[sllug-members]: Fedora Core install problems

[Allen Parker]

Sorry for double posting, if you've got long distance, I'll offer
hands on help with diagnostics for free, just to meet another tech in
this area (i'm new here).

(and i'm up odd hours, so call anytime, if i'm sleeping, i'll try to
return the call whenever I wake up or within normal business hours
unless specific instructions are left in my voicemail)

I'd show off my resume, but I've been so busy with work lately (and a
hardware deployment to toronto, canada this month) that i've not had a
chance to get apache working bug-free on one of my personal dedicated
boxes.

You may also feel free to mail me off-list if that's preferred.
