I download the list, and I have all the messages. My error was to not
read and think before to made an upgrade.
I'm sorry for that, but I experienced problems upgrading from fc3 to 4,
from 4 to 5, from 5 to 6, from 6 to 7 and from 8 to 9.
This is known, but the hope....

I think this is not an excuse.

hmmm experimental... I never thought fedora as experimental.
I had a very good experience with all fedora release, sometimes using
unofficial repos like livna or freshrpms.
Maybe I made a mistake using the mailing list as a bug report and a
solution dispenser.
I have to start use the right instruments, and also to help this distro
(for example like I do with OOo), and if other people act in this way,
maybe Fedora developers can gain time to develope better.

One example is my external usb problem.
Or the mic that can't record so I can't use any voip software.
All problems that are not simple to solve, and not simple to undersand
why.
