Hi All,

I must apologise for sending the same mail twice, i didn't realise i
was sending out the previous one in html format.
sorry to all.....


Thanks for the tons of advice that were given on my previous posting
"Getting rid of M$".

It' really encouraging to know tt so many ppl r willing to offer a
helping hand. After reading thru the mails, 

i finally pick up the courage to give it a go at Fedora Core
1....(considering the fact that i didn't have the patience to wait
for Core 2 release =P ).

hmm... i must say tt the whole process was quite an experience, after
much sweat, i managed to get my speedtouch USB modem to work under
Fedora.

However, there are some problems which i face still....

1. I kept seeing alot of "usbdevfs_CONTROL failed...."
messages in my kernel log. i wonder y....

2. I decided to update my up2date to the latest version. After doing
that, i always get this error:

Whenever i go to preferences--->themes to change my themes, the
system complains that some error has occur with up2date and then
up2date gets

terminated. Then i was prompt to send a report on the error but i
skipped that part. Anyone ever experiences this?

3. After installing ferdora, i could not run "make xconfig"
and i couldn't find the kernel source file in the
"/usr/src" directory.

Can someone pls give me some advice?

thk,

mickey
