I'm not saying I love SecureBoot, but that ship has sailed. I also wish Amiga hadn't futzed with their floppy drive stepper motors to squeeze in more sectors per disk and made my floppies unreadable without a trip to eBay, but that ship has sailed as well, so I pretty have to find the best solution available for the situation at hand. I would love for SecureBoot not to have happened, or to have happened differently. If wishes were horses, even the poor would eat. -J > > Gerry > > > -- > devel mailing list > devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel -- http://cecinestpasunefromage.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------ in your fear, seek only peace in your fear, seek only love -d. bowie -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
