Firefox etc. default homepage
by Kyrre Ness Sjobak
Today we use the release notes as standard homepage for all browsers,
instead of whatever is upstream default. Why do we do that, while
constantly repeating the mantra "upstream!, upstream!, upstream!"?
In my personal opinion, the release notes belong in "help" or something
like that (even a shortcut on the standard desktop would be more
intuitive) - not as the standard homepage in every browser.
This confuses people, and addmitedly, the release notes aren't that much
usefull to the users as the standard homepage - especially in firefox,
where the standard is:
http://www.google.no/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:nb-NO:official
which is simply a google search with some hints on using firefox etc.

Dell/Adaptec Raid Controller(aacraid)
by Sean Bruno
I have been screaming at Dell Tech Support over the last couple of weeks
trying to get them to at least acknowledge that there is a re-occuring
problem with their raid controller on the Poweredge 2650(they call the
adaptec controller a 3D/i).
We are running AS 3(R4) and Dell TS told us to not use the v1.1.5 of the
aacraid driver, but to use their driver(v1.1.4 based, but really a
completely different version).
I have been trying to get them to contact Red Hat, or the upstream
kernel maintainers for the module, but they(Dell) are being kind of "We
don't make these any more, go away!"
Here is the link to the Dell v1.1.4 driver and their "dkms" system
(glorified make).
http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&cs=555&l=en&...
How do I propose a merge between the Dell v1.1.4 and the current v1.1.5
of the aacraid module in the 2.4 kernel?

My firewall works just fine.
The thing is that I am, of course, ignorant about IPv6. But this
"I heard ... real firewall" kind of thing is really very silly.
Why don't you write specifically what functionality is missing?

initng
by Greg Martyn
Hi all,
I was just wondering if this dovetails with some of the early-login stuff that
has been discussed on this list. It was written with gentoo in mind though..
"Jimmy Wennlund wrote initng, a replacement for the Sys-V style "init"
application. It allows for better service dependency checking and will start
services in a highly parallel fashion, dramatically speeding up the Linux
boot process."

Standard yum configuration
by Kyrre Ness Sjobak
Some questions about the standard yum config:
- Will the fedora/fedora-extras gpgkeys be added by default, or could
the yum error message at least give some hints how to install them?
Could it even ask "%s gpgkey not installed, would you like to install
them now? [y/N]" like up2date? I think you must thrust RH anyway, as you
allready has installed the whole OS packaged and signed by them...
- Will fedora-extras.repo be included in /etc/yum.repos.d/ by default?
Will it be enabled by default?
- Will pup be installed by default? What will happen to up2date?

FC4 and kernel 2.6.12
by Trever L. Adams
I am well aware we are getting late in the game. However, I have heard
that real firewalling for IPv6 is in the pre series for 2.6.12. Is there
anyway we can get this into FC4? This is not some trivial thing. It is
something that has been needed for some time.
