Known issue? Open bug? Last month's "New bugs in updates" thread contained a subthread on "tracker search tool". There are a couple of issues with tracker. * It indexes removable devices by default. * The "tracker-search-tool" package is not installed by default. It contains /usr/bin/tracker-preferences where you can configure and turn off the indexing. * The /usr/bin/gnome-session-properties tool must be located and run manually. You can remove the autostart for the tracker miners there. * Unless new dependencies change further, it may be less easy to uninstall tracker completely. -- Fedora release 16 (Verne) - Linux 3.1.0-0.rc8.git0.1.fc16.x86_64 loadavg: 0.80 0.53 0.37 -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
