Am I the only one who finds this very frustration. To look at CNN news
you need one secret and FoxNews another secret, This does not speak well
for FC6 being a stable useful distribution. I know it is not supposed to
be. But there are limits it seems to me of how screwy even a Fedora
distribution is before it is worth releasing. And FC6 is the worst yet.
My FC4 and I assume my FC5 system can do both CNN news and FoxNews.
