Let me give just one more example. I installed F10 on another laptop (mine). It's a Compaq Dual core AMD X2 with 8GB RAM. A fresh install. I booted into it after the install (and setting up my network info (wired). Logged in as myself. No network. No hint of a network. Loopback was up. Nothing more. With a static IP. Explain to me how this is 'better'? Explain to the average, first time user how to get this working? Determine how many n00bs are gonna want to fool with Fedora any more when a BASIC FUNCTION like networking, does NOT work out of the box. It's disgusting. Period. No, this isn't whining, this is simply a case of failed functionality. -- Frustra laborant quotquot se calculationibus fatigant pro inventione quadraturae circuli Mark Haney Sr. Systems Administrator ERC Broadband (828) 350-2415 Call (866) ERC-7110 for after hours support -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
