Why can only root mount zip, floppy, cd-rom drives?
by Gerry Tool
I just made a fresh installation of FC3T2 Personal Desktop and installed
all available updates.
Unlike a previous install of FC3T2, I cannot mount any of these drives.
What is the cause and how does a user get to mount them now?
Thanks.

Recent Documents refresh problem
by John MacLean
Hi,
Having a problem with the Recent Documents off the main menu.
Using gedit, OO.org apps, and whatnot update ~/.recently-used in a
timely manner. However the 'Recent Documents' doesn't get updated
(present test at 20 minutes).
Running the file browser seems to trigger an immediate update.
Selecting 'Clear Recent Documents' sets ~/.recently-used to 0 bytes but
the menu not updated. Again the file browser triggers an update.
What component would I bugzilla this against?

Didn't get answer
by Andrius
Hello,
I didn't get answer to my question. Is it problem unclear or unknown? In installation process of Fedora Core 3 test 2 for AMD64 I got such bug message "Bug: Assertion (heads > 0) at disk_dos.c:471 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed." (after keyboard configuration). If I press cancel I can go through other steps, but when I got the same message when it is time to copy packages to disk and installation stops.

xorg-x11
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Is it me, my machine or xorg-x11 which is up the wall?
I can get to gdm, login and then nothing. Very little HD activity, it
just sits there.
I'm going back to the last version, but I'm having to use nodeps as well
as oldpackage :-(

Re: yum not updating fc3t1 to fc3t2
by Wood David
Already running this as su. Tried using up2date instead, but got a
dependency conflict with the x11-base-fonts (as it's gone in fc3t2).
