FC5 T3 -> FC6 Develolment?
by Dan Thurman
Folks,
I was a but busy and I am currently in a FC5 T3 setup, so
my question is, do I just stay in this environment, and
simply 'yum update' to get into the FC6 level or do I have
to burn any iso's and reinstall everything or what?
Thanks!

no icon on desktop when mounting /mnt/device...
by LarryT
About the new fc5 (already on the fc5-test) :
having logical device on /dev/hda6 (e.g.)
creating /mnt/downloads
adding line to fstab :
/dev/hda6 /mnt/dwonloads vfat auto,users,umask=0 0 0
Then, when i mount /mnt/downloads, it mounts, but there is no icon on
the desktop.
On fc4, it was !
Is there any config, or what is the possibility to create a shortcut to
this mounted device, please ?
thx

Fedora Core 5: Still needs ide=nodma for mediacheck
by Horst H. von Brand
I burned CDs for FC5 under rawhide (up to date as of yesterday), and wasted
several CD blanks when the nediacheck uniformly told me they were bad... a
recheck after booting with "linux mediacheck ide=nodma" declared them in
good health. I found the above workaround by surfing the net, for FC4.

Unpriviledged remote suspend
by David Wood
Trying out FC5, I'm rather surprised that an unpriviledged user can initiate
suspend from a remote X terminal.
The shutdown option is missing (as expected)
but the suspend option remains.
As my HP nx9010 laptop doesn't seem to recover from suspend, this means any
remote user can trigger an instant denial of service!
Should this be bugzilla'd (or has it been noted already?)

First Impressions
by Leslie S Satenstein
Installation went flawlessly. I used a DVD from a mirror site.
Screeen resolution is fine but movement actions are choppy. The test versions (t1-t3) had smooth scrolling and smooth output. Not the official relese.
I tried revising the mouse parameters, but this has not helped. I will try some other techniques or request some hints.
How do I measure (on a figure of merit) the gui stuff. Well, aside from the tests, for gui operation, I loaded the free cell solitaire and began moving the cards. I can get to the target location before the software / display catches up. This did not happen with Core5 tests 1 to test 3.
With the test verision I felt as if the solitaire game card movement was as good as as in Core4, then we are with a winner.
It is perhaps choppy due to screen resolution or refresh frequencies. I will retry and if it works out, I will let you know. Otherwise, I would like help to make the game have more default dispatching priority. .
I would like to know if others have find some quirks as well.

CUPS / lpr messed up?
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
When I try to print anything, I keep getting the message
"There was a problem sending CUPS test page to 'ML2250' queue:
/usr/bin/lpr: The printer of class was not found
Is there a fix for this due or is it my machine?
dmesg | tail gives me
ppdev0: registered pardevice
ppdev0: unregistered pardevice
ppdev1: claim the port first
ppdev2: claim the port first
ppdev3: claim the port first
ppdev0: registered pardevice
ppdev0: unregistered pardevice
ppdev1: claim the port first
ppdev2: claim the port first
ppdev3: claim the port first
So it looks like something is messed up...
