Good point. But pointing to a FAQ in an email is pretty easy, vs.
looking up a reference to a particular thread in an archive and then
pointing to that.

I agree that is a 'NVidia problem', but since it's a Frequently Asked
Question on the fedora mailing list it should probably be in a Fedora
Core 1 FAQ page somewhere.

I did find the fedora FAQ (http://fedora.redhat.com/about/faq/), but
it's a FAQ about the fedora project. I am thinking more along the lines
of a FAQ for each release.

For now I think I'm going to start an Unofficial Fedora Core 1 FAQ. I'll
post additional info later when I have it started.
