mknod: fail to create...
by Issac Newton
When I booted up, and most likely everytime I booted my Fedora Core 4
Test 3 partition, it stated:
mknod: failed to create /dev/console
mknod: failed to create /dev/null
mknod: failed to create /dev/zero
Any suggestions or explanations? I am sure these 'fails' are not
disturbing anything that I do on Fedora, I just wanted to see why.
Thank you,
Ice

Failing drive?
by Ashley M. Kirchner
Someone with more knowledge about these things please tell me if I'm
looking at a failing drive, or something else. SMART hasn't reported
anything on the drive (in fact, it thinks the drive is in perfect health
when I do a manual check.)

Removing old kernels with yum?
by WipeOut
Hi,
How do I remove old kernels with yum??
If I do a..
# yum list "kernel*"
I get..
Installed Packages
kernel.i686 2.6.10-1.741_FC3 installed
kernel.i686 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 installed
kernel.i686 2.6.10-1.760_FC3 installed
kernel.i686 2.6.11-1.14_FC3 installed
kernel.i686 2.6.11-1.27_FC3 installed
kernel.i686 2.6.9-1.678_FC3 installed
kernel.i686 2.6.9-1.667 installed
kernel.i686 2.6.10-1.737_FC3 installed
kernel-smp.i686 2.6.9-1.667 installed
kernel-smp.i686 2.6.10-1.760_FC3 installed
kernel-smp.i686 2.6.11-1.27_FC3 installed
kernel-smp.i686 2.6.10-1.737_FC3 installed
kernel-smp.i686 2.6.10-1.741_FC3 installed
kernel-smp.i686 2.6.11-1.14_FC3 installed
kernel-smp.i686 2.6.9-1.678_FC3 installed
kernel-smp.i686 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 installed
kernel-utils.i386 1:2.4-13.1.49_FC3 installed
So if I try..
# yum remove kernel.i686
it wants to remove all of them..
I have tried specifying the version a couple of ways but then it doesn't
find anything to remove..
So how do I do it?
Thanks

WEB Cam Server
by Amichai Rotman
Hi All,
I would like to setup a WebCam server for a relative of mine who
started a kindergarden.
He wants to be able to see who is comming / passing outside for
security and ID purposes.
I thought I could install some WebCam server distro on an old PIII
machine, connect a couple of USB WebCams to it, hook it to a broadband
internet connection and - presto !
I thought it would be cool to offer the parents to take a peek at
their kids while theyŕe napping...
Any suggestions?
* Hardware Configuration (WebCams, PC)
* Distro, Software...
* Tips / Tricks / Pitfalls
Thanks,
