Chris, I tend not to trust people who can't spell, because md5sums of their thoughts and their deeds are not matching. Jokes aside, let me restate my question and explain that I'm fully aware what rawhide is, and that you may want to go patronize newbies in #linuxhelp. I merely wanted to state that exec-shield is causing problems, so that other people testing rawhide don't have to spend too much time before they just disable it globally. It's a devel-list so I thought that there may be some people running "bleeding-edge" (although I'm not considering rawhide to be so "bleeding edge", just a step ahead of the masses). I merely stated that due to grub-install's behavior with exec-shield enabled (segfaulting), the boot loader got messed up on one of my test boxes (which I fixed 2 minutes later), not that I was requiring your input on what I should or should not run. Besides that, exec-shield is enabled in the kernel used by rawhide per default these days. I just wanted to point out that there are still many programs that crash or misbehave when exec-shield is enabled. The question at the end of the message, should not be asked in here "judging your level of expertise by this email".
