[K12OSN] speaking of DRBL...

[William Fragakis]

And I thought it was something I was doing that kept my Atoms from fully
booting. Went nuts for a couple of months trying all sorts of things
before I had to back burner the project. I could get the LiveCD to run
fine but I wanted a Fedora desktop for a number of reasons.

Thanks,
William
