After so many problems seen day after day it is nice I think to hear

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?

I really do not know Jeff. But often, while using Firefox I get an
attack that puts a cross hatch screen on and removes the keyboard and
mouse, and puts a single tone out the audio channels and only a hard
reset will clear it.
This is how I think a rootkit would work and so I got rkhunter and
right now I am trying to get it to check /home but have not found out
how to do this :-)
