+	<para>
+	  Fedora provides legacy system libraries for compatibility
+	  with older software. This software is part of the
+	  <code>Legacy Software Development</code> group, which is not
+	  installed by default. Users who require this functionality
+	  may select this group either during installation or after
+	  the installation process is complete. To install the package
+	  group on a Fedora system, use <command>Applications >
+	  Add/Remove Software</command> or enter the following command
+	  in a terminal window:
+	  <screen>
+	    su -c 'yum groupinstall "Legacy Software Development"'
+	  </screen>
+	  Enter the password for the <code>root</code> account when prompted.

+      <listitem>
+	<para>
+	  Previous releases of Fedora shipped with a security policy
+	  for the DBus system bus that was unintentionally permissive
+	  (see CVE-2008-4311). In Fedora 11, the policy has been
+	  changed to deny method calls by default.
