It's not a problem of not understanding, but not knowing any details yet.

Please kindly point at the detailed post you refer to by providing the
link to the specific message in the list archives.
( http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/ )

I've noticed that several list members have asked for details before,
but you've not answered their questions.

What network-facing services do you run?
What firewall settings do you use?
Do you keep SELinux enforcing enabled?
Or do you turn it off or switch to permissive mode?
_What_ damage do you discover?
Do you use your computer as superuser root or ordinary user?
Do you use proprietary software like Adobe Flash?

Some of your writings sound like you run into ordinary software bugs
(or even packaging bugs), but not successful intrusion by hackers.

ALL of the above..

I think it is worth pointing out that I was the OP of
F14 login fails on backup copy; gdm error?

I didn't receive even one reply speaking to my problem.
Talk about hijacking!

Actually the first respondent did make one brief comment
supposedly discussing my problem but that was incomprehensible,
and then that response went on a long  ramble,
starting the hijacking of my post.

Sheesh!

I'm doing it the only way I know how to do it in forums..  Harald should
have flushed his nasty post, before posting it..  Harald may be a wise
one, but he doesn't need to bully us little bugs, just cuz we happen to
be in his way the moment..  If he confronts something he doesn't like,
he always has the option of looking the other way, at something he does
like.. If he doesn't like me, then he can just forget me.. he shouldn't
read my stupid posts if they gives him a headache or pisses him off...
Not everything in the thread is for him...

As far as properly detailing what's happning to my machine, I think I
have detailed it as much as words can say it..  what parts of, crazy
people are targeting and torturing my life, can't you understand sir..?

I know what I need, given that this torture isn't gonna just go away by
itself..  Seems I'm doomed to be their toy to break, unless something
big happens to wake them hell-hounds up to love and reality, soon.. I
needs a way to make a bootable install CDR of the Fedora system,
exactly the way I've customized it, so that all I needs do is DBAN a
corrupt hd, and install the OS with just a few mowse clicks, hopes I.. 
I've tried and tried and tried to make that custom iso, but it always
messes up..? as in never works..  If I had that CD, I wouldn't give a
flyin'thht if the kooks damaged this crapper internet box's OS.. I'd
probably DBAN the hd, and reinstall a new fully loaded fedora every
couple weeks.. Heck! if I could, I'd set it to automatically DBAN
itself, and reinstall F-14, every Monday morning, without it needing to
be net-connected.. so than the g'rillas wouldn't get in, to mess it up,
to get their precious wet's and tinglies bullying innocents...




No, I haven't tried F-16 for testing its screensaver slideshow time
period..
I'm a little gun-shy, after trying F-15, WhooH!  YikerS!.. It was a
nightmare in the least..  Please tell, is F-16 a good stable OS, and not
as scary as F-15 is..?

As far as the specks on my machines..  They aren't here.. but they are
absolute crap at best..  I get my computers from garage sales, the dump,
and from the spring cleanup when people put their hard trash out at the
curb that week..  I don't know what it's like to have a real computer..
but I'm bets it's a lot faster than these four pieces of garbage
combined...

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.  What evidence do you 
have that strangers have targeted your machine and repeatedly trashed 
it?  What have you done to make your computer either an easier or harder 
target?  Have you disabled either your firewall or SELinux, and if so, 
why?  Do you have the ssh daemon active and if so, do you allow root 
logins?  Enquiring minds want to *KNOW!*

Yo Joe..


Quoting:  I don't know what you're doing to make Fedora fail often...


I do..  I published that I saw the three whites in the eyes of several
politician candidates during the last national election, and that I
don't want druggies running our nation and our lives..  Suddenly my
phone was being bugged and glitched, and my PC's OS's were being
destroyed, one to two times per week, usually a few minutes after I
posted anything new on the Net, is why I post on this crapper computer
only, reserved for internet, then I immediately pull the net-wire from
the tower, just in case the g'rilla is awake...

And, if my suspicions are right, it's either a bad USB 
port or keyboard that's giving me grief...


If the thing runs 24/7, it's fans are pulling-in a hell of a lot of
dust, especially when the floors are being swept..  Your problem reads
like the CPU's fins and fans are plugged solid with computer killing
sticky dust..  If it ever crashes for seemingly no reason, it definitely
is dust accumulation...  While you're at it, check out the dust in the
kitchen fans, and in the bathroom fans, and change the furnace filter...
 If you're experiencing a lot of dust, you might want to take a couple
of cheapy furnace filters, cut them, and duct tape them into a filter
box for the tower, with a large hole where the fans evacuate the tower,
so to filter the air that gets into your computer...  

Another bad thing for computers is to set them on the bed, so that the
soft plush cloth material blocks the fan vents.. Maybe mfgrs should vent
bedroom notebooks at the sides..?  

As bad, is to drag notebooks across fuzzy bedding.. it will pull-in the
bedding material's lint in a lint-storm, thus seriously plugging fins
and fans in very short order.. 
Makes me wonder, what's the average lifespan of a notebook that spends
most of its life sliding around on a soft fuzzy bed..?  How many months
does it take for the average bedded notebook to nuke its CPU, or its
logic board, and/or its hd..?

I don't know what you're doing to make Fedora fail often enough to worry 
about this, but my experience is very, very different from yours.  The 
last time I did a clean install on my desktop, it was F9 and, except for 
F10 and F15 which I skipped because they seemed flaky, I've used 
preupgrade to go from one to another without any trouble until F16. 
Right up until that upgrade blew up on me my computer was rock solid, 
running 24/7.  And, if my suspicions are right, it's either a bad USB 
port or keyboard that's giving me grief, not the OS, but that's beside

Instead of spending so much time on disaster recovery, you might
