Kim - I'm sorry but I have not seen others with your CDROM issue with any frequency on this or on the fedora users list. I've installed FC3 (from early testing to various RCs to release) on a bunch of machines and on every one of them the CD works as you'd expect. It sounds to me like *you've* got some sort of gremlin - hardware incompatibility, broken drive or somesuch silliness. This is not the developers' or the distro's fault. It's not your fault. It's a case of "sh*t happens, now move on." Did you read the first paragraph at http://fedora.redhat.com? "The Fedora Project is a Red-Hat-sponsored and community-supported open source project. It is also a proving ground for new technology that may eventually make its way into Red Hat products. It is not a supported product" Pay special attention to the last sentence. Fedora is basically Red Hat's public beta of technologies which may (or may not) get into RHEL. Red Hat and the Fedora team promise best effort, but make no guarantees about this software. You're coming across as saying you want all the newest stuff (latest KDE) and you want it to run flawlessly. Guess what? It ain't gonna happen. If you're hanging out here on the bleeding edge it's going to be rough. You're busting the team's chops over what appear to me to be a problem that doesn't seem to be common. Move on, man. -- A: Because people read from top to bottom. Q: Why is top-posting bad? Thomas Cameron, RHCE, CNE, MCSE, MCT
