Well, I could say the same, but this problem is an order of magnitude
more complicated than anything I have experienced using Fedora in 8+
years, is that chicken little?. Although some of the other responses
have made clear that some important underlying changes have been made
Fedora 14 -> 15, and any one of these could be the cause of my problem.
Therefore I cautiously recommend a fresh install of Fedora 15, rather
than trying a yum update, (which was my original warning), and this
makes updating my laptop a much more time consuming process. Your name
calling, whether it be Chicken Little, Hysteria, or whatever, certainly
doesn't help, or inspire confidence. Especially as you may well find
yourself with a similar order of magnitude type problem, and face
similar responses.
