Thanks to your reminder, I took another look. But I soon hit places where I was unable either to read or to copy commands -- despite trying both Firefox and Opera. So I dug out my old F7 Respin DVD -- and hit an odd problem. This machine for some reason is reluctant to admit it sees my external USB CD/ DVD drive. If you poke around, you find a place where it gives its name, but no more. I got it to see it long enough to transfer some data in, but not on boot, by first logging in as root. I guess I'll have to try that again. -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Fedora 8 & 9; Alpine 1.10, Pan 0.132; Privoxy 3.0.6; Dillo 0.8.6, Galeon 2.0.3, Epiphany 2.20, Opera 9.27, Firefox 2.0 Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
