If you want to try to get your computer Athena-ized without
reinstalling, it may take a bit of work. The rpm's you need are
available, but I am not certain whether simply installing will suffice
to get you going. I've Cc'd this to the Linux-Dev list, so it'll reach
someone who'll know better than I do.
I *suppose* you could type 'upgrade' or whatever at the boot prompt when
booting from the install disk. I'm going to try that tonight on my
machine (Mandrake 7.0.) If no purple people eaters fly out of my screen
as a result, it might work for you, too. I'll let you know.
Alex.
