Sometimes you have all necessary information and can reach a well-founded conclusion. Sometimes you have to guess and hope for the best. When I have to guess because others are keeping information I need from me I'll postpone the guessing while I attempt to persuade said other of the error of their ways. But I'll still make that guess when all else fails. -BT -- Bjørn Tore Sund Phone: 555-84894 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] IT department VIP: 81724 Support: http://bs.uib.no Univ. of Bergen When in fear and when in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
