Official release ISOs
by Jim Haynes
I'm looking for it on the mirrors and seeing ISO files dated
08 Nov 2009. Is that the official release, or should I be looking
for some dated 17 Nov 2009?

kernel-2.6.32-0.48.rc7.git1.fc13.x86_64 installation problem
by tJohn Rosich
The kernel fails to install when running rpm -ivh
Error message is
2: kernel
E: failed to install /usr/lib/python 2.6/site packages/bitfrost/__init__.py
mkinitrd failed
warning:%post(kernel-2.6.32-0.48.rc7.git1.fc13.x86_64) scriptlet failed,
exit status 1
In the process, all kernel entries in grub were removed: Only Windows XP was
showing.
This is an update to a Fedora 12 system: all other "fc.13" changes (from
rawhide) were accepted and worked. (Kernel was the last to be installed ---
resulting the above error.)
rpm -qa shows two kernels (the above kernel & fc12 -- latest version) as
being installed.
What needs to be done to make the system functional?
TIA

eh eh... here in Italy we say you are trying to climb the glasses ;-)
with these arguments we would end up saying that your apps are running on
the same kernel and so you would have to boot two different kernels at the
same time (eventually using Qemu/KVM ;-) or that your kernel has to cope
better with multiple inputs...
taking aside the tricks, I'm testing with a default F12 RC2 and with the
default window manager of the provided Gnome DE, that is metacity... and
probably I overlooked the basic functionality.
Thanks anyway for the feedback
I'll eventually dig more in the XI2 technology to understand better
limitations and opportunities.

Fedora 12 Release
by Lawrence E Graves
Just want say thanks to the staff of Fedora for all the patient work you
do to bring force OSs' like this one. I believe you have out done
yourselves. I can't wait for 13.

Saturday Rawhide install fails to start X
by Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX
Both 31 and 64 bit flavors of Saturday's rsync rawhide
install failed to start the X server. I chose a text
install but gave up when the menu did not offer a
custom install.
System is a Core Duo with Nvidia 9600GT video.

anaconda request for enhancement
by cornel panceac
can anaconda, when given enough install free space, create a separate /home
partition by default, or at least give the user the option to create one?
(like using a checkbox, not custom partitioning)

One more nit to fix...?
by Robert G. (Doc) Savage
I've installed the rpmfusion free and non-free noarch rpms to my F12b
64-bit test system. Those both depend on the epel noarch rpm, and
therein lies an odd problem:
# yum -y update --skip-broken
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit

Searching my downloads I spotted something very odd:
F12 Everything perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.008-82.fc12.x86_64.rpm
F13 Rawhide perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.008-84.fc13.x86_64.rpm
EPEL 5 perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.020-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
EPEL appears to have a newer version number than either F12 Everything
or F13 Rawhide, but the date of that 2.020-1 file is July 1, 2009.
How can this be reconciled???
