It's supposed to be, so the people who have these bug problems will see it first thing when they come into here (or it will hopefully be easy to pick out in the archive) and not hysterically post that they can't get into Windows, and don't have to bang their head on the desk because they can't install FC2. It's in *no way* a comprehensive FAQ for Fedora 2 (we already have that!) and this is not something that Redhat is going to want! I'm not trying to re-do buzilla either; they have a page of latest bugs, and a huge query engine that confused the crap out of me ;) This little list is tailored for this group only, just to stave off repeat questions for the larger problems that we see here. I'm going to post my 'list' when I get home from work tonight so everybody can take a look-see. If folks like it, fine. If they don't, fine. If someone wants to make it an 'Uber FAQ', thats fine too, but that's not what I had in mind. It's supposed to be quick and easy, worst bugs first, places to search, then I have tips on posting to this list, then some window manager links. That's it. Short and sweet for those who have the attention span of a gnat, just like I do. :snip: > Good luck! Let me know if I can help in some way. > You, and everybody else here is welcome and *encouraged* to see and advise on the list I've written. Also, if there are other bugs/problems that crop up, people must certainly let me know if they think it should be added to the list. I'm Average Joe User, and some of the threads here I completely skip because they're practically Chinese to me! I don't have enough technical know-how to help hardly any people out here. But I see the same things over and over, so maybe I can point them in the right direction, giving the oldbies a break.
