I used the 855wrap (as againse patch) on a D505 there recently...

you have to make sure that you run it before X starts, which is a
pain on FC as it starts X diring rc.sysinit[0] so You need to add
a call to 855wrap before that, but then rc.sysinit gets overwritten
with a yum upgrade... *sigh*


[0]. yes I can turn it off but hey... :)

were special, and we knew he'd be there for us.
A cult leader, right down to the sneakers.
