I think, last time I did this I had to perform several actions as root - one was firewall related, I also had to install some packages that weren't available by default and configure / discover the network printer. Maybe I will take notes next time and enter a bug, although to be honest I would not expect the sophistication of elegant UI that Torvalds seems to, from Fedora (I have entered bugs on similar niggles in audio config, network manager, gdm etc.). -Cam -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
