Arrrggh!!!! 

Ive just down loaded Fedora 2 as I thought (probably through dissucssion 
via this list) that RULE was going to standardise on Fedora.  Therefore 
for now I think the fact that Slinky only goes to RH v9 should be 
written in large letters on the install guides!!!

Anyway no big deal got the FD discs created now and am away to download 
v9!!!

David
