Honestly, we may consider doing the same thing as Debian guys, to show
our support and to prevent future possibility of a similar situation,
in case/when MozCo decides to change their marketing rules again.
Besides, it is my understanding (from reading the Debian bug
discussion and generally from being roommates with the Debian Firefox
maintainer in question), that MozCo is enforcing the "if you use the
name, you must use the logo" rule. In theory, since the logo is
copyrighted (and not sensibly licensed), Fedora should NOT be able to
use the name with a generic logo, unless Red Hat has an agreement with
MozCo about this specific case. Even in the case when such agreement
exists, it's still not acceptable, because it interferes with any
third-party repackaging of the Fedora tree. This restriction is
already true for current releases of Fedora.
If Red Hat and Debian both pick a name for a non-restricted version of
Firefox, then that would help lessen the potential confusion. It would
suck if every distro has Firefox under a different name. If someone
wants to cooperate with the Debian Firefox maintainer, he's open to
such dialogue with Red Hat/Fedora (FESCO?). Interested parties may get
in touch with him via eric(a)debian.org (he's cc'd on this message).
I think "IceWeasel" is very silly and creates unnecessary tension with
upstream, but "Freefox" sounds like a winner, unless it is decided by
IAALs that it's too close to "Firefox" and thus can be found
infringing.
It's definitely late for such change to happen in the FC6 timeframe,
but we have to look further, and if we are to stick to the motto of
providing a distribution that is "free to infinity," then we can't
continue to ship Firefox under the name that limits what we can and
cannot do with the software.

As others have pointed out, chances are your /boot (and any other
similar small sized partitions) will be 1k. Asides from this,
unless you manually created a filesystem by hand with custom options
to mkfs, you should have 4K block sizes.

Re: Another slip in the FC6 schedule
by Alfredo Ferrari
You are right, but when you have to deal with 50+ machines you tend to
automatize updates for obvious reasons.
Further, no warning has been issued, I just saw the thread by chance.
Even on my personal machines where I do things by hand, I downloaded the
new kernels yesterday, rebuilt them with some extra patches (ntfs,
initrd dsdt for my buggy laptop etc), installed them together with the old
one, tested for one day (they are under heavy load anyway), tested
also (and built the drivers for) hardware acceleration, wireless, dumb
Conexant modem etc etc. and eventually I deinstalled the old kernel just
before reading that message.
It is not a big deal to reinstall the previous kernel on those machines,
crossing fingers that nothing happened to the 1k partitions,
much tougher on the cluster, but I really miss the rationale of having a
kernel update in those conditions (the bug was know as far as I
understand).

FC6 Slip - any plans to fix IPv6?
by Michael H. Warfield
Hey all,
I just did a fresh network install of FC6 from rawhide and it is still
creating busted firewall rules for IPv6. If this isn't fixed during the
release slip, FC6 will release with a totally disfunctional IPv6 stack
due to those broken firewall rules. I understand that the kernel
features being referenced are experimental and are not even enabled in
the shipping kernel. So we should be generating ANY rules with "--m
state" in them for IPv6 because they will not work. The present
configuration has to change so that ip6tables is not attempting to use
features that are not even enabled in the shipping kernel or the IPv6
networking code will not function at all, as all packets are being
blocked.
Mike

Re: xorg-x11-drv-1.4.2-2.1.fc6 in FC6
by Otto Rey
In FC5:
- some time ago (not tested recently): with Intel video + open source driver, if i set color depth to 24 bits, have the same issue.
- recently: with Nvidia video + Nvidia 9xxx beta propietary driver if i set color depth to 24 bits, have the same issue
Hope that helps.

Manually hacking up the modelines in the Xorg.conf gave me a better
resolution, and it's usable - but now I have a problem where if I
Ctrl-Alt-F1 through F6 to the virtual terminals, they switch fine, but
on switching back to Ctrl-Alt-F7 I get into a hosed text mode that I
can't get out of.
Is anyone else testing this package? Is it just my system that's hosed?
