Big smiles(s) go here.

Seriously? IMHO. Some times the ego(s) of the responder(s) gets in the
way of the simple needs of the OP.

As a n example? "My car won't start" and then turn that into a complete
conversation of how to disassemble this car, reassemble it, with several
'what the heck is that stuff items added' and when that does not/might
not work it then becomes a "try this' or 'try that' situation. I really
dislike 'try this - in *might* work' suggestions.

Long distance help and 'I can't touch your machine' help can be hard.
What bothers me is the geeks fighing amonst them selves.

And that simple statement will probably start the next $hit$storm for
me.  :-)

You have a good day. And from me at least, welcome back to Fedora.
