diskboot.img Documentation problems
by Jerry Williams
Not sure if this is really the right group to post this to.
The docs need more work and maybe some packages need some changes as well.
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/install-guide/fc6/en/sn-preparing-usb-media.ht
ml
I would suggest changing anaconda-runtime
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime-mk-images.x86 to change the README that goes into
/images/README to have a link to the installation guide.
The installation guide really isn't correct when it comes to using the
diskboot.img file. Should almost include
/usr/share/doc/syslinux-3.31/README.usbkey in the installation guide.
It might have worked fine for a floppy, but the usb device has a partition
table and the image doesn't include the partition table, just a file system.
So to use the command dd if=diskboot.img of=/dev/sdd is not correct.
WARNING!!! WARNING!!! Be very careful using these commands!
You could erase your hard drive!
You need to use dmesg to find out what the name of your usb device is.
I am using /dev/sdd which might cause problems it that is not your usb
device or is your normal hard drive device name.
The instructions I have seen look something like:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd
/usr/lib/syslinux/mkdiskimage -4 /dev/sdd 0 64 32
which creates the /dev/sdd4 partition
Then dd if=diskboot.img of=/dev/sdd4 works fine.
Or
/usr/lib/syslinux/mkdiskimage /dev/sdd 0 64 32
dd if=diskboot.img of=/dev/sdd1
The problem that I see is that if you have a large usb device it can take a
long time to write zeros over the whole thing and then format the whole
thing just to turn around and write a small file system over it.
This is where the small 16MB flash card that came with your camera is a good
thing to use in a usb adaptor. :)
If all that needs to happen is to wipe out the partition table on the drive
then dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd count=1 works fine.
You should look at /usr/share/doc/syslinux-3.31 to help figure out the
numbers for mkdiskimage if you have a large usb flash drive.
/usr/lib/syslinux/mkdiskimage /dev/sdd 13 64 32 is much quicker and has
enough room for diskboot.img image. But may not work on all devices.
I had problems with a 1GB device.

expat 2.0 ?
by Michel Salim
Hi,
I noticed when trying out the pre-built binaries for Chandler that
Fedora still ships expat-1.95.8, while 2.0.0 has been out since
January 2006. Is there a reason for this? I could not find any mention
of this in the mailing list archive, but I apologise if this has been
discussed before.
On a slightly unrelated note, FLAC has also not been updated (bz #222946)
Regards,

images and isolinux directories
by Jerry Williams
I have searched and searched and there is a lot of noise on the internet
about pieces and parts about the files in theses directories.
I have found short how to's on how to change them some.
But I have yet to find how and from what they are created in the first
place.
Normal rpm's have src.rpm's
Is there a src.rpm for these?
Is there documentation on how to create them?
Please point me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Rawhide installable via NFS
by Mike Chambers
I keep getting "server can't mount that directory" or something like
that when I put in the server/dir names.
And if it's not installable that way, can it be done via ftp/http at
least?
I don't think I've been able to do a rawhide install for a month or two.

Gaim with bonjour plugin?
by Yuan Yijun
Hi,
Since gaim-2.0.0beta6 is out and official download @ sf.net provides
gaim-bonjour rpm (fc5 only?), is it good enough to be enabled by
default in fedora? Thanks!

Fedora Tracker is in need of a new home
by Brad Smith
Hello all,
Since its creation, I have used the same $10/mo web host for Fedora
Tracker. However, as the number of repositories indexed has grown, the
update process has begun to involve longer and longer periods of
nontrivial memory and cpu usage, which my hosting company can no
longer justify devoting to a single customer.
Does anyone have server space they would be willing to donate to
Fedora Tracker? Requirements would be MySQL 5.x and Python >= 2.4,
plus shell access for me. sudo privs would be helpful but are not
necessary.
Any takers?
