(He writes, with no idea of whether it's an easy or difficult thing) Get rid of the cutesy message about accepting fate and so on--or leave it, but the thing is, making it shorter means more folks are likely to see it, and just, at that point where you're saying alpha software something like, note, there is a good deal of debugging code in these kernels and they may need more resources to run properly. Or something similar. For me, with some very limited testing--minimal install on VirtualBox, install a few tools to be able to build VBox tools, then, install dwm from git, it was fine, with pretty low resources. I didn't do much with it, but even compiling VBox tools was reasonably quick. Either 1 or 2 GB RAM on a 64 bit VBox install. I believe F18 was the first to have a > debug kernel/high RAM, correct?

So, it might be the desktop, or the live CDs with this issue, as opposed to F18 in general. As someone who doesn't use Gnome, but seeing all the complaints on the forums, my first thought is that it might be a Gnome 3 issue. :) -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
