Some cases all of it is there and I just change status, others will not include a trace or log that will be needed. In those cases if I have the necessary hardware, I will try to reproduce the bug and post them. --Brennan Ashton -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
