Questions about Fedora Core 4
by Nathan Low
To Whom It May Concern:
Does Fedora configure all my hardware like my cd rw writer/dvd player, hp 2100c scanner, hp 3322 color inkjet printer,, video card, monitor, my siemens 4100 dsl modem? Can Fedora detect my sbc dsl internet service? Can Fedora activate my scanner? Since my printer has a cd to install my printer software, can it be compatible if I have the Crossover Office Standard 5.0? I have a Logitech Mouseware 9.41.1 trackball with the windows compatible cd and I need to know if its compatible.
If I saved my favorite websites on cd under windows xp, can I copy it and paste it to Fedora & Fedora compatible web browser? Is it possible I can download Windows Media Player 10, Adobe reader, Cyberlink PowerDVD 4.0, System Mechanic, Complete Cleanup, Norton Goback 3.0, Norton Utilities 2002, and McAfee Internet Security 8.0? If I can't download these Windows programs using Crossover Office Standard 5.0, does Fedora have similar programs? Does Fedora have a disk defragmentor program, anti virus program, anti spyware program, and a firewall program? If a web page requires windows media player, is it possible I can play the audio or video on a Fedora compatible media player?
If I go to http://www.turbotaxfortheweb.com to file my taxes, will it work? With this website, I don't need to download any programs.
Can I copy my photos from my cd that I saved under windows xp and transfer it to Fedora? If I can't transfer my photos to Fedora, does Fedora come with free programs for me to scan, edit, and save my photos?
Please respond. Thanks.

US Language dictionary and OOo
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Is there any way that I can switch off US English from being the default
dictionary - it's annoying the crap out of me and the option is greyed
out (which it shouldn't be IMO) under options so I can change it that
way.
TTFN
Paul

Correct on both counts. The checkbox is found by selecting the eth0
device and editing. The Bugzilla entry is 164426.

Why questions don't get answered, or "No, I've already RTFM, tell me the answer!"
by Charles Howse
I'd like to start a calm, respectful, reasonable discussion of the reasons
that we tell people to RTFM, or reasons that people don't get their
questions answered on mailing lists and usenet groups.
I'm not complaining about anything or anybody, just wanting to start some
discussion which might lead to more answers and less 'noise'.
No one has been disrespectful to me, don't get the wrong idea.
I personally am a former Microsoft Certified Professional in NT Server 4.0,
have used operating systems including, PC DOS, MS DOS, OS/2 Warp, all
flavors of Windows through XP Pro (except ME, which sucked sooo bad), Linux,
FreeBSD, and currently, Mac OS X Tiger.
I've administered networks consisting of hundreds of workstations and dozens
of servers, installed lans and wans from scratch, taught Windows operating
systems, software and networking.
I feel that might just barely qualify me as knowing a little about
computers, and I say that seriously...'a little'.
There are a lot of things I don't know, and when I run out of research
options, or get frustrated when all the troubleshooting solutions don't
work, I'm heading for usenet or a mailing list, because time after time,
that has been the resource that provided the solution. A wise man once told
me, "Someone out there has solved that problem, you just have to find them."
I don't really know where to start, so here are some random thoughts...
Maybe I got told to RTFM because I missed something in it? Well, could you
just politely point me to the section I missed, please? Or give me a link
to a howto or some html page where it is explained?
Maybe the question has been answered in the FAQ for the list? Just point me
to it, you don't have to say anything else.
I've seen lots of posts to this list and others with no subject or a subject
that has nothing to do with the question, but the question was answered
respectfully. So, when I post with a good subject, one that will show up in
a Google search, help me out.
Many lists and groups regularly autopost the guidelines for posting, FAQ,
and relevant howto pages, point me to those when necessary.
Someone used the phrase 'spoon feed' recently. I don't remember who, nor is
it important, but what's wrong with a spoon full of sugar now and then?
And why would you ignore a reasonable question unless you don't know the
answer?
I think the members of this list are mostly doing things the way I would
like to see them done, but I also think we could all do better, eh?
I don't mean to step on any toes, just want to start some discussion.
Does anyone else have any thoughts on why questions don't get the respectful
treatment they deserve?

Thanks,
Charles

Another newbie question
by Craig Cameron
I'm still putting together my router/firewall, and it's going, but very
slow.
The problem this time is the document I'm using advises to put the following
code in the startup script for the interfaces.It's supposed to be for
spoofed packekts:
For x in lo eth0 eth1
Do
Echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/${x}/rp_filter
Done
The only startup script I can find that brings up the interfaces is:
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S10network
Is it safe to add the above code to this file, or is there another script I
should be modifiying. And yes I will make a backup of the original first.
Thanks.

Very interesting! Which ones? Where are they discussed? Above all,
are they important for power desktop users?
