There was a recent discussion on this topic and the decision was to remove Beagle from the default install because for too many users Beagle would suck up 100% CPU and leave the machine virtually unusable. See the archives for details. Once Beagle matures some more and causes fewer problems like this having Beagle in the default install can be reconsidered. Jeff
The beagle was disabled (I'm on bugzilla for that beagle bug and also I was active in discussions on mailing lists when that happened) but IMHO the reasoning that was for it to not be installed by default would make Fedora 7 look like Fedora Core 3 if it was applied to fedora as a whole and not only to beagle. I have substantially tested beagle on 7 different desktops and had ZERO problems. Also the bug in bugzilla is really vague. I have much more problems with other features in Fedora 7; like user switcher which, if you haven't used it, causes data losses and time losses. When other user logs in then after some time first X session just crashes taking all apps and all the work that has been going on there down with it! This is a MUCH more severe bug that beagle can produce and it is still installed by default on all Fedora 7 desktops. This is inconsistent. Either don't include any of new fetures that aren't rock-solid in Fedora 7, 8, 9, etc, or give us these great apps and iron the bugs out along the was. Fedora team should have left beagle installed an on by default and hunt down and squashed that bug. I contacted beagle maintainers for fedora and offered them my hand in testing if beagle is now good enough for prime time. here is the bugzilla link: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=217031 -- http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com/ linux, blog, anime, spirituality, windsurf, wireless registered as user #367004 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org.
