Looks nice! :D
Really cool - only prob. as far as i can se is that they migth be a bit
"fancy" beckause of huge contrasts and bright colours - ie. distracting
etc. But my vote is to include them - but not as default!
Good job.

KDE locking up
by Sean Plantz
First off, I have had troubles locking up all through the install
process as well, only way I could complete that is text mode install
for the first part (package install partitioning and boot loader
config) and using skipddc as a kernel option at grub before the
finalization of settings part. after that it brings me to the login
screen, I enter my info, and it boots KDE, (same thing happens with
Gnome btw) once the kde loader screen dissappears, the mouse still
moves but nothing responds when I click. just locks up the second kde
is done loading.. I have a Geforce 5200fx sound card, a AMD athlon xp,
and 1gb of ram which came out clean in memtest86, SuSe linux does the
same exact thing as well, but no other distro does (eg mandrake,
knoppix, slackware etc..) are there any options im missing, or known
issues of the same type? thanks in advance

CVS snapshot RPMs for Fedore Core 2
by Kristian Høgsberg
Hi,
I have put together a set of RPMs for Xorg CVS as of August 5 in
http://freedesktop.org/~krh
In other words, these RPMs have the new set of extensions, but also a
set of known bugs (see #351). These aren't official Red Hat RPMs and
they are only available for i386. Fedora Development will soon have
official RPMs for other architectures, but for now these packages should
make more widespread testing easier.
Use the standard bugzilla.freedesktop.org for reporting bugs against
these packages, and please Cc me (bugzilla account: krh(a)bitplanet.net)
on bugs filed against them. Also, remember to check that the bug you
are reporting is not already in bugzilla.
Have fun,
Kristian

wallpapers cont.
by Bart Kalita
Well,
here we go.
4 wallpapers for you to look at and hopefully give me some feedback.
2 unnamed ones are unfinished but show the idea that I would like to
pursue.
other 2 are just 1280x1024 updates to ones I've shown before.
Please drop me a line if you find them at least interesting and what you
think about the "3"
I still hope that there is somebody from redhat that monitors this group
and has access to proper FC3 logos + would not mind sharing them with
the group ... i.e me.
www.bart-domain.com/fedora/
links to full images are via the scaled ones.
enjoy

Sigh... Oh how i can't wait to reinstall al the f*ing machines... I want
to sing a song. :D
That means - personaly: Ill loooove to see fc3 coming. But i don't do
that at school. :D
But how does KDE/opera/gedit do it in fc2 then?

But gedit has a "select printer" iface, rigth? Anyway, is there ANY
chance at all for this to make it into FC2? I really can wait to
reinstall the machines at school...

To the guy who asked about autologin as root:
1. DO NOT SEND HTML MAIL to a mailing-list - doing so will:
- get your (HTML-part-of-the) message scrubbed - which means deleted
- for all users using digest mode. I (and probably many others didn't
bother to read your mail at all - only the title...)
- Generally get people anoyed at you
=> not a good way to get help
2. This should probably be asked at fedora-list, not here
3. GDM autologin of root is not possible for security reasons. Go
hack'ing (no, not crack. hack the code if you want it badly)
4. You should not use the root-account on a daily basis (not even i
winblows - it makes you more volunerable to viruses etc). Go make
yourself a real USER account - and then use "su -" to get root when
needed.
5. You probably knew this - but rh9 is old and not as "gut geignet" for
newbies (why do i think you are a newbie? Hmm...)
6. Welcome to the world of Linux. Enjoy your stay. And you probably made
all the worst mailing-list mistakes (exept using "HEEELP!!!!" as
subject), so your will probably have very few problems from now on.

Looks nice. Will this be in both moz and epiphany? You say it is in
Rawhide, can you please give me an URL for the RPM, so that I may
download it? If all works well, then I am considering to install this on
all the FC2 machines at the school i administer, and switch to epiphany
as default browser.
