I seem to be having many problems with this release (2.6.1-1.65). One my home computer, after upgrading, my mouse wouldn't work and my sound card could not be found on startup. So I did a new "everything" installation. The mouse problem went away but I get an error message saying that a device couldn't be found. According to sndconfig, I must be using a kernel with modular sound. This problem occurs on every computer I've installed it on. I tried to run up2date. I had to uncheck balsa and epiphany. It also said that there was a dependency problem with redhat-lsb, but this package was not present in the list, so I could not uncheck it. I removed teh redhat-lsb package, but that didn't help. Next, I tried updating only the kernel. It took over an hour, using up2date. When rebooting with the new kernel, X wouldn't even start because it can't find the mouse. I've exhausted all means of updating packages: apt, yum, synaptic, up2date. This is the worst build of Red Hat / Fedora Linux I've ever used. I'm afraid I'll have to reinstall my previous version. -------------------------------------------------- This transmission contains information intended to be confidential and solely for the use of Value Line, Inc., and those persons or entities to whom it is directed.
