Yes. Well on everything except Linux it seems as when I just tried it I found it worked fine but I could not find a way to stop it pinging. Not even the escape key did anything.

I think that's stopped it but I'm not sure. > > I have now moved on a little but am now getting an error.... > > > > SELinux AVC Denial - flashing banner I can't stop!!!!!

Looking at the iso file I downloaded as I cannot find any way to look this up inside the desktop, the file says "fedora-8-live-i686.iso". I expect that means Fedora 8. > On the Selinux warnings, just click on the little star icon that > should be appearing near your flashing error message - it should > open up a window with some informative messages about the > problem Yes, I've stopped the banner now and as I wrote earlier it says "SELinux is preventing the Samba daemon from reading user's home directories." > and suggestions on commands to run to fix them It seems to offer no suggestions about how to get around that. > even Windows is complicated the first time you ever try to use > it - Linux is takes a bit more tweaking but you should be able > to get it - Thanks again.
