Okay, that's great - I'll post an update when I understand the process
more. I have here a freshly installed F13 system; how am I supposed to
enable Fusion on it? The download page gives me options for '10, 11 and
12' or 'Fedora Alpha, Beta, Preview, Rawhide, RC, Snapshot aka. what
will become Fedora 13' (which seems to link to a 'rawhide' package);
there should be separate links for Rawhide and 'Alpha, Beta, Preview,
RC' etc. Should I use the 'rawhide' link? Is there no easy way to set it
up?
