Other people have a problem here and there with Fedora 8, but you are the only person I have encountered who has major problems every couple of days. Possibly you have stablized your Fedora 7 install, but I seem to remember you having similar rounds of problems with it. Your problem-solving techniques seem very unsystematic, and you are far too quick to declare that something is broken. I am not trying to put you down, but all these observations suggest that the problem isn't with the software most of the time, but with how you are exploring it. You might have better luck if you asked questions before you tried anything major. Also, you might consider making a backup of your system before trying any major change so that you can restore your system when disaster strikes, and keeping systematic notes of what you have done so that people can help you better. These measures alone would make your life (to say nothing of your interactions on this list) much less angst-ridden. Perhaps, too, you might start a thread abouts how to explore your system, and see what other advice people can give.
