Funny, my browser thinks <200804181025.49438.lostson at lostsonsvault.org> 
is the first mail in the thread. It isn't even yours! The first post 
from you was <4808CFD2.1050805 at fedoraproject.org> which also contains no 
technical detail, just a link to a list of things which someone (again 
not you) thinks could be improved and a suggestion ("why do we need this 
in the default install?") that it not be run by default.

Taking out something because it isn't perfect is like shooting your 
seeing eye dog because he has a sore paw. You avoid having to fix the 
problem but are left in the dark. The administration tool (in alpha) did 
not seem to want to marked the default card, and after each boot used 
whatever looks like a sound card on an HDTV Wonder. Probably because the 
modprobe doesn't seem to set card numbers, or ???

When I finish evaluating ubuntu if FC9 final is out I'll try the process 
again.
