Using FC6 on one of my machines at work, and this home machine dual boots to FC5. I see I best get going with F7 to learn of these changes (although 8 isn't far away so may just wait a few more months and jump right to F8 - I've been doing fresh installs when upgrading so not an issue). Is this only F7 doing this now or other distros as well? Jacques B. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
