Separate posts with different subject lines for different problems? This list, actually many other lists too, have gotten 'nasty' lately. Very nasty. But this is a good list for help. Your SELinux problems go to that list. Those guys there are the guys that 'do' it so they can help. They 'help' there are the guys that write the code. Just answer the questions. You will get your SELinux answer/solution. The tech KDE stuff? Not sure. Kevin Kolfer (I know that name is not correct - sorry Kevin) seems to be the Fedora KDE guy. In the least he knows his 'poo'. ;-) General KDE help? Go here to this WiKi: http://userbase.kde.org/ You have seen Anne Wilson's name here? She is not a developer or such but she has 'ins' like you would not believe. She is very active with that WiKi. Go with a clear question and the same type of answers to her will help you a lot. If she does not know she knows just who to ask. As for the rest? There are people, here, that can help you. *If* you can clearly describe your situation/problem and and keep it that way. The rants tend to run off help. There are a lot of good people here. Remember that you, and you alone, have your machine. It might be the only one like it in the world. And that you, again you alone, can see it and touch it. It is very difficult to try to help someone that will not 'help the helper'. And it gets more difficult to help the more that you 'pollute' your system with off distro stuff and 'tricks'. Good luck old friend. -- David -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
