problems mounting fat32 partition
by Tom
Hi,
I have just installed Fedora Core 3, dual boot with Win XP. I have a
separate partition for my files and so on, and I want to access it from
linux. This is the set up of my system:
hda:
- hda1 (Windows XP - NTFS ~15GB)
- hda2 (Files - FAT32 ~ 25GB)
hdd:
- hdd1 (/boot - ext3 ~ 100MB)
- hdd2 - LVM Physical Volume (containing swap and / ~20GB)
This is recognised by the Hardware Browser, but when I try to mount
hda2, it does not seem to exist in /dev, so unsurprisingly, I get the
error: "mount: special device /dev/hda2 does not exist"
any ideas?
Tom.

Installing fedora at school
by Danial Rehman
My school is thinking of installing linux on some of the computers,
and were wondering if it's legal to use linux for non-private usage. I
really didn't get what they meant but something about linux only
beeing free if your going to install for yourself and not for a whole
school or corporation or whatever.
So I'm wondering if it's allowed to get fedora for about 10 compters
at my school the legal way.
I always thought linux was free for everyone?
Thanks in advande

Hi Paolo,
I THINK this is a bug with the FC3 kernel on the CDs.
There certainly was a problem like this out-of-the-box for me.
Are you using the original kernel?

Sounds like a homework assignment to me...

Yes, that's right. Your awk command is just printing the first field of
the ls -l output, which is the permissions. What you want to do is to
search the permissions but output the filename, something more like this:
$ ls -l | awk '/^-..[Ss]/ { print $9 }'
This looks for regular files (1st character of line is "-") that have
the SUID bit set (fourth character of line is "s" or "S") and then
prints out the filename (9th field of line).
You probably want to be using the "find" command rather than the "ls"
command though. Use "-maxdepth 1" by default to turn off its recursive
checking of directories, and skip the "-maxdepth 1" option when your
script is passed the -R option.
Paul.

Hi Bill,
yes, i am using the original kernel...
so do you think making a yum update kernel could solve this problem?
thanks

RH9 -> FC3: no upgrade offered
by Jean-Louis Leroy
Hello,
I have a computer running Red Hat 9 (Shrike). I'd like to upgrade to
FC3. Unfortunately, the (graphical) installer doesn't seem to
recognize the presence of a previous installation and does not offer
to upgrade it.
Here's my partition list:
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda2 on /usr type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda5 on /home type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda6 on / type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda7 on /var type ext3 (rw)
I wonder if this has to do with the fact that this is a purely SCSI
computer? However, the installer does load the appropriate SCSI
modules during the pre-graphical phase; and the bottom of anaconda.log
shows that apparently it goes look for things there:
* moving (1) to step language
* moving (1) to step keyboard
* running ['/usr/X11R6/bin/setxkbmap', '-layout', 'us', '-model', 'pc105', '-option', '']
* moving (1) to step findrootparts
* isys.py:mount()- going to mount /tmp/sda1 on /mnt/sysimage
* isys.py:mount()- going to mount /tmp/sda2 on /mnt/sysimage
* isys.py:mount()- going to mount /tmp/sda5 on /mnt/sysimage
* isys.py:mount()- going to mount /tmp/sda6 on /mnt/sysimage
* isys.py:mount()- going to mount /tmp/sda7 on /mnt/sysimage
* moving (1) to step installtype
* Detected 2032M of memory
* Swap attempt of 1000M to 2000M
* moving (1) to step partitionmethod
* moving (-1) to step installtype
* moving (-1) to step findrootparts
* moving (-1) to step keyboard
Help please...

You might want to check if you are getting socket errors in your fetchmail. It
will cause messages to repeat in your mail. I experienced this from my
fetchmail. To fix it I changed fetchmailrc to include logging and expunge 1 to
erase mail from my server. here is a copy of my .fetchmailrc file.
# Configuration created Sun Jul 11 10:36:42 2004 by fetchmailconf
set postmaster "rmiles"
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
set daemon 90
set no syslog
set logfile /home/rmiles/fetchmail.log
poll mail.comcast.net with proto POP3
user 'r.godzilla' there with password 'xxxx' is 'rmiles' here
expunge 1
