Ok folks, I've gotten all but .5 yea's from several of the users on this list, so here's the first test mail. Please let me know if everything in here looks ok, makes sense, is in the right order. I'm pretty much an Average Joe User, so holler if I've written something asinine or nonsensical. Let me know if I've missed anything, left anything out. Please note I'd like to leave this listing as short as possible, while still being informative. I figure I'll put the worst/most frequently asked-about problems in the subject title, so folks with those problems will know to look here first. If all like it, I'll keep posting it and make changes as the bug du jour changes. Let me know if anything should be added at any time! If people get sick of it/think it's not working or is no longer necessary, of course I'll stop posting it, simply give a holler. <!-- start --> Latest problems: ***WinXP Dual boot problems*** So you've installed Fedora Core 2 and now you can't boot into Windows XP...STOP RIGHT THERE!
