SELINUX attack - turn it off!
by Neal Becker
After updating everything (except yum) last night, I can no longer boot.
There are messages about selinux starting, then almost everything fails
because of selinux. Even init cannot write. Sorry no log, syslog is not
allowed to write to disk.
I can boot single user. How can I turn this off?

Eject disc not automatic?
by Colin Charles
OK, I'll be honest, I can't quite remember if this was done before or
not (and I don't have any other spare boxes to test it on).[1]
During the installation of FC2 test1, when its time to change discs, I
noticed that it didn't eject the CDROM automatically - I actually had to
push the eject button.
If it used to be automatic, this is a bug (and I'll file it). If it
wasn't, it might be a nice feature to have (and I'll file an RFE).
Test machine - IBM Thinkpad T20, with the DVD-ROM drive. Performed an
upgrade install from FC1 (updates-testing).
Thanks.
[1] - I installed Yellow Dog Linux (so I could use Fedora PPC stuff from
rawhide) on a G4 last night, and it actually ejected each CD
automatically (which is why, I guess, I ask...)

yum problem = catch-22
by Hans Christian Studt
Today FC2T1 was updated to yum-2.0.5.20040229-1.
The problem is that now yum does not work, which mean I can not receive a fixed version of yum (catch-22).

FC2 docs CD?
by Robert G. (Doc) Savage
Will there be a separate documentation CD for FC2? For FC1 we were told
the RH9 docs CD was "close enough".

Dell Inspirion 8100 (Laptop) > Mouse Pad
by RJ
Hi
i upgraded my Fedora Core 1 to FC2 Test1.
My mouse didn't work at all on X at the beginning but figured out
that i had to change the mouse path in the X config.
Now i have some problems with clicking.
Normaly (FC1) i can click by tapping the mousepad.
This doesn't work after the upgrade.
Any ideas?

Evolution install problem and Mozilla+Thunderbird prob
by Bart Kalita
First I did not install evolution during clean install.
Now I have the machine running up to date devel tree .
When I try to install evolution via yum it comes back with that
dependency prob:
> Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
> Server: Fedora Core 1.90 - i386 - Base
> Server: Fedora Supplemental Packages (Stable)
> Server: Fedora Supplemental Packages (Testing)
> Server: Fedora Compatible Packages (stable)
> Server: Fedora Core 1 NewRPMS.sunsite.dk
> Server: Fedora Core 1.90 - i386 - Released Updates
> Finding updated packages
> Downloading needed headers
> Resolving dependencies
> .....Unable to satisfy dependencies
> Package evolution needs libsoup-2.0.so.0, this is not available.
is there anything I can do to solve this??
and since we are on the subject where is jeremy's ftp site for 1.5.x ??
Second thing I run thunderbird 0.5 as an e-mail client and stock
Mozilla .
If I start thunderbird first and then mozilla , mozilla refuses to
start with an error displaing in thunderbird window :
The file /content/navigator.xul cannot be found. Please check the
location and try again.
killing thunderbird-bin makes the problem desapear.
Is it something I should inform Mozilla folks about or is it on fedora
side??
TIA
