tip: found a flash drive for direct install

2018-08-31 Thread ToddAndMargo
Hi All, I finally found a flash drive I like for installing Fedora directly (not live). Flash drives break down when a lot of small files go fly around and bog the OS down and often corrupt. I have had issues with both Kanguru and Kingston drives. I also test a Patriot drive. They goof

Startup messages shown twice on EFI boot

2018-08-31 Thread Richard Shaw
For some time now (i.e. multiple Fedora releases) I've noticed that on two of my laptops that use EFI instead of BIOS booting, all of the startup lines from SystemD are shown twice. No big issue but o a whim I decided to google the problem and couldn't find much. I can't be the only person that's
