Rawhide is just the first step in testing. The way I think of it is
that rawhide is alpha testing for the next release. Updates-testing
is alpha test for the current release. The current release of Fedora
is beta testing. The finished product is the Redhat Enterprise
Edition and its derivatives are the finished produce.

You need to pick better subjects - I already deleted that thread as
not being something I was interested in. So I don't know what you
are talking about. Did it stick to one topic, or was it a long
rambling rant where the actual problem was only a small part of it?

I probably haven't seen the problem, what ever it is, because I do
no run a stock grub.conf - I happen to like to see system messages
instead of a fancy boot screen. But I also like to see the POST
messages from the BIOS, while the current trend seams to be to cover
those up too.
