Do not top post, do not quote the *entire* digest in your reply, do not reply with a useless subject line (your message was something *about* installing not about "fedora-list Digest..."). Find the part of the digest that you're replying to, quote just that portion in your reply, reply below the quotes you're responding to, set the subject to be the same as that portion of the digest. But be aware that the digest posts are not good for replying to, at all. Your reply will not be tied to the prior post, and will not be seen in conjunction with it when others see the mail, it will be a dis-attached orphan. Because of the near uselessness of digest replies, and the continual mis-use of them by respondents, I'd far rather see the mailing list reject digest replies, and force people to reply in a more sensible manner (e.g. reject replies with digest subject lines, reject replies with huge digest quotes, with the rejection notice saying why and advising how to reply better), like some news servers do. > to the two people that are struggling with the installation of Fedora > 9, it is simpler to install it straight from the website.

I don't know how you'd call it simpler, either. You've got to create something to start installing and boot from that, then give it the address for the network location to install from. That's more complicated than burning an install disc and booting from it. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
