Redhat partition manager tool / software raid
by Ade Bradshaw
Hi
Im running Fedora using software RAID 0 and two hard disks. I was amazed
how easy this is to setup during the install
If I wanted to now add another disk and change to RAID 5, how would I go
about doing it?
Thanks

This is looking like a one-sided conversation ;o)
I upgraded binutils and set --enable-strip-libs, both to no avail. Does
anyone know how the Red Hat developers rebuilt mozilla?

Raid card that works in Fedora
by Rob Freeman
I am looking into building out a new fedora box for my house, but I want to find an IDE raid card that works with fedora. On my older RH9 box, I have a promise raid card, but the drivers do not work with fedora, and after talking to promise, they do not plan on releasing drivers for fedora. I am just looking to mirror 2 drives together. Has anyone had good luck getting their IDE raid cards working with fedora and could suggest a decent card to get?
Thanks

More questions on cryptplug

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
So now after downloading and installing all the peices parts.
How I configure the plugin to sign or encrypt? When I have the plugin
activated it complains about there being no passphrase, yet I don't see where
one configures such.
I have signed this message with the plugin disabled.

I found the "force" switch, but where is the "skip info" stored?

Better POP daemon?
by Steven Stern
I'm popping mail from my FC1 server using the IPOP3 daemon that was already
there. Dang, but it is slow. It takes a long time to just to pick up one
short message, mainly due (I think) to process start time. It gets created
and stopped with each POP session. Does anyone have a suggestion for a better
POP3 daemon?

pgp signature test
by Lorenzo Prince
Hi. I am testing to see if my pgp signing is more readable now. I have turned
off the Muttrc option that says pgp-create-traditional=yes. I believe I set it
to ask-no. I know this will cause the m$ family of email software to display my
messages as attachments only, but (a) as far as I know, there are none of those
on this list, (b) this option is there for compatibility only, and is "strongly
deprecated," and (c) I can always turn it on if I am emailing someone who happens
to be using a M$ mail client. I just hope this works, as I really don't want to
turn pgp off altogether. I like having a digital signature for security reasons,
as I can be fverified on any keyserver. I also use it as I am the maintainer
of a couple of RPM's and I email the developers of those packages and also dign
the packages with my signature. If this doesn't work, please give me some
pointers on how I can fix Mutt so that it signs messages in a fashion that is
readable by everyone.
Thanks for any help

Sony 510a dvd +-rw
by Mark Carter
Don't know if this helps, but I use a Sony 510a under Redhat 8.0. I was
able to use growisofs with mondo directly to the /dev/hcx, but could not
get cdrecord to work for cd burning with it until I went to
http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/
and followed instructions there:
Passing "hdX=ide-scsi" argument to kernel via lilo did not work, so, I
did the following:
* appending following lines to your /etc/modules.conf:
options ide-cd ignore=hdX
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd
I am now able to use both cdrecord and growisofs... --scanbus finds
the burner. It is a very nice setup with mondo. Might work in
fedora too, but I don't know.
