Hi Being new to the fedora mindset (but not to old Red Hat) I would like to ask: Does the below mean that they will fix it and what is the timeframe for a fix like that ? A nice working fix implicate a new release because even a limited install will not run well enough to run up2date -u. Or does it mean that we should not expect Virtual PC to be supported ? As I understand it FC2 uses self modifying code and Virtual PC does not support that somehow. Now even though self modifying code can be very immensely smart it has never been best practice ...
