F8? Well actually Rawhide. Which is F8+ and TB 2.0.0.9. It works just
fine. It also works in Windows XP Pro with TB 2.0.0.9. I can't say for
Mac. Don't own one of those.

If you are using a Fedora 8 that is up-to-date you should have TB
2.0.0.9 also.

Hmmm...  you didn't copy any of this from another install did you?
