    did not realize it supported other than RH releases.

    Good, thank you. I guess I was a bit tired and overwhelmed by the changes and
    how they will impact my activities over the next 18 months. Hit the panic

    Your comments are consistent with the follow-up message by Jef Spaleta

    http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2003-September/msg00388.html

    BTW, Jef was a bit miffed about my cross-posting to two other groups about
    this issue. It was not my intent to offend anyone, as can be read at

    http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2003-September/msg00396.html

    Michael Schwendt also added some insight to the discussion.

    Thanks to all for your patience.
