as I said, it's a ever shrinking list, but last I heard the security changes cascaded to other issues, and there were journal related issues. in broad strokes things worked, but not completely. it may be that when I wasn't looking the last of the issues got resolved. If this is the case then it should be possible (on a high enough power laptop) to get an experiance exactly the same as on the XO with Sugar on top of Fedora Is this the case? _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
