Fedora Core install problem on Tyan Thunder 2500 (S1867)
by Cokey de Percin
Has anyone successfully installed Fedora Core on this motherboard? If
so, did you have to do
anything special. All the installs I've tried hang about the time the
parallel modules are installed
just before anaconda starts. I've filed a bug report but have had no
reply. I've been running RH 7.3
for years without any problems and Suse gets past that point with no
problems.
Tnx
Cokey

How to turn on the find's -noleadf option?
by Wong Kwok-hon
Hello,
When I perform command "find / -name abc.txt -print" message "find:
WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for /proc: this may be a bug in your
filesystem driver. Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option.
Earlier results may have failed to include directories that should
have been searched." displayed.
Would someone tell me how to turn it on ?
Thanks a lot

JavaHL for FC3?
by D. D. Brierton
I'm trying to get subclipse (SVN support for Eclipse) working in Eclipse
3.1 on FC3, but I get errors trying to connect to some external
repositories using either JavaSVN or SVN command line. Colleagues here
are connecting without error using JavaHL but they are using Windows and
subclipse for Windows includes JavaHL whereas the Linux version doesn't.
As I'm fairly clueless when it comes to Java (and frankly am fairly
happy to stay that way) what is the most pain free way of installing the
JavaHL library on FC3?
TIA.
Best, Darren

how do you make the keyboard shortcuts work? (FC4)
by Tim
Hi,
Try as I might, I can't get any of the keyboard shortcuts to work that I
program into the "keyboard shortcuts" preferences Gnome GUI tool. I can
do something like change the print screen shortcut to also require the
shift key to be pressed, but if I wanted to add a shortcut for something
to open the web browser, for instance, nothing happens. Same goes for
things like volume controls, log out, etc. Is there some trick to this?
I can see it accepting the keys, so the keyboard does actually do
something when I press the keys I've picked (extra function keys on a
fancy keyboard). For example, I've tried the following, ineffectually:
Launch help browser <Shift><Control>w (original setting, but does nothing)
Log out 0xdf (does nothing)
Lock screen <Control>Break (does nothing)
Search 0xe5 (does nothing)
E-mail 0xec (does nothing)
Launch web browser 0xb2 (does nothing)
... panel run app ... <Alt>F2 (this works)
Show panel menu <Alt>F1 (this works)
Take screenshot <Shift>Print (this works)
Run a terminal 0xeb (does nothing)
and so on... Trying common keyboard keys, like control with F keys
doesn't work, for the above ones I've tried the extra special keys,
either.

Re: Monitoring file integrity with FC4 - Tripwire??
by James Babcock Hughes
I installed tripwire OK on various FC4 machines using the binary RPM
available via
yum at the extras depository. Naturally, you will need to select the
actual files you want
to watch in the configuration files as suits your system & applications,
and then run the
sundry initialization commands...
Try 'yum search tripwire' which should return
tripwire-2.3.1-22.i386.rpm
cheers

yum is extremely slow
by Alan E. Davis
My first few days with FC3 on a dual Opteron x86_64 system.
Yum is excruciatingly slow. Is this normal?
When doing
# yum update
yum grabs most of CPU in doing "Transition Test", the system bogs down, huge
lags.
Perhaps I've screwed things up by updating earlier? However, ever since I
got the machine, yum is very slow.
APT:
I tried to install apt, which is, as always, extremely responsive. But
apt-get offered to remove hundreds of packages, so I gave up on that.
I would appreciate any assistance in getting started on getting packages
into the system.

I found a web site that almost
says that UHCI is USB 1 only.
Is UHCI USB 1 only?

Is anyone packaging spamassassin-3.1.0 for FC3?
by D. D. Brierton
Is anyone packaging the new version of SpamAssassin for FC3? An awful
lot of spam is beginning to get past spamassassin-3.0.4. Alternatively,
how compatible with FC3 is the rpm built by doing
rpmbuild -tb Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.0.tar.gz
on the tarball available from spamassassin.apache.org as per the
instructions on the download page?
TIA.
Best, Darren

hotplug wireless driver
by Jim Li
i'm trying to figure out if fedora 4 has a hotplug driver for wireless
networks, ie. can anyone tell me if fedora accepts any wireless adapter? if
not, what type of wireless adapter is best suited for fc4? i'm going to be
moving to a new place where my landlord has a pre-n belkin router. he told
me i can buy any wireless G adapter for windows machines. i want to know if
that still holds true for linux, especially fc4 machines. i am really
clueless with wireless technology. any comments is appreciated.
