Not to pick nits, Aaron, but there are some things that NM simply cannot or will not do correctly (e.g. it won't even bloody start unless you have a user logged in so it's useless for a large number of applications). I'd hardly call the people that have to work around those problems by using the legacy stuff "diehards". Yes, NM is quite good, but a complete and utter lack of docs for it is a major problem, and it appears the people working on it aren't willing to farm the creation of docs out. I know. I offered to do it at least four times and was met with a deafening silence each time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, C2 Hosting ricks@xxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - "If you can't fix it...duct tape it!" -- Tim Allen - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
