Firstly Kevin, please do not post in HTML to any mailing list, it isn't
necessary and only serves to bloat the messages in a negative way. You
would have seen by now most people post in plain text - there is a

Secondly, please have a read at www.fedorafaq.org.
See number 4 under "Problems and their solutions".
Regards,
Ed.
