In particular, every version of F10 has been unusable for me *except* the pre-hotdog olpc-gnome.iso, where I had no problem starting GNOME and pulling up Firefox and browsing around, without overlays or swap or special efforts to stop extraneous services. I'm wondering what differences there are between that version and the follow-ons that might explain this. Squashfs vs. ext3 doesn't seem to account for it, but it's over my head in any case. I'm off for vacation for a couple weeks, please keep plugging away and have everything perfect when I get back. ;) --Jack Spaar -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
