If you know then surely it would be better to give the URL rather than glibly telling people to "consult the HCL". As far as I can see, the HCL you are advising people to consult does not actually exist: "This page does not exist yet". The only reference I could find to "Fedora HCL" said it had not been updated since 2005, which would make it more or less useless, I imagine. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
