FC4t1 notes
by Aaron Kurtz
Some notes on my installation of the new test. Some will be useful for
others, and some are just for my setup. This is just i386.
1) Mediacheck doesn't seem to work. At least I haven't seen anyone who
can get a PASS for the DVD or CD isos. I've booted directly from a
checked iso and still FAILed.
2) The sata_sil driver has taken a step back - it worked with complaints
in FC3, and now just hangs, instead of hanging unless irqpoll is used.
I'm trying to use a hard drive with NCQ which has been blamed for
problems in the past.
3) Firstboot doesn't work on first boot. This is fixed in rawhide,
although I lost track of which package in particular fixes it. It's not
firstboot though.
4) The packaged GDM eats CPU. "yum update gdm" before logging in through
GDM or regret it.
5) system-config-* will not work until you install
gnome-python2-gnomevfs and its requirements.
6) upgrading RPM in rawhide will break yum. extract libsqlite3.so.0.8.6
from the sqlite3-3.0.8-3.i386.rpm packaged in the release and put it in
the /usr/lib to get yum back in shape.
Hope someone finds this useful.

FC4-test1 - Most we upgrade to rawhide or not?
by Gabriel Labelle
I would simply like to know if the Rawhide PPC packages were the "updates" to
FC4-test1 or if FC4-test1 must remain static (as it is) in order to get better
testing?

Re: FC4t1: Can't install from isos via nfs after booting from USB key
by Edwin Olson
Hi everyone,
I wrote diskboot.img to a USB key and successfully booted it on a VIA
mini-ITX machine with 'linux askmethod'. I pointed it to my nfs
server--a procedure which I've used repeatedly with FC3--but the
installer rejects my nfs path, saying it doesn't look like a valid
install path. One of the consoles reports that it has mounted my nfs
volume on /mnt/source, but says: "LOOP_FD_SET Failed: device or resource
busy" when it tries to mount the isos on loopback.
My nfs directory contains the 4 isos for FC4T1, and nothing else. As a
sanity check, I was able to mount the nfs directory and see/read the
isos from another machine.
The problem seems to be similar to shrek-m gmx de's "fc4t1-ppc hdd iso
inst" thread.
Any suggestions?

FC4 on Chaintech S1689
by g_cross@accesscomm.ca
I'm at work right now so I don't have the exact error message but it
complains about something to do with pci irqs I think. All I have is a lan
card in it and the onboard disabled. There are no irq conflicts. When it
complains about the irqs the kernel panics and the bootup (at install)
freezes. Any ideas?

Re: Nautilus and not another CD burning app.
by Teak Billard
I think nautilus is the way to go. There are too many
programs, esp. cd burning apps that include their own
file managing systems in the apps. It's better to
just take a good file managing system like nautilus
and do what they've done. I like the fact that I
don't have to load another program and can just stay
in nautilus to burn CDs or DVDs.
I wish video editing would become as simple.
