It is a good point. I would like to be able to give some more details |
| 31 |
other than when I try to download a file in Firefox or Seamonkey, I get |
| 32 |
a kernel panic. That's not really a lot of info to give them and I'm |
| 33 |
not sure what they could do with the little info. Since it is using the |
| 34 |
network, is it a nic driver? Is it a problem with the video drivers |
| 35 |
since it is sometimes opening/closing a new window when it does it too? |
| 36 |
Could it be something totally unrelated to those two? |
| 37 |

I don't mind filing bug reports but I like to be able to say more than |
| 39 |
it is broke. ;-) I'm thinking about taking a nic out of my old machine |
| 40 |
and putting in here. That would narrow that down at least. |

You are right, this is not like Linux. It is rare that I have any sort |
| 43 |
of trouble like this. I guess hal and xorg was the worst so far. At |
| 44 |
least right now my keyboard and mouse are working. lol |
