I am installing fedora core 5 on a g5 dual 2.7Ghz mac and shortly after starting
disk 1 the monitor goes blank and the HD runs like it is crunching alot of
info. Has anyone experienced this?

To get my linux box to mount from some other nodes
I had to add the "insecure" option to the /etc/exports
entry.
/home *.my.domain.com(rw,sync,insecure)
I cannot remember whether the Solaris 8 boxes were one of
the ones which required this parameter. The parm allows
the use of high numbered ports in the connection. Note
that you have to make sure the NFS version issues are dealt
with as mentioned in earlier posts.

Re: building from source for dummies?

I figure the first step is just getting the source rpm built so I can verify I can
build a radeon module that is equally broken as the one that comes with FC6
(broken for my monitor, that is).
If I can get that build to work, I'm sure I'll be able to apply some of the
patches mentioned in the bugzillas and rebuild to see if I can get it working
better, but mostly I know nothing about unpacking and building source
rpms (especially of kernel modules like video drivers).
Here's my xorg bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8790
(with pointers to a probably related bug that has various patches).

Re: yum prob on lappy

Glad Craig got you on your way.
Had to find this because I had just done it and couldn't remember the
details. The updated repos are sent with the distribution so all you
have to do is fetch the file
fedora-release-6-4.noarch.rpm
Form a source such as
<http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/Fedor
a/RPMS/fedora-release-6-4.noarch.rpm>
It will update the yum.repos.d file with the updates as xxx.repo.rpmnew.
>From there you can make your fixes as you like them.

fetchmail and not delivering cc + bcc mail
by Gregory Machin
Hi
Please could you advise.
I have fetchmail / sendamil running on a server that collects mail
every 15 min, but it seems that the mail address in the cc and bcc are
not being delivered to the user's boxes and going to the catch all
box.
What could be wrong ...

fixing amarok ???
by Kim Lux
I used amarok as my player in FC4. It worked great with the flac files
I have.
I am VERY disappointed to see that the FC6 upgrade UNINSTALLED amarok !
I installed amarok 1.4.3 with yum install amarok, but there are
problems !
1) it crashes frequently
2) it doesn't play mp3 and flac files !
Anyone have a quick solution for these issues, like an fc6 rpm that
doesn't crash and will play mp3 and flac files ?

FC6 - sort
by Dave Martin
So, what happened to the sort command?
>sort -f 4 -d ' ' foo
sort: open failed: 4: No such file or directory
>sort +4 foo
sort: open failed: +4: No such file or directory
That's going to break a lot of scripts.

Nobody believed that I could build a space station here. So I built it anyway.
It sank into the vortex. So I built another one. It sank into the vortex.
The third station burned down, fell over then sank into the vortex. The fourth
station just vanished. And the fifth station, THAT stayed!

camstream
by Eric Tanguy
I thought camstream was available in fedora core or extras i don't
remember but i found nothing. I tried to rebuild the one available for
FC3 from dries repo but the build process stoped with error. Is there
somewhere camstream available for fc6 or an equivalent soft ?
Thanks
