When it comes to components, you don't need to know. Last time I checked it read: "If necessary, just guess". And when comes to version of the distro, you can easily determine it by clicking "System" and choosing "About fedora". I also believe the version number is visible somewhere during the boot. For other field that bother you, such as "Priority" or "Severity" my advice for you is: Don't be bothered by them if you don't know what they do. Do not touch them. > Fedora tends to be overbloated.

Maybe the samba dependent part could be made into a subpackage? Could you please file a bug report? It would be a nice exercise of filing tickets in Bugzilla, you can utilize the hints from above :o) > Funny but I more and more time spending working in Mac environment > (because of the Fedora issues). One note - Safari complains about > bugzilla's query pages (looks like nobody tested them in Safari) Noone has to use Safari. In fact, it is usually a pretty bad idea to do so. However it might be nice to have it working there... -- Lubomir Kundrak (Red Hat Security Response Team) -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
