Multiple card USB card-readers?
by Kyrre Ness Sjobak
After playing around with hal and usb automounting, a guy at RH named
David Zeuthen fixed it. Good job! (And that goes to everybody else
involved in pumping out the fedora releases - they are relly great! Good
job!)
But there is another thing i wonder if will be fixed in fc3 - mounting
of USB mass storage multiple card cardreaders. I guess i mean those who
use multiple LUNS...
Will those nifty little devices be supported for FC3? If not - why?
Anything i can do to help?

That's a common problem when adding hdd's with other fedora installs.
How about generating a random integer at install time, and use it to
label partitions like
/_5643
/home_5643
/boot_5643
...
and reference these in fstab / grub.conf? Could this create problems?

[bugweek] A script to detect -mtune=i386 libraries
by Arjan van de Ven
Hi,
in theory we compile all of fedora core with -mtune=i686 (or
-mtune=pentium4 nowadays). however that only actually happens if
packages propagate the RPM_OPT_FLAGS into the CFLAGS properly; almost
all but not quite not all packages actually do this.
The script at
can be used to check if a shared libary is compiled with -mtune=i386 or
-mtune=i686. If it detects i386 then most likely there is a packaging
bug with not propagating the compiler flags properly.
Usage is like this:
objdump -d sharelibraryfilename.so | perl detecti686.pl
known bugs:
If a shared library is really small with say only 1 function, it is
possible that the heuristics fail.
Greetings,
Arjan van de Ven

FC3 and printing from Mozilla
by Kyrre Ness Sjobak
Will there be a real print dialog (one which do allow you to select
printers) in FC3? - it is no such thing (as far as i can see - i havent
ran yum update due to that i am on an ISDN dialup, and the volume is...
enormous) in test 2, but ive heard some rumours of it in desktop-list.
Not having support for multiple printers (unless you know the syntax of
lpr) is really a huge handicap for end-user-friendlyness IMO

Maching paper size with locale
by Kyrre Ness Sjobak
Just being curious - why is not the default paper size matched with what
is most common in the country you select in timezone setup? Ex. in
Norway, Letter is something only known from the "select paper size" in
printer drivers - A4 is the _only_ format used. And as default paper
setting in many programs - such as firefox - while ex. OpenOffice uses
A4. Why is there no common setting of this - one file where all programs
read what the standard papersize/orientation etc should be?
Having it wrong is bad, but inconsistent is almost worse...
