Chris , There is a program called "script" that was most likely installed in your system by default. It copies everything sent to your screen to a file. The file can then be sent to others to help debug your problem(s). As an example: grunzasr@stm32dbg% script output_file.txt Script started, file is output_file.txt grunzasr@stm32dbg% yum install some_package Loaded plugins: fastestmirror You need to be root to perform this command. grunzasr@stm32dbg% exit Script done, file is output_file.txt grunzasr@stm32dbg% cat output_file.txt Script started on Thu 14 Jun 2012 04:47:35 PM EDT grunzasr@stm32dbg% yum install some_package Loaded plugins: fastestmirror You need to be root to perform this command. grunzasr@stm32dbg% exit Script done on Thu 14 Jun 2012 04:48:00 PM EDT Just a suggestion… Steven G. > > > >From: laptop-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:laptop-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf >Of Brian Morrison >Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2012 4:26 PM >To: laptop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: RE: WiFi For laptop > > >Right, so did you do the yum.... command I mentioned, as root?
