The fix I suggested bit me once on a Sony laptop I had. The BIOS overrode what I had set and it drove me mad until my cat sat on the keyboard while it was booting. A strategically- placed paw forced it into BIOS and when I looked around in there... BOOF! I saw it. The kitty got a catnip mouse for her efforts. I reward good work. :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, C2 Hosting ricks@xxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - We have enough youth, how about a fountain of SMART? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
