FC mirror update.
by Sam Varshavchik
mirror.linux.duke.edu apparently is not providing public rsync access any
more. I sent a note to ftp(a)redhat.com to remove them from the mirror list;
is there a better address for that?

libgimp dependency errors
by Mark Haney
I just finished installing (actually upgrading FC2t1) test 2 and was
running up2date to get the freshest packages when I get this wierd
dependency error. It seems xsane and one other app(I forget which)
requires the libgimp libraries. I can't find any libgimp packages, so
they must be packaged under a different name. Can someone tell me what
packages I need?

Problems during install boot FC2 Test 2
by Ben Mullen
I'm desperate to use try this out but I think the ACPI
support built into the install cd is tanking my cdrom
drive after the initial bootup screen.
Everything is fine during the initial kernel loading,
but when my console gets to:
running /sbin/loader
laptop spins up for a moment stops, and then starts up
again indefinately. The only way I can get around
this is to remove the cdrom drive from the laptop,
which causes the install program to bring up a text
menu asking for my language, keyboard, and source
media. Unfortunately the computer doesn't recognise
my cdrom drive anymore.
Anyone have any idea why this is happening, or if it
is ACPI's fault. I'm not sure how to disable ACPI
during GRUB boot, either.
My laptop is a Dell CPI-R 400.

Re: FC2T2 Initial Things - Update
by Dan
Another completely un-related thing I'd like to see sorted out is the
automatic mirror selection in up2date.
Yes - I realise that this was screamed for in a former life, but until
RedHat/Fedora and the mirrors can get everything sorted, and keep all
mirrors relatively up-to-date, this could get irritating.
Suppose for instance that I update against mirror X. I then hear of an
urgent update, and go to up2date to get the update, only to find that
mirrors Y and Z are out-of-date. Will people actually want to run up2date
several times until they find an up-to-date mirror?
Just a thought :-)

FC Dev on PPC
by M Galvin
So I d/l'd the FC Dev boot.iso for PPC. I am trying to get FC running
on my Mac. I was able to boot from the CD i created from this iso...
but for some reason the keyboard doesn't work, or better yet, the
boot image doesn't recgognize my keyboard. Its a regular Mac USB
keyboard, and I my box is a Dual G4 500 "GigE" PM. I also could
not find a ppc-list so i am posting here in hopes that someone has
had a similar issues.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

FC2T2 Initial Things - Update
by Dan
Further to my previous email regarding issues with the radeon driver:
1) XF86Config has the "radeon" driver defined, so it's definitely that
driver that has the issue
2) It appears to only occur when something tries to run 3D stuff.
3) Here's an excerpt from my XFree86.0.log file, from the point in time
when the problem occurs:
(II) RADEON(0): Wrote: rd=13, fd=22, pd=4
(WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such device)
(==) RADEON(0): Write-combining range (0xe0000000,0x4000000)
(WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering not yet supported on IGP320/330/340/350,
7000, 9000 integrated chips
(II) RADEON(0): Memory manager initialized to (0,0) (1408,8191)
(II) RADEON(0): Reserved area from (0,1050) to (1408,1052)
(II) RADEON(0): Largest offscreen area available: 1408 x 7139
(II) RADEON(0): Acceleration enabled
(II) RADEON(0): Using hardware cursor (scanline 1052)
(II) RADEON(0): Largest offscreen area available: 1408 x 7136
(**) RADEON(0): DPMS enabled
(II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled
(==) RandR enabled
(II) Mouse0: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded
AUDIT: Thu Apr 1 11:23:35 2004: 1698 X: client 5 rejected from local host
*** If unresolved symbols were reported above, they might not

4) Also, from an SSH session, it seems impossible to use "telinit 3" to
get out of X windows (and thus restart X). Although the machine hasn't
locked up, it appears that it can't be brought back into X without a
restart.

Re: how to set up ftp install server
by Richard Shaw
I just did it today by trial and error. I copied the entire first disk to a directory accessable from FTP; then just copied the RPM's from disks 2-4 into the RPM directory of disk 1. Burned the ~4MB boot image so I only lost one CDR instead of 4 and did a "linux askmethod". When it asks for the ftp location just point to the directory that would be the root of the CD.
I actually have a set of CD-RW's I reuse for each new version but my laptop doesn't like booting from them.
