So if I have an elaborate /etc/sysconfig/iptables file

Then the bug should be moved to grub2, because it sure is a bug.

My problems came way before partitioning. It simply couldn't

command line. Wit
Unlike the Alpha DVD iso, I was able to install f17

This bug casually mentions that an app (swell-foop) menu has
moved from the app itself to the gnome-shell panel:
