From this I've deduced that installing Fedora 16 without updates first resulted in my having a bootable kernel and hence a workable Fedora 16. As for the reporting of bugs, when I can reliably reproduce an error with some useful feedback I will do so, but as I well know it is very difficult to fix bugs with limited information or ability to reliably reproduce them. Unfortunately I'm still finding Fedora 16 somewhat unstable, yum/yumex being particularly prone to becoming unstable. So no updating my laptop just yet. Anyway, more information to come regarding failures during startup, as these appear it bit more consistent, and easy to narrow down. Here's hoping people new to Linux don't come up against the problems I have, it may not put them off Linux, but just the Fedora distribution. cpp4ever -- 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 Have a question?
