AW: FC5 Installation turned out to be a disaster

[Andreas Wahlert]

Many people do a great Job for us to make Fedora usable. Most of these
people don't earn any money for this job!

You can download the whole distro for nothing.

Fedora is a great collection of linux packages improved with many many
features. None of the distros is perfect, but we all have to work on
this big ambition.  We use fedora to work with it and/or to have fun
with it.

Keep this in mind! Anytime!




kind regards from germany


Andreas

Don't expect every Linux user to have your technical skills. Intelligent

people I know, teachers on a mission, would have great difficulty 
sorting out these problems.
