Is any one running F7 on a mother board with a Nvidia NF6100-405 Chip set?
I still haven't got the sound working. I'm going to have to give up on F7 as 
with every update things seem to be getting worse and I don't have the time 
to persevere with it. In the last week Kmail has started to crash, any mail I 
send is disappearing, yum is freezing halfway through updates and Kyum is 
giving error messages, I'm not sure weather to use FC6 or give CenOS a try, 
as I would still like to use a RH based distribution. How much longer will 
FC6 be supported for?
