Hi Jonathan, I would have expected that SOMEWHERE that GNOME or respective upgrades programs should have taken care of installation issues like this so that less geek people can continue their business without grief. Do we ALL have to become linux experts to fix things that otherwise could be taken care of? I don't have TIME to read the RTFM's to get a CLUE where I should start when things go wrong. I would *expect* linux to be a *PROFESSIONALLY* built product with performance tuning, sound configured *automatically*, etc., etc., but hey... someone has to get paid to support the otherwise lack of professionalism? Don't get me wrong. This is my wish list. If Linux is ever going to replace M$ as the desktop, then professionalism should be expected and required. That is why M$ wins hands down (never mind the other well-known secret OS hooks, secret snooping, or vaporware program promises or other "sins" M$ did and perhaps continues to do.) Just my humble opinion. ~Dan On Fri, 04 Jun 2004 10:33:57 +0100, Jonathan Rawle wrote > Dan Thurman wrote: > > > I found that if I BLOW AWAY the /tmp files and BLOW AWAY my > > personal account and make a clean account, I was able to get > > the GNOME start up to come back to it's senses so now I am back > > in the game with the FC1->FC2 upgrade.
