It does sound like a very good way for those who can use it. Unfortunately for me, I lose out at "virtual machine." I know what one is, and even had one once (set up by an Alpha Technoid friend) .... Thanks for the clue, though. If I ever get far enough into virtuality (as I should, for topo map purposes), I'll remember there's a way to use it for upgrading, too. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
