 FC13
   HTTPD on FC13
     LAMP rocks!
    Fedora Rocks!

  Upgrade complete!

I used preupgrade.  The boot sectors
did not have enough space for the init.
preupgrade asks if you want to continue.
You need a wired connection.  I have that,
so no problem.  Nice~!


What I had to do for my server last time
was a little bit scary. Then I actually 
deleted the kernel images from the boot 
sector!  The boot sector didn't have 
enough space otherwise even to hold one
kernel image.
This time I did the following:

  yum remove kernel*oldkernelnumbers*

for all but the most current fc12 kernel

That way I pared down the boot sector files
to the smallest amount necessary.
Both machines upgraded well!  Little
bit of video glitch, probably doesn't have
the current nvidia driver.

Next is the notebook machine.  That uses
ATI graphics.

I had a dream that my notebook computer 
fell out of my car and smashed, in it's
backpack, out on the highway.  I am sure
the highway was somewhere in Vermont (in 
the dream) but maybe not.
I guess that is my subconscious saying to 
me screw the notebook computer.  Get
an app phone.

Camera time
Here is a tip:  Don't travel with the
notebook computer unless you are using
it for work.  Instead get more flash 
cards for the camera.  The weight of thing
made travelling very difficult
at the SFO airport.  I'd travelled
all day and was very tired.  Then I had to
lug the carry-on, the notebook napsack
and two suit cases to the rental car.
Next time I'm travelling lighter.
Less is more!

Truth is I did need the computer to download
the images part way through the trip.
Used to be, years ago, that I would use a
250 Meg card and have to down load pictures 
two or three times a day while photoing.
Now I have an 8 gig and a 16 gig card
and I didn't need to transfer images 
but once this last trip.  So . . . one more
16 gig card and I am thinking that I can
leave the computer at home.

Most good hotels have a PC these days for
checking things on line for the guests.
It was OK to have the ocmputer to surf the
web one night in the motel room.  It was
not necessary.

I did all my writing this trip in a notebook.
I also had my Zoom digital audio recorder
and made a lot of rambling recordings while
travelling through California.

Any way:  mission success!  FC13 is now what
I have.
