Will it cause Java problem in FC4
by Wong Kwok-hon
Hello!
After I installed the JAVA JRE as followed from Installation Notes of
FC4. But following messages displayed for JRE which displayed only the
1.4.2 is best but I am tested ok in sun.com which displayed 1.5-06.
Did I missed some setting ? Or any affect on using java programs ?
Thank you.

Solution on using serial port mouse in Fedora Core 4
by Wong Kwok-hon
Hello all,
I found that the Fedora Core 4 is only can use USB mouse and failed to
reconfigure to use serial mouse such as using COM1-4. I found from the
other board and tested it is work as follows:-
Quote started
====================
Here is what I do to fix for FC4 (both x86-32 and x86-64) for serial mice:
1. Log into console or text mode as root.
2. Run mouseconfig - set up for serial mouse, ignore any error messages.
3. Use your favourite editor to open /etc/sysconfig/mouse
4. The last line should contain /dev/mice - change this to /dev/ttyS?
where the question mark refers to the port your mouse is plugged
into.
5. Save /etc/sysconfig/mouse
6. Run service gpm start and when you go back to X (Gnome / KDE) the
mouse should work.
=================
Quote ended
#Note the gpm cannot restart after mouseconfig done and just work
after reboot as I tried.
And I wonder why the author didn't fix the problem permanently so need
to fix it manually.
Hope that can help other people.

networking initskripts
by Boris Glawe
Hello,
The configuration for networkinterfaces is kept in
/etc/sysconfig/networking/.
in profiles/default/ and in devices/ there are two identical files for
each device.
Why is the configuration for a networkinterface stored twice?
Here's what I am going to do:
I'd like to manually add configuration files to many clients. Each
client needs an additional interface, though it has only one physical
interface. Thus I'd like to add "eth0:1" as a virtual interface.
Is it correct to only copy a file containing the approriate
configuration called "ifcfg-eth0:1" to
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices? Or do I also have to copy the file to
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/?
thanks in advance!

Re: Generic Install
by Todd Simi
Really, my CPU is an Intel Pentium 4 D. It's a newer Dual Core Pentium 3.0Ghz processor. I'm running Fedora FC4 x86_64 and FC5t2 x86_64. My friend has an older Pentium ( II I think ). I'd like to load a hard disk for him with Fedora 32bit so all he has to do is replace his hard drive.
I just need to know if a fresh install from my machine onto a hard drive ( that I install on my machine for the install ) will likely run when he installs it into his. His machine has a pretty plain vanilla IDE interface, as does this drive.
Thanks
Todd

e-mail and web safety
by Michael D. Berger
Now that I have FC4 up and running, and have
been successfully using pan for newsgroups,
I have been considering using FC4 for routine
e-mail and web browsing. But on my win2k I
have Norton Antivirus and ZoneAlarm anti-
spyware. What corresponding protections are
available for FC4? What are the risks? I
note that I have iptables, but I do not
think that this will be sufficient
Thanks in advance for your help.
Mike.

That's my understanding. But AMD produced a processor called
the 586, which is a 486 class processor.

AIUI, it cannot.

Old 486 computer & external CD reader advice needed
by Thomas Taylor
Hi All:
I've got an old 486 computer (Dolch PAC). It's what was called a
semi-portable computer - requires AC power. It's housed in a ruggedized case
and the only media it can use is a built-in floppy drive. It has two serial
ports (mouse is on one) and a parallel port. It also has a network port,
supposedly 10 MHz, but I haven't been able to get it working. The bus
structure is ISA with room for two cards.
It currently has Windbloze 95 on it. I would like to replace that with FC4
but don't have a way to do it currently. I was thinking of getting one of
the CD-ROM external devices that uses the parallel port for communication
(called a backpack originally). There are a couple of these on ebay but I'm
not sure if it would work as the BIOS doesn't allow booting from anything
except the floppy or hard drive.
Anyone got a suggestion?
Thanks,
Tom
