I have been bitten by the dual boot bug. With help from many here and elsewhere, thanks Sean, I will get it back working, but we shouldn't have had to deal with that with a "release" version. Are we to treat all versions of Fedora as release candidates and not true released product? I have been working with RH since 99. I run RHAS on my production, but have been testing Fedora on the workstation side. I use Fedora at home. I liked Core 1. It was fairly solid, a few minor bugs, but stable. Core 2 hosed my XP partition and I have had a few other niggling things. I work through them, but as he stated, this is the release, not test version. The dual boot issue and a motherboard issue are major issues that should have been show stoppers. As stated, this can cause a black eye to the distribution and to Red Hat by inference. While I greatly anticipated the Core 2 release for the 2.6 kernel, I would have bided my time if it had been announced that there were a couple of issues and the release was pushed off. I am hoping that real testing takes place with Core 3 and that it is not released with major issues still hanging, just to release it. I will stand by Core 2 and will work through the issues. I just hope that this haphazard style of release does not become the norm. -- Edward M. Croft Sr. Systems Engineer Open Ratings, Inc. 200 West Street Waltham, MA 02451-1121
