I guess I was a bit tired and overwhelmed by the changes and how they will impact my activities over the next 18 months. Hit the panic button a little too soon. Your comments are consistent with the follow-up message by Jef Spaleta http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2003-September/msg00388.html BTW, Jef was a bit miffed about my cross-posting to two other groups about this issue. It was not my intent to offend anyone, as can be read at http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2003-September/msg00396.html Michael Schwendt also added some insight to the discussion. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2003-September/msg00390.html Thanks to all for your patience. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
