Certainly, it's your understanding of the matter. :) > Unfortunately those module options are currently not being honored (bug > already opened).

Posing as a network expert, it seems you don't understand such a simple instruction. :) > About binaries requiring ipv6, that's like expecting a package that > needs a database to create the database as part of its install.

Are you a representative of the majority of users? :) BTW, I recommend this issue to present to 'fedora-devel', otherwise people will take all of this as a good joke. :) poma -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
