I should have looked at the manpage in Fedora more thoroughly. Actually, I was expecting that I do might have to re-install after trying things out for a few days, and now it looks as if I won't need to do that :) Now that mostly everything is working fine, I have begun to read more of the available documentation for Fedora and need to read more over the next few days.
