Hmmm ... since I have not had FC3 for a while, I would have to poke through
my message archives to see what version(s) were affected.  If it is
important for you to know, I will be more than happy to search.

A purist all the way?  However it is interesting to note that if that were
the case, wouldn't you be running just the kernel?  After all, that is the
only thing that is purely Linux. :P

Sorry, couldn't resist. :)
