If you're on this list, you are not running a testing release. This list is intended for *core* releases (read, stable production releases). There is a test list dedicated to test releases... and we've been over, and over, and over this same topic before. People running different versions of an operating system (e.g. FC1 vs. FC2-test-2) will run into different issues. It is much easier for *everybody* if the questions, answers, and discussions about each are kept on different lists. It lowers noise, and increases the chances that you'll actually get help.


But back to the point: you keep saying you're running a test release. If you are running any testing release of FC2, kindly subscribe to fedora-test-list and post there, both for your benefit and ours. If you are running FC1, then you are under the sad misapprehension that FC1 is a testing release.

Which, to my mind, does show some ignorance of the subject matter. That's not a bad thing, and doesn't make you a bad person, but it *is* something which it would be nice to correct, don't you think?

You might say that people are buying a service at a park, while at Fedora, they
are just testers. [...] Treat your testers with respect.

Reading this part, I become more and more convinced that you believe all Fedora releases are testing releases. I am not going to attempt to convince you that you are wrong. However, if you believe you are testing, then PLEASE go to fedora-test-list.
