aacraid on Dell PowerEdge 1800

[Ryan]

Hello,
  I've been through several of the news groups over the past few days and
haven't found an exact answer to my question.

  I'm trying to install Fedora Core 3 on a Dell PowerEdge 1800 server that
I just purchased, but the version of the aacraid driver for the SATA raid
controller changed and I can't install.  

  Just like the newsgroups state, Fedora Core 2 installs just fine.  My
problem is that I can't afford to run software that is outdated.  There
have been several security issues lately and FC3 seems to have fixes for
them.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

-Ryan

This is somewhat off-topic, so I'll be brief.  If you can install 
Fedora Core 2 and the only reason you want Fedora Core 3 is newer 
software, "man yum" after installing the 'yum' package (or choose a 
different updater to suit your prefs) will be your friend.  In other 
words, a newer OS isn't the only way to get newer software, 
especially on an OS that has a decent package management system (RPM 
in this instance).  FWIW.
