I'm only commenting on this and am not really expecting a response but thought I'd like to share my frustrations. 1) I couldn't synch my Palm via USB cable even though I had all the right software and setting installed and it turned out to be a mystery setting that hardly anyone was having problems with. - Now fixed. 2) Every now and then, when I print documents, they get sent to the que and then disappear without a trace, or an error for that matter. 3) Even though FC8 seems to install the ability to get an icon when something is in the que, mine never worked and therefor never knew it was suppose to be there. In fact, absolutely *NONE* of the standard ways of viewing the que from Xwindows worked. Now, for no reason at all by poking around looking at the info on them and without changing any settings, suddenly it's started working after rebooting. Go figure! 4) I occasionally have non-Linux partitions unmounting automatically with no error given or manual assistance. 5) ...and other idiotic things that happen occasionally. I'm starting to feel the urge to ask the question, "Is Linux stable anymore?" Since I get the sense that no one else is having these problems and more I wonder if I'm losing my mind....You seem to me to be raising 3 or 4 completely unrelated issues, none of which are very clearly described. I'm sure you would be better off dealing with them separately.
As I stated in my original message, I wasn't looking for them to get fixed, I was just venting my frustration over the kinds of things that have been happening. I'm dealing with issues separately but felt the need just to vent. I do feel much better now.
