Fedora Core 3 Test 1 on AMD64 causes "static"
by Paul Tinsley
I was wondering if anybody else has seen problems with the 64bit
version of fc3t1 where booting off CD1 or the DVD to do the install
doesn't make it past the isolinux portion of the install and turns the
display into what looks somewhat like static. I first assumed it
didn't like my dell flat panel so I hooked up a CRT and recieved the
same results. So I swapped video cards to an old nvidia geforce 2
card and recieved the same results. I am somewhat at a loss as to
what to try now.
Thanks,

yum 2.1 & new metadata
by Satish Balay
With the new metadata format - yum appears to download 3M of metadata
for rawhide - eachtime yum in invoked.
---
% yum update
Setting up Update Process
Setting up Repo: development
repomd.xml 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00
primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 944 kB 00:03
developmen: ################################################## 3523/3523
---
I'm guessing the 3523 referes to 3523 kB - and probably referes to
repodata/filelists.xml.gz (and perhaps other files)
Isn't this a lot more datatansfer than the older format? (for each yum
invocation)

Evolution in Rawhide
by David Malcolm
There was a mixup with the various Evolution packages in Rawhide; the
latest dependencies (libsoup and libgal2) made it into Rawhide earlier
today, but the upper packages in the stack didn't (evolution-data-
server, evolution-webcal, evolution, and evolution-connector).
So, for one day only, if you're running Rawhide Evolution, and are
seeing problems about libgal2 and libsoup when updating, you can find
the higher-level packages here:
http://people.redhat.com/dmalcolm/rolling-rolling-rolling/
This _should_ all be fixed tonight, and Rawhide should work again
normally for the Evolution stuff tomorrow; sorry about the breakage.

after last update... few questions
by Bart Kalita
Well,
please first accept the fact that I'm thick as two short planks stuck
together with thick glue.
and now if someone could answer following Q's:
1. nightly tree supposed to be instalable. How?
2. Devel tree is supposed to be fast moving, last update ( however
disasterous ) was more than 48 hours ago and since then no updates are
downloadable.... the kernel, dev, init-tools disaster MUST have been
by now realised by the devel team.
3. How, if possible can I create DVD/CD form nightly tree in order to
install FC3 test 1 without resorting to going back to original DVD + yum
update?
I'm not trying to rise anybodys blood pressure If I did I appologise.
Yes, I didn't look through the list archives....
Reasons for this post: Well my FC3 system is down with now go on any of
the mentioned work-arounds, HD form FC is now connected to my XP system
and I'm wondering how I can access it to move required rpm's to
downgrade/upgrade it to a working versions. For unknown reasons I can't
mount floppy nor DVD drive on any of last 3 kernels.
I accept that FC3 is a test 1 version and I do not have any important
files there, not exacly true but if I do a clean install I won't exacly
break down and cry, still it would be nice to make it work without
resorting to a clean install.
Now I'm ready to have mud thrown at me .... still any help would be
appreciated.
TIA

Is it safe to update yet?
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Given the barrage of problems with yesterdays updates, does anyone know
if the packages have been fixed and put into rawhide?
I don't want to update and spend another couple of hours fixing things!
TTFN

Up2date wierdness
by Mark Haney
I re-installed FC3t1 since I hosed the old copy on a machine of mine and
everything was peachy-keen until after a reboot for some updated
packages, my up2date applet is pointing now to the FC2 released
repository. yum.conf is correct and everything looks fine, but I can't
get it to point back to the development repository. What's going on
here?
