Re: [orca-list] What distribution?

Hi, Jude,

It proved unnecessary, to have to fiddle with a kickstart file.  Good thing
too since I don't have a floppy drive.  Don't see those very much anymore,
you know.

If moonshine fedora is available for download any longer, it may be useful
to install that fedora and copy the kickstart file moonshine creates to a
floppy and then install the newer fedora version using the kickstart
moonshine created for you.  You may not get into all that much trouble that
way.
