Firefox crash
by Rodrigo
Sometimes Firefox crashes without any messages or log, and it is a very
annoying problem. Does anyone have this problem? I have read that it
could be a problem of X.org or Official Nvidia Driver, but I has not
find any solution.
My specs: Geforce 6600GT AGB, pentium IV, 1024 MB Ram, Fedora Core 3,
Firefox 1.0.2
> Name : firefox Relocations: (not relocatable)

RE: trying to setup for a remote installation
by bruce
ok...
in order to do a remote FC3 installation, using vnc, it appears that i need
to create a floppy bootdisk, copy a kickstart file to it, place the FC3 ISOs
on a HTTP server, and add the required VNC commands to the bootloader of the
kickstart file.
is this anywhere close to being correct...
1) create the floppy bootdisk
(use rawwrite, and copy the boot.img file to the a: floppy)
2) edit the ks.cfg (kickstart file) with the correct parameters
3) copy this file to the top/root of the floppy drive..
4) copy the FC3 ISO files to the correct location of the http server
(http:/foo.com/FC3/) the FC3 dir contains the FC3 ISO files... i assume
i should allow the files/index to be displayed from the browser...
5) within the ks.cfg file, i have a line for the 'bootloader'
bootloader --location=mbr --append="fff" <<<<<<<<<<<
(should i add the 'vnc' information here, to initiate the vnc connection
on the client server...
remember, i want to use vnc on my server to graphically install FC3 on
the
remote server...
6) or, should i modify the existing/targeted server's grub file, and add the
VNC attributes to the end of the
'kernel /vmlinuz... ' vnc vncconnect=192.168.1.4:5500
am i getting close to understanding what has to be done....
also, if i wanted to simply do all this remotely, and have the kickstart
(ks.cfg) file on the targeted harddrive, where would i copy it, and how
would i know what to use as the device 'linux=hd:<device>:file'? would i get
the device by doing a 'df' to see what the device names are, using the
actual device name, and not the mounted name....

Subject: trying to setup for a remote installation
hi...
new to setting up kickstart for remote installation.
here's what i'd like to do. i'd like to be able to remotely access a server,
and use VNC to graphically go through the fedora installation process. the
server currently has RH8 on it.
as we understand it, you can place the FC3 isos on a HD on another system,
and access the isos via the kickstart file. however, our questions have to
do with how/what to do to implement what we're trying to do.
so.. our questions...
-can we do what we want to do, allowing us to use VNC
-can the kickstart file be created, and placed on the targeted system's HD.
-if the kickstart file can be placed on the targeted system's HD, where
should
it go?? (what dir should it be placed in...)
-would the targeted kickstart file have the VNC 'hooks' in the kickstart
file
-would this allow us to use VNC to then graphically install FC3 on the
targeted system
any help/ideas/opinions/comments would be helpful...
we don't want to somehow screw this up!!

FC4 - Live CD Availability
by Bob Palank
Any ideas as to how long after FC4 is released will a bootable FC4 bootable
CD be available ?
You simply put the cd in a boot up FC4. This would be an excellent tool for
those students in a Linux course.

i have removed all old kernel from the machine... but i guess 2.4 kernel
and early 2.6 were where it worked great... sorry i don't remember

Fedora, ALSA and MIDI OH MY! (Theme to lions, tigers, and bears, oh my!)
by Dan Thurman
Folks,
Is it me or does Fedora have a real problem when
it has to deal with Sound cards?
I cannot for the LIFE OF ME figure out WHY is FEDORA
IMPOSSIBLE getting sound to work!?!?!? I can get
my CDROM to play music -- and wave files, etc but...
MIDI is one of those simple things that *should*
be working but alas -- no -- it is not simple...
it is said not to work very well....
I have tried a cheap Yamaha YMF-724F (DS-1) and a not-so-cheap
Creative Labs, SoundBlaster LIVE card and there is no way in
h$ll I can get midi to work for either cards!?!?!? I cannot
even figure out how to disable the KDE arts server since it
was removed from the KControl and so -- kindly -- how can I
disable it -- just in case it is preventing midi from working
right?
Yes, I scouraged goggle, AskJeves, etc. and it seems people
got these cards to work just fine on debian, Mandrake, Suze
but heck -- NOT ON FEDORA!?!? I tried this on FC-2 and FC-3.
Please, please, please, tell me -- how can I get MIDI to work?
I was told that for YMF-724F the following line should
be added in the /etc/modprobe.conf file:
options snd-ymfpci index=0 mpu_port=0x330
but -- nope! Does not work
As for the SB-Live card - no information how in what
to add to the modprobe.conf file....
Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Humbled....
