Hello,
Thanks for everyone's help! Both systems are booting fine now. Editing
grub.conf did the trick! Thanks again.

Re: How to preserve users in new install?
by John L. Pierce
Someone should also direct this user to setup separate partitions on the
physical disc(s) so that in the future preserving user data will be much
easier.
Then when doing a new install the user can just omit formatting the
/home, /etc and other necessary directories.

FC2 v's FC1: memory handling
by Marc Lucke
Anecdotally it seems that FC2 will do everything it can to avoid paging
to the hard disk whereas FC1 was quite happy to go on chewing up hard
drive until the proverbial cows come home. However performance seems to
suffer - my sendmail process now takes so long to answer when my hard
disk is under heavy load and I am beginning to suspect that the system's
paging routines might have something to do with this. In FC1, 1GB of
RAM did not seem to be enough, in FC2 no matter what I'm doing it won't
use any more than about 2-300k!
I think this may be a kernel thing, but any comments?

Erratic behavior with smbmount
by George Salt
I'm running Linux Fedora Core 2 with Samba 3.0.3-5
installed. I'm experiencing some strange behavior
when I try to mount a FAT32 share on a Win2k
workstation.
After a fresh reboot, when I try smbmount (or
mount.smb) everything seems to work (no error
messages). Then when I try to access the mountpoint -
via Nautilus or by doing "ls" in a terminal - the
system freezes. If I try smbumount I get "Device or
resource busy." I have to use "umount -l" to unmount
the share.
What's weird is that the behavior is very erratic. If
I start and stop nmb and smb a few times, and change
some minor parameters with SWAT, and then try again,
then smbmount works fine - I can browse the share with
Nautilus, drag-and-drop, etc. Once I reboot, it all
starts again.
Here are the results of testparm:

SELinux FC2 install with 128MB Ram
by Bruce Ecroyd
I have an old box kicking around, and tried to install FC2 (SELinux)
on it, and the installer crapped out. I was attempting a 962MB
install; the installer indicated that it was 'probably a bug' but it
wouldn't dump the results to floppy. Anyone been successful in
installing it on a low-ram machine?
The dirtbox:
K6-233
128MB Ram
2.7Gig / partition. (3 gig drive)

Dual Boot RH7.3 and FC2
by Bernice Lau
Hello,
I'm trying to dual boot RH7.3 and FC2. Every time that I've tried
installing, I can get either RH7.3 or FC2 to boot, but not both. I've tried
installing RH7.3 first, and then FC2, but the bootloader won't allow RH7.3
to run after the FC2 installation. Same thing happens if I try and install
FC2 then RH7.3. Any suggestions for what I should do?
Thanks,
Bernice

Mysterious Problem - rpm database gone?
by Olaf Mueller
Hi,
since today yum is broken on my fc2. Here is the output from the "yum
update" command:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 30, in ?
yummain.main(sys.argv[1:])
File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 163, in main
(log, errorlog, filelog, conf, cmds) = parseCmdArgs(args)
File "/usr/share/yum/yummain.py", line 75, in parseCmdArgs
conf=yumconf(configfile=yumconffile)
File "/usr/share/yum/config.py", line 155, in __init__
self.yumvar['releasever'] = self._getsysver()
File "/usr/share/yum/config.py", line 291, in _getsysver
hdr = idx.next()
StopIteration
Typing "rpm -qa | grep kde" gives me no output, also the commands "rpm
--initdb" and "rpm --rebuilddb" have no effect.
How can I get back my rpm database?
What I have done so far with no effect at all:
- yum clean
- create new /etc/yum.conf
- overwrite the files under /usr/share/yum with files from an other,
correct running system
- overwrite the files under /usr/lib/python* with files from an other,
correct running system
What has here happend?
thanks

FC2 & Belkin KVM Switch
by admin@kclinux.net
I have a user that has two PC's connected to a Belkin 4 port KVM switch.
One PC is a Windows XP/FC2 dual boot.
The other PC is a FC2 test server running KDE.
When he switches from one computer to another, the Windows one works
fine. But when he switches to the Fedora box, the mouse jumps all over
the screen.
The keyboard is a Logitech Elite Keyboard and the mouse is a
Intellimouse Explorer 3.0.
Anyone know how to fix the mouse problem on the FC2 box? They keyboard
still works fine after switching, its just the mouse that is having
problems.

Where is sndconfig?
by Brian Kendig
I'm running FC2 and I want to configure my ISA sound card. I'm told I
have to use sndconfig, but where is it? It doesn't seem to be included
in the FC2 distribution, and yum can't find it.
