The oldest bug did receive attention but I do not believe that you supplied the requested information from what I read. 2) In that oldest bug you said that you have a pre-release of Fedora 11, which would be the development branch known ad Rawhide, running on your production machine. That does not make good sense. Might I suggest that you install a release version of Fedora. I would suggest Fedora 10 as Fedora 9 will EOL in a little over a month? that way your production machine can still do it's job and you can have more time to research your problem. I say 'your problem' because it also appears that no one else has this problem. At least not that I can see. Good luck. -- David -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
