| Where is _the_ HCL for Fedora-8?

| As far as I can see, the HCL you are advising people to consult
| does not actually exist:
| "This page does not exist yet".
| The only reference I could find to "Fedora HCL"
| said it had not been updated since 2005,

Found by entering   Linux hardware compatibility list   in Google. First
hit on the page. It took about 10 seconds. Tops.
