What I can go by is only what I'm seeing here, and that something "works OK for almost everybody" is an assumption that cannot be verified. When upgrading Fedora the way it's recommended works so well, then how come that people are suggesting that it's better/easier to re-install or to use an alternative, untested method? Not knowing why upgrading didn't work last time and why merely updating went wrong now is fine to begin with. However, I'd like to know why things went wrong, and I would gladly contribute to finding out why and how they went wrong so that things can be improved upon. I don't know where to start and what to look at, though; it's not even sufficient to make a bug report now which could be useful. Simply saying that things aren't perfect and claiming that they work "OK for almost everybody" isn't going to improve anything. -- Fedora 18 -- 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?
