well--do you still have the bottom bar?

[Hcard]

yes the bottom bar is their?
no date or time at top
and stuff that is open when i minimize it they disappear they used to go to the top bar?
thanks

right click an empty space on the bar/panel--add applet--clock
then do again and add another complete panel if ya want to even--then click that new one and move it or tell it to be on top.
Bars/panels are very customizable......explore the choices until you get it set like ya want.
Dozens of choices for this!

thank you on the gnome panel
got it the way i liked
that was easy thanks for the tip on that

now is it possible to do a network install
from my winxp box that has the 4 iso of
fedora3 and install it with out having
a cdrom installed?

thank you

You would need to serve them over the network in some way, via http, ftp or nfs. (I believe all of these support network installs via isos.) For example, you could use Apache httpd.

Then boot the installer and run

linux askmethod

at the prompt. The easiest way is to boot CD1. You'll save 3 CDs at least.

Maybe PXE network boot will work, but it's a bit complicated. see this old Red Hat howto.
