobbered by some combination of --my own inexperience --a live/install cd that did not have a "custom" option. or i couldnt see it.
David's experience also was that there was no custom option.
I purchased my cd from OSDisc.com Fedora 10 KDE Edition - install/Live CD
is this some outdated version? or a deficient version? not officially supported? How is one to know?
