Hi Lee. Fair comment. I did a fresh install of FC5 on some harddrive freespace

last night. On the first install of FC5, when I eventually got X to start,

the bootup showed selinux started, then udev tried to start, but failed, also

saying it would continue to try in the background. I disabled selinux, as I

don't feel that I need it, and at the next reboot udev started with no

problems. On that install I now have planetccrma stuff, music apps, etc.
I thought it best to try a fresh install to see if /dev/dsp was there with

these udev problems on bootup. Some time later (4 am) , with the same udev

failure showing on the fresh install, I got logged into KDE. Opened up /dev ,

and there is dsp giving me the finger, so it does not appear to be a problem

caused by selinux, and udev showing a fail on bootup.
I have never done an upgrade over an existing install, but have read that

there can be problems.
Nigel.
