Firefox preferences failing to save
by Eamonn Sullivan
I just installed FC3T2 yesterday, did a full up2date, and have run
into a minor problem: When I launch Firefox (which is now version
1.0PR), I get the following message: "Failed to save the preferences
file. Any preference changes will be lost at the end of the session."
And, sure 'nuf, they are lost. I've tried running Firefox as root, and
that saves preferences fine. I run into this problem only when running
as a normal user. Any ideas?

references to packages which don't exist
by Marius Andreiana
Hi
On fc3t2 everything install from hdd, before starting to installing rpms
I switched to console and saw messages like
base references prctl which doesn't exist
core references rpmdb-redhat which ...
development-tools ref. gcc-ppc32 ...
Should these packages be removed from references?

I got it to work the "harder" way: boot with the resue CD, change
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcg-eth0 to ONBOOT=no.
Thanks for the tip, though.

Reading question 8 <http://linux.yyz.us/sata/faq-sata-raid.html#dmraid> ...
Yep, so it is supported or not ?
Why not ?
Is DM not shipped with FC3 ?
Why not ?
People have setups like that ( I have a Promise FastTrack ) and expect
it to work in linux.

by Mohamed Eldesoky
I tried to install it on qemu (virtual machine, like VMWare), but
anaconda is crashing everytime before starting the GUI.
Any success out there ?

GRUB settings not remebered in install
by xerces8
Hi!
In FC2t2 when you back in GUI install and then come again to the Boot
Loader screen, the settings one made before are not remembered, but the
default appears always. Is that on purpose ?
Other settings are remembered, like the keyboard layout, system languages
, install type etc. )

Post-Install Add/Remove Programs Fails
by Leon Stringer
Hi,
I've just installed FC3t2. I now want to install some additional
packages. So I've opened the Add/Remove Programs window, selected my new
packages and clicked Update. I then got a message telling me to insert
Disc 1 which I've done and I then get the error "Unable to access
disk.".
(The CD auto mounts, is readable and I did a media check before
installation, it was fine).
Has anyone encountered this?
There seems to be some Bugzilla issues for FC2 test releases but not
FC3.
