Well, no it isn't. You might not bother to configure wireless when you install if you don't need it. But that just doesn't apply to this case at all. 'basic graphics mode' is pretty clearly positioned as a workaround for dealing with graphics problems. It is not offered as an option very prominently, you have to go dig and find it. There's no particular reason you'd do so unless you had an explicit reason to. It's not like, on a 'normal' install path, you have a dialog that lets you pick Basic or Not-Basic and some kind of compelling reason to pick Not-Basic. Not-Basic is what 99% of people will see. Basic is something you only see if you picked it explicitly from a fairly obscure place, which is only going to happen if a) you figured or read that you needed to do so to deal with a graphics problem you encountered when first trying in Non-Basic, or b) you twiddle with stuff way more than is good for you. I'm just not convinced we need to go to great lengths to deal with case b), which is you. It happened to you. You complained. We told you what happened. You now know. This seems like a perfectly appropriate way of dealing with the problem, given the very small number of people who are likely to encounter it.
Ok - fair enough. I did the install a couple of weeks ago, so I don't remember exactly why I had to (or thought I had to use) Basic mode. (Using was F17 was an acceptable work-around which is one reason I didn't investigate earlier. I'll now see if I can get F18 usable. I'm having some problems on F18 with it dying - probably due to overheating; maybe BumbleBee will help.) -- --Per Bothner per@xxxxxxxxxxx http://per.bothner.com/ -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
