The system is not designed to have you shutdown the operating system by holding the power button. That is a hardware related issue. If you try that while running Windows it would give you an error message when you rebooted. To shut down you can either use the option in the menu or run: poweroff or run: shutdown -h -- ======================================================================= Isn't it nice that people who prefer Los Angeles to San Francisco live there? -- Herb Caen ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- 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?
