I got many things working and sent in 4 Bug reports none of which

here and be done with it :-(

Fedora 8 test 1 is about to kick off. Are you sure you don't want to
go forward instead of reverse?

Hi Jim, its a real shame that my very special wants like gmfsk and a
Palm backup are so important I need them. They do not work on F7. That
said I will be glad to help with testing F8 when it is ready. I can load
it and try things and report back here.
You'd think that if there was regression from FC6 to Fedora 7 for a
particular program, the newer distribution would find out why the newer
version does not work and fix it. Fedora 7 should have less breakage.
You might want to hold off a bit for Fedora 8 test 1. I am updating my
laptop from F7 to F8 and a lot of problems currently exist. My mail for
one thing does not work. (both Seamonkey and Thunderbird)
If you do decide to take the plunge into the development for F8, the
list for problem discussion is the fedora-test-list. Responding with
test release problems on this list usually gets a lot of people
irritated since the list is geared to current released versions of
Fedora and not the test versions.
Good luck getting your problems for the programs that you mentioned
addressed so you can move up to F7.
Jim
