I have no PDA, nor expect ever to, much less hardware to connect it to a PC. When I was working, and literally running my life on rails, its ancestors, then called organizers, were fine things; I had a whole series of them. Those who want or need them are welcome to them; strength to their arms. Theirs, not mine. To an old retired fart without a schedule, a PDA or even a fancy phone is a dispensable expense, and thus cruft at best, if not a security liability. So I tried to cut.

Some of them. I grant that. Some make mud seem clear. I don't understand, despite googling, what gvfs is or does. I know only that it too threatened to take a long list of indispensable apps with it if removed -- and that the gnome system monitor always shows some half dozen of its creatures, sleeping. But what of nautilus? It would be fine for bluez to depend on it; but why should it depend on bluez?? Is someone going to tell me that pango uses bluez, with or without hardware? And then sneer down his nose that I'm welcome to write new code?? What ever became of linux being tailorable?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
