I willing to accept that filing bugzillas has a purpose but it does not allow you to get a solution to the problem you are facing. I pointed out all the problems FC6 were causing me (all of which I solved without help[ from bugzilla) and I did what people told me to and filed three bugzillas. One fell into a black hole (since I since a record of the original post was not sent to me). On the second I have never heard anything. The third I was told it is not red hat's problem go complain to someone else. But reports do nothing for the poster in the near term. Fedora as I posted has problems on older machines that no previous Fedoras has. To me it is less stable and usable that nay other Red Hat product. I explained the problems in the official manner and received no help at all from Fedora. The fact that FC6 works for some other people is of no help to me. On another level. I find grub better then lilo but if people on this list don't agree with people like Res they can well control themselves from ad homonym arguments. Saying he posted while drunk is unacceptable in my view. -- Aaron Konstam <akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
