FC3T1 probably should be more appropriately named FC2-SP1.  But as long 
as there are improvements, names don't really matter.  (As we all know, 
FC2 made so many major changes from FC1, and did not go through a 
commensurately long testing period, resulting in a half-baked system.  
FC3T1 couldn't have come soon enough.)

I know it is very cumbersome to have to d/l the three images then burn 
them into CDs before installation.  But if Vince gets time to supplement 
our local mirror, all you need to do is copy two moderately sized files, 
vmlinuz and initrd.img, into your boot directory, then modify your 
grub.conf  so you can do ftp install (or harddisk install if you d/l the 
iso's).  The whole process should take no more than one hour.

(Since this is a test OS, you probably won't want to overwrite your MBR; 
thus, you should specify so during installation and, after installation, 
you also need to go to console mode, Crl/Alt/F3, to edit your grub.conf 
so you can reboot from this new installation.)

The water is warm, and we need warm bodies.  wayne
