I did something last night that really broke F17.  Unfortunately, I
was a bit tired and didn't keep track of the things I did so I
couldn't restore it.  So I reinstalled F16 and about to do preupgrade
to F17 again because the F17 alpha would only give me bare minimal
install.  Haven't had the chance to burn a F17 beta DVD yet.  OK here
is the info on new upgraded system (UUID
1e8f3c02-9ccd-45f7-9060-68f4d0aea671 - ID of submitted system profile
- of reinstalled F16 from DVD)...

IIRC, the removable optical drive is usually sr0, sr1, etc... right?
