smb-shares
by Sturla Holm Hansen
I'm having probles when using nautilus to browse smb-shares, either on
another linux-box or on a windoze-box, it takes ages to connect, then
I'm asked for a password and then it takes ages again.
Finally I get a list of the shares on the box, when double-clicking one
of them it takes ages AGAIN, but when I'm finally inside a share things
seem to be working fine....
Any ideas?

Problem mounting FAT32 hard drive
by AL
Any thoughts on this? I have a second hard drive located at HDD and it is a
single partition 80GB drive. When I try to mount it as root I get the error
"mount: fs type fat not supported by kernel." I currently have fat support
loaded as a module. It shows up when I do lsmod, but its not in the kernel.
At least it doesn't show up when I do a "cat /proc/filesystems."
Am I missing something?

The more I read the confuser I get.
by akonstam@trinity.edu
I will make it simple. If you by a RH Enterprise distribution or RH Workstation
distribution can you install it freely on multiple machines or do you have to pay
for each installation? Or is the service for the installation only good on one
machine but the software can be installed on multiple machines?

Fedora Project: Announcing New Direction
by Michael K. Johnson
Red Hat and Fedora Linux are pleased to announce an alignment of their
mutually complementary core proficiencies leveraging them synergistically
in the creation of the Fedora Project, a paradigm shift for Linux
technology development and rolling early deployment models.
We are <...> *thud*
One two ... one two ... testing, is this thing on?
Hello, this is, um, the Engineers speaking. We are still really excited
about the project, but this time we have more than just dates. We hope
fedora.redhat.com will answer lots of your questions, and are sure it
will pose a few new ones.
Why Fedora?
Red Hat has a lot of experience in building solid dependable core
distributions while the Fedora Linux Project has lots of experience in
building effective infrastructure and policy to create many high quality
add on packages. Both groups decided to merge the two projects and build
outward using our shared experience, and to use the name "Fedora Project".
We don't pretend the merge will be smooth or immediate, but we firmly
believe that working with the Fedora Linux Project will get external
projects and add-ons up and running better and faster than we could on
our own and we are proud to be working with them.
The Fedora Project is something special. It enables Red Hat and the
community to work together to provide the community with rapid rolling
releases and to get new technology into the hands of developers.
With the solid establishment of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat
now has a platform for predictable change and high quality support
for customers, and for our ISV and IHV partners. Fedora is about
the community, about cool new technologies, and extending existing
Red Hat tools in a collaborative community. Our new up2date, for
example, supports YUM and apt-get repositories.
Fellow Fedorans, a new dawn is upon us, let us begin.
Please note:
The http://rhl.redhat.com/ web site has been renamed
http://fedora.redhat.com/ and the mailing lists have all been renamed:
rhl-list(a)redhat.com -> fedora-list(a)redhat.com
rhl-beta-list(a)redhat.com -> fedora-test-list(a)redhat.com
rhl-devel-list(a)redhat.com -> fedora-devel-list(a)redhat.com
rhl-docs-list(a)redhat.com -> fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com
Your subscriptions have been preserved, moved over to the new names
for the lists.

May be UDF? Has UDF full support under linux (RHL 9 and betas)?

Compiling 2.4.22-1.2108.nptl
by David C. Hart
I didn't find this on Bugzilla but every time I try to compile any of
the NPTL kernels I get an error on make BzImage specifying
"active_load_balance" in sched.c.
Eventually, if I run it again (without an interim make clean) it does
compile and it does boot. Given that I have now experienced the problem
on three machines, I suspect that this is a fairly common bug. Does
anyone know what this issue stems from?
I have also noticed that these kernels seem determined to build in the
crypto options, regardless of how they are configured.
FWIW, I like to build fairly lean kernels, eliminating what I don't
need.

Potential Red Hat User
by Kevin C
I'm kinda new to the whole linux world but have been seriously thinking of using it as my OS for a new computer I'm building. Anyone know of any good literature for a new linux user like myself? preferrably for the fedora project...
Any tips would be very helpful

Crossover Office 2.1
by Gerry Tool
I just downloaded Codeweavers Crossover Office 2.1 and installed it on
FC Test3. It seemed to work fine at first, but after a couple of days
(and many updates from rawhide) it now produces an error when I try to
run a windows app. IE 6 will not run after the error, but other apps
do.
"Your system appears to contain a security patch that will cause trouble
when running some programs in CrossOver. To fix the problem, please
consult the online FAQ at ...."
When I consult the FAQ, it says:
==============================
6.1.2.1.6. Will CrossOver work with my security patches? (grsec,
libsafe, etc.)
Sometimes. Many security patches disallow loading executables at certain
locations in the memory map. Some Windows executables are stripped of
their relocation records, thus must be loaded at a specific address in
the memory map.
For this reason, you may experience trouble running certain programs in
CrossOver with security patches enabled. If you are using grsec, please
contact us as we may be able to help you. If you are using the "not
executable stack patch" for Linux, you may disable it for CrossOver by
running the following command:
$ /usr/sbin/chstk -e ~/cxoffice/bin/wineloader
==============================
I do not have a program called /usr/sbin/chstk, and suspect this is not
the solution anyway.
Has anyone else experienced this or had success with CrossOver Office 2.1
on Fedora?
Thanks.
