I've gotten out of the habit of CLI shutdowns; instead, I click the little power button icon on my panel, and choose either Shutdown or Reboot. That works fine. Iirc, the last few times I tried Ctrl-Alt-Delete on any computer (even one running XP), what it did was not shut down, but reboot. That's one large reason I got out of the habit. -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
