Can't comment on those posts. Haven't read them. Can't find them in
the archives when searching for "Gene Heskett".

Several messages about F10, nothing about F11. Ranting about the
openssl issue without any comment on the relevant bugzilla ticket
that tracks the issue.

December

No specific thread about Fedora 12 performance problems.
A couple of replies to other threads. Is it in any of those replies?
GRUB chainload config problems. Then the F10 grub2 bitching thread.

Side-note about your "Booting sparkly new F12 install, error 13 from
grub." thread.  The partitioning details are confusing, contradictory,
inaccurate and incomplete. First impression is that you misconfigured the
grub.conf completely. The post is long, but missing the most important
step. To accurately collect the configuration details _prior to_ jumping
to wild conclusions. I would have asked a couple of questions in thread
thread, in particular because error 13 is explained in the manual.

What is the ticket number in bugzilla?

You started one of your recent posts with "This should be bugzilla'd",
but you didn't report the problem in bugzilla, did you?

I looked up http://bugz.fedoraproject.org/grub2 for the list of open
tickets, and the "Report..." link there is a very convenient way to
jump into bugzilla.

With all due respect, is that the best you have to offer? To bitch'n'moan
and to demonstrate ignorance?
