Stock kernels
by Maynard Kuona
Is ther any chance RHL could include stock kernel rpms for the guys who
would like to run something different, or customize it as much as
possible.
It doesn't have to be offered for installation, or it could be just the
source rpms, from which we could then compile and make binary packages.
redhat could also include their own spec with it so that it is less of a
hassle to compile and install. It could just be dropped into an 'extras'
folder where those who feel so inclined could install it from. It
shouldn't be too much to ask IMHO.

I had the same problem with the test kernel 2.6.0, I did what Jeff
recommended and now rpm works again.

gnome panel (Bug # 102530) & Bug # 102533
by Elton Woo
The update of gnome-panel-2.3.6.2-2.i386 from rawhide trashes the
floating panel so seriously that now there is no other way to logout
of the Gnome desktop other than CTRL-ALT-BKSP.
See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=102530
SUMMARY:
upgrading to gnome-panel-2.3.6.2-2.i386 from rawhide "kills" default.
That said, I've decided to use good ol' KDE as my default desktop.
However, I can't add any startup programs to the KDE session.
Anyone care to comment on this?
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=102533
SUMMARY:
unable to add startup programs in KDE
I guess the only solution to the various problems now present, would
be to do a clean re-install of the Severn beta 1, but since beta 2 is
supposed to be out shortly, I guess I'll wait for *that*.
... not up to much "hoop jumping" at the moment :-(

Okay how exactly do you change that setting?

Sehll environment, usually invoking as

to disable new-fangledness.

Re: Minimal Install Option

Wouldn't it be great if anaconda had exactly the right pre-defined
settings for every person's personal tastes as to what a "minimal"
install means.
Maybe there is room to discuss what a "sane" minimal install should
include if the ~460Meg minimal isn't the correct balance...but asking
for yet another possible install selection inside anaconda that serves
0.1% of the userbase is pushing it. Especially if the idea going forward
really is to throw a chunk of the installer functionality that is now in
anaconda over the fence to a 2nd stage first boot portion of an
install...a 2nd stage that would be far more capable of customized
scripting and tweaking than the 1st stage iso ramdisk. See earlier
threads on this list from last month: "custom package selection" and
"Bring back configurability in expert mode". I think the current
anaconda package maintainer has some particular ideas as to where the
installer is going....and I dare say its NOT going in the direction of
more options for the 1st stage ramdisk based portion of the install. If
the current minimal install option can be "sanely" made smaller for the
benefit of a "significant" number of users..I'm sure some discussion and
bugreports as to what can be removed from the current minimal install
would be welcomed for evaluation. Though bribing developers with pizza
and beer is always a good plan B.

RE: RPM broken when 2.6.0 test kernel installed?
by Glen Maeding
The reason why im asking how to fix this is i cannot 'rpm -e' this kernel. This makes it very difficult to undo the benign damage i did to my laptop heh. Dont get me wrong, I am pleased with the kernel i have installed, but what happens when a new kernel test version comes out in rpm? Ack...
