After so many problems seen day after day it is nice I think to hear
about a success.
F8 was installed from a DVD and came right up with a video problem cuzz I
have a Nvidia video card. Fixed in 5 minutes with Nvidia binary. Then audio
problems and found pulse audio the problem. I was told to yum remove and I
did and audio is fine again.
I have had all the updates and they appear to be real Updates! So today
December 10 2007 my F8 is working just fine. I have just one problem. I
I will mark this down on my calendar, and ensure that it's engraved in
stone to pass down to historians. Such a feat was certainly unthinkable
:)
seem to have a rootkit somewhere in the /home/karl/ directories. I have RTK
and this afternoon I plan to find the thing, or discover I have no rootkit
but rather another kind of problem.

How do you know that you have a root kit?
and while we're here, karl, do you remember how, really recently, i
suggested that it would be polite and courteous to everyone else on
this list (not to mention more meaningful) if your subject lines were
more informative than, say, "It Works fine"?
seriously, karl, do you remember me encouraging you to do something
about that? and yet, here we are. so i have an absolutely
dead-serious question -- why didn't you take that advice? is is that
you don't think there's any value to carefully-chosen subjects? or do
you agree that there is, but you just don't feel like putting in the
effort because you have so little respect for all of the members of
this list that you just don't care?
really, karl, those are your only two choices, and i'm curious about
which one applies here. can you answer this question without
impugning my character, or my technical competence, or my nationality?
because, sincerely, i want to know. i want to know why, despite
numerous people on this list constantly giving you advice on how to be
a better list member, you simply never take that advice. and it's
either because you don't understand it, or you do understand it but
you just don't care.
so which is it, karl? just call me curious.
