I've >followed these guides since F12, and they've worked beautifully. I recently discovered Leigh's post in the Fedora forums, and also my old post.

But things will be better after going to Fedora 18. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
