Then you have to handle updates yourself.

She isn't exactly "computer literate", lacking the nearly 35 years experience I have. And got the passwd failed message, twice in 2 attempts. At that point I knew I needed to go fix some pretty basic stuff, and rebooted to the single mode to setup a few more accounts and passwds. >> 3.

The install dvd screens did not have a release notes button on the lewer left corner as previous versions have had. I thought that was odd also. I also don't believe I found NM or network running when I as single user, did a 'system-config-services' to shut off the bluetooth stuff and some other nfs related stuffs, resource wasters in a 372 megabyte machine. > >Tony [...] -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
