Ah, the machine I searched with is Fedora 28... I see it doing 'dnf 
search' on the newer 29 machine.

Oh, I wasn't paying attention so much to that. Didn't see anything that 
looked like an error (probably walked away while it was going). I'll try 
that again. May be a day or two.

On the stackup and the file I sent, I've pretty much gone with out of the 
box defaults, and never really looked at the prefs/layers/groups thing 
before my problem started. Not sure what best practice is, but it sounds 
like trying pcb-rnd will make that more clear.

Thanks again for all the help! And checking out my file...

Cheers,
C
