Printer is online!! :)
But I feel like such an idiot. I don't recall setting up the printer
with Jetdirect under Mandrake. I did recall directing it to the ip
address at port 9100. My problem was I was trying to set it up with
everything EXCEPT Jetdirect under FC3. I thought "it couldn't be this
because I don't have a Jetdirect server". Thanks for the education.

How to Set Workspace in Session Startup of OpenOffice.org, Firefox, Thunderbird
by Schlaegel
I want my session to include OpenOffice.org on one workspace, Firefox on
another, and Thunderbird on yet another. Unfortunately, gnome-session
says "these windows do not support 'save current setup'...". I was still
able to add them to my session through the "Startup Programs" tab in
gnome-session, but I see no way to specify the workspace to start in.
Is there a way, with the programs included with Fedora Core 3, to start
these applications on a specific workspace. I assumed there was a cli
program to set the workspace, but found none.

packages list and some version.
by Rakotomandimby (R12y) Mihamina
Hello,
I havent got Fedora Core 2 installed yet, but want to now the versions
of some default installed packages before:
- kernel
- Apache
- MySQL
- php
- expat
- swish-e
- (what's) the default MTA of Fedora (?)
- (what's) the default IMAP server of Fedora (?)
and their dependancies
If I had Fedora installed, I could have just done a 'yum list | grep
<the_soft>'. But what if I want to know before ?
Thank you for your help.

yum horror
by korgull
Hi,
When trying yum with ATrpms, I find that dependencies get not resolved and
this makes yum almost unusable.
Is there a fix ?

FC3 tulip Netgear FA310TX bug apparently fixed
by Charles Curley
Old drivers for this device were showing each pair of bytes swapped in
the MAC address of one of my Ethernet cards.
What I see now is 00:02:E3:09:73:C0. What I used to see is
02:00:09:E3:C0:73. The difference came today, when I upgraded the box
from FC2 to FC3.
The "new" MAC address is consistent with a sticker on the card, so I
guess it is the correct one. Also, it agrees with what Windows 9x
reported when I used this card in a W9x box. Apparently FC3 has
cleared up a bug that the driver has had for several years.
Does anyone have a list of Ethernet vendor IDs they can check against
this MAC address? That should tell for sure which is correct.

lsmod reports the tulip driver present.
I am putting this on the list so that anyone else who uses this (or a
similar) card won't be caught and surprised as I was.

RE: Kernel 2.6.10 Can't Open Initial Console on FC3
by Joseph D. Wagner
RESOLVED.
I enabled support for hotplug devices and installed an initrd; then it works.
They tell me there's a way to make it work without initrd, but it's ugly, messy, and not recommended:
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/udev/
I haven't yet tested to see if it works with initrd and without support for hotplug devices, but from the documentation I've read my money is on no.

Installing FC3 alongside another distro
by Andy Elvey
Hi everyone -
I'm a first-timer here and have a question about installing FC3
alongside another distro.
At the moment, I'm running Mepis Linux, and I'm keen to install FC3 as
well.
What I'm wondering is - if I try to install FC3, will it overwrite
the current bootloader, or will the FC3 bootloader just "append" itself
to what's already there? ( I believe Mepis uses the Grub bootloader).
At the moment, I have Grub in the master boot-record. So, if I put
FC3's bootloader elsewhere, will it still be possible for me to access
both distros?
Very many thanks for your time and comments!
