DVD sizes
by Gene C.
I see that the DVD sizes for i386 and x86_64 are different ... very different.
For i386 -- 4.3GB
For x86_64 -- 2.147GB
This does not make sense.
I also see that the SRPMS iso images are all exactly the same size ...
different between i386 and x86_64 but for each architecture it is exactly the
same size.
This is also a littly hard to believe.

Yes, that was the first one.

For the first one:
scontext=system_u:system_r:kernel_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t
tclass=fifo_file
Next one says:
audit (#): avc: denied {read write} for pid=1
exe=/sbin/init path=/dev/initctl dev=hdg9
ino=3763872
scontext, tcontext and tclass are the same as the first audit message
Then it says:
Setting default font (latarcyrheb-sun16): . . . no modules for INPUT
product 11/2/6/56
. . . no modules for INPUT product
. . . no modules for INPUT product
Hmmm . . . just rebooted and got the first two audit messages again then
Setting default font (latarcyrheb-sun16): audit (#): avc: denied
and then the same scontext, tcontext and tclass messages.
There's many more (hundreds? thousands?) but I can copy a few of them down
If they'd help.

Re: FC2 test2 does not boot from CD
by Scott Dowdle
Greetings,
I too can not get the CD to boot... when I have no problem in the past
with booting from various CDs including FC2Test1 and FC1.
I'm running an AMD Athlon 900, 3 IDE hard drives, 1 Philips CD-R, 384MB of
RAM. The CD is set as secondary master.
Wanting to test but can't.
TYL,

RE: FC2 test2 is a BAD joke
by Greg Lehmann
Boots off old hardware for a kickstart. I used a CDRW written under Windows
XP on a DELL OPTIPLEX GX260.
Dell OPTIPLEX Gxa 266 PII booted with some CD drive, possibly the original.
It does seem to be a little slow on the install from NFS mounted drives this
time compared to test1 and FC1. Maybe I am imagining it, I would have to
time it to be sure and I have creamed test1 due to lack of space on the
server.

HP zv5000z AMD64 FC2 Test 2 Install fails
by Brian Stretch
Update:
FC1 AMD64 installs on this HP zv5000z Athlon 64 nForce3 chipset
notebook so long as I use idle=poll. However, FC2 Test 2, attempted
via boot CD and local NFS server with the four binary CD images,
says "no valid devices were found on which to create new file systems"
after I select manual partitioning with Disk Druid. Then it reboots.
I tried acpi=off selinux=0 just for laughs, no diff. Anyone have any
ideas before I bugzilla this?
It can't detect the "mouse" either, which is an ALPS keypad, and I
didn't see an option to manually select it like I could with FC1.

RPM tree as torrent?
by Ravi Shekhar
Hi,
I don't know if I'm the only one, but I much prefer to download the
/i386/os directory and set up a local mirror to do an FTP install.
Bittorrent can handle multiple files easily, and it seems like it would
take some load off the servers. I don't mind seeding it as soon as I'm
done, I'm on a university T3 line. But at the current rate, it will take
6 hours for me to get directory from ibiblio. I haven't found a faster
mirror. They're all overloaded.

fedora.us FC2 test2 1.91 repository status
by Warren Togami
http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraMirrorList
1.91 has been added to the fedora.us repository mirrors. Please DO NOT
USE THE MAIN MIRROR, choose a nearer mirror from the list above. The
current 1.90 tree will disappear REAL SOON NOW so update your apt/yum
configurations.
fedora.us apt and yum for 1.91 is not yet ready, so for now you will
need to copy the old 1.90 version and edit the configs. It still seems
to be binary compatible for now. However we have no idea if apt will
work with selinux enforcement enabled.
The "yum" directory tree within the 1.91 directory has been removed
entirely and instead yum headers are being generated within each RPMS
directory.
Be warned that upgrading from FC2 test1 to test2 using apt/yum will not
result in a system fully representative of test2 due to selinux not
being enabled and filesystem not labeled. You should either use the
test2 Anaconda installer or figure out the manual labeling procedure
(where is the URL for that?).

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem (as I posted yesterday) and I tried
these changes as well, with no luck :-(
When I run "cat /proc/fs/nfs/exports" i get this:
/home client1(rw,root_squash,sync,wdelay)
/home client2(rw,root_squash,sync,wdelay)
/usr/local/share
192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,root_squash,sync,wdelay)
But my /etc/exports says:
/usr/local/share 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(sync,rw)
/home 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(sync,rw)
This seems to be out of sync?! Even the restart of the nfs service or
running "exportfs -a" is not changing this.
Could this deal with the problem?

Chris

Yes, I understood what you were saying the first time around.
I tried removing the /usr/lib/python-2.2 libraries, and reinstalling,
and it just rebuilt them. So I did what you suggested here, moved the
stuff from 2.2 -> 2.3 and its working fine.
Thanks.
