Yes, I know N - 2 goes EOL a month after the release of the new version. I was just suggesting gently that the OP, since he was building a new system, should have gone with at least F26. But there are things that people run that are dependent on older libraries and such and I get that, but they probably should run a longer-lived distro such as CentOS instead of our favorite, bleeding-edge and (at times) frustrating Fedora. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Time WAS on my side.
