[NCLUG] Oops

[Bonnell Frost]

I'll try this again.  First time I posted it, I thought I was set up to 
post, did not go through.

Just a small note: Updates from Fedora 18 DON'T WORK.  Both published 
update sequences, su -c 'yum update' and fedup -network 18, hang looking 
for libusb1.  I posted this;
so far no response.
