I'm not really interested in your file since it based on my work and hardly differs from it. I just wanted to point out that I *did* try to cooperate: I provided you my work, I asked for your progress and my mine was documented in the wiki. Can you say the same for your work? > Neverthless if you wanted it, you could have easily send me a > reminder instead of bringing it up after such a long time. That was a boomerang. I can say the very same or even better: Before sending a reminder you should have told me about your plans in first place. > > My name is at the top of the ks and you hardly can remove a copyright > > notice. > > It is a kickstart file with a bunch of packages and groups and some > simple configuration changes.

Anyway: Frank is right, complaining does not help, because it doesn't fix the damage done. So I'm going to stop here. > Rahul Regards, Christoph -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
