reiserfs
by Timothy Sandel
Is there any plans to implement the reiserfs into fc. I just installed
fc3-t1 and see it's still not there. I notice on average about a 50%
throughput increase on my linux workstations with this file system. On
top of that the recovery time on recovering the journal is a lot faster
too.

Re: cdrecord fails with "Floating Point Exception"

I've just bugzilla'd this (under cdrtools component) with the command
output and a core dump available via an http link to my machine.

Package building and alternate kernels (Re: Why is this list so
by Michel Salim
Reading a recent post in fedora-test-list on the lack of testers for
FC3t1 reminded me of a wishlist I had had ever since I tried using
Fink <fink.sf.net> on Mac OS X.
What we are missing at the moment in Fedora is an easier way to
rebuild packages from source. Not advocating an optimize-like-hell
approach like Gentoo's, but more the approach of Fink or the *BSDs;
i.e. being able to issue a command like 'yum build foo' which will
check all the build requirements of package foo, and for those not
found, download the source packages, rebuild them, and install them
automagically behind the scenes.*
(* I believe Debian does that also, but I can't remember)
With Fedora Core releases happening every six months, people with a
lot of non-Core packages installed would appreciate being able to
quickly rebuild their packages to check for errors, IMHO. Mach might
be able to do this, but unfortunately I'm on a metered connection
right now and could not try it until next month. Which sadly rules me
out of the test periods, so apologies if I introduce suggestions that
have already been implemented or seem naive.
Another thing is to provide alternate kernel images. Not just various
recompiles of the same kernel versions as FC currently does, but older
kernels as well for compatibility reasons. It would be especially nice
if this could be integrated into Anaconda but really, people who need
older kernels could dig up the RPM from the installation media unless
the standard kernel is unbootable.
In my case, for example, the last kernel to support my external
Firewire/USB drive is
kernel-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 from FC2t2 (IIRC).
Just my 2 cents,
- Michel

fc3t1 can't find usb scanner
by Gerry Tool
The scanner situation seems to be worsening. After following a thread
when installing FC2, I finally got my Epson Perfection 1240U scanner
working.
In fc3t1, the commands sane-find-scanner and scanimage -L executed
either as user or root turn up no scanner.
Can anyone else confirm this? Any hints on hot to get it to work?
Thanks.

C++ Problem
by Guo Yang
Hello,
I am learning C++ right now. I got a strange problem about fstream
class. The program below I tried on a Fedora Core 3 test 1 platform
always fails to open the 'test.cpp' file (which is the program file
itself). But the same program works on Windows without any problem. So
did I do something wrong or the implementation of the c++ library
doesn't work?
Thank you very much for help.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
fstream filestr("test.cpp", ios::in|ios::out|ios::app);
if (filestr.is_open())
{
cout << "File successfully open" << endl;
filestr << "Help wanted!" << endl;
filestr.close();
}
else
{
cerr << "Error opening file" << endl;
}
return 0;
}

Good Install of FC3T1 - So Far
by Clyde Kunkel
Did a clean install except for /boot partition. No problems with media
checks all 4 discs. Used same device as burned the ISOs--Sony DVD RW
DRU-530A. First minor problem was KVM crazy mouse--plugged a separate
mouse in directly to PS/2 port to get thru install. Had tried to use
psmouse.proto=imps at inital boot: prompt, but wouldn't take. Had to
wait for install to finish. My Firewire drive and USB drive are both
seen, can't mount yet since they are NTFS spindles. Disabled selinux
during install.
Only other current problem is SAMBA. Get following errors when
executing system-config-samba:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/system-config-samba/system-config-samba.py", line 38,
in ?

File "/usr/share/system-config-samba/sambaToken.py", line 36, in
__init__
raise AttributeError, value
AttributeError: ('cups options', 'raw')
Couldn't find anything in bugzilla, still looking in archives. Anyone
seen anything like this?
Continuing with testing....

anyone else having mediacheck problems with FC3t1 images?
by Jason Dravet
The CD I was describing was FC3-test1-i386-disc1.iso. At this time I only
have a Windows XP partition. I switched PCs a couple weeks ago and I only
had time to install XP. I also saw shortly after that FC3 test1 would be
out soon so I decided to wait for FC3-test1 for the install.
I burned the isos using a fully patched XP Pro system with ISO Recorder from
http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm.
It is funny that DMA should be mentioned. I just turn it on for the zip
drive and CD-ROM this afternoon. I turned DMA on after I burned the
replacement CDs. I will try re-burnning the CDs tomorrow.
Thanks,
Jason
