Simple words transfer
by Karl Larsen
Forever, it seems, if you select a group of words from one device
like a web page, you can then transfer them to a email. I have used this
a lot and now it has stopped!
Now when I try to do this a panel comes up with Undo to Select All.
It looks like the panel from Edit.
How do you fix this?

FC7 install on IBM 8-way w/ 16GB RAM
by Rob Fegley
Hello list-
I was able to take a few Netfinity 8500Rs from my old job as they had reached full depreciation and were headed to the dumpster. These are 8-way P3 Xeon 700MHz machines, with 16 GB RAM, a measly 4MB S3 video (won't take another video card), and two hot-swap U160 SCSI trays for which I had some 73.4 GB drives laying around. My hopes are to build up with FC7 to run Xen or VMWare to host a few VMs including one to run DynaMIPS to support my virtual Cisco lab for my CCIE studies. So, I've played with the FC7 Live CDs and am able to run DynaMIPS fine emulating (so far) 16 Cisco 3640 routers (woo hoo!), but it's only recognizing 4GB RAM of 16 installed.
Question #1
-----------
So, I read in the FC7 relnotes that I may need to run a PAE-capable kernel and am wondering if that will be an install option or will I need to do an rpmfind or yum install or have to compile it from a tarball?
I've been dabbling since RH5.1, 6.3, 7.3, FC1, FC2, and FC4, as well as Solaris, LEAF, Slax, Knoppix, and others, but my hesitance now is that I've never run any of these on any enterprise-class hardware, although I've built a number of Dell, IBM, and HP/Compaq boxes for Windoze and know that there are many hoops to jump through to get all of the firmwares, BIOSes, and drivers loaded in the right sequence. Couple that with these boxes being end-of-life from IBM and fairly hard to find info and drivers for them.
Question #2
-----------
I am wanting to use an IBM ServerRAID 4M that I picked up on eBay to run a hardware RAID1, but only find that it's "supported" under RHEL3/4, some SCOs, Solaris, some Enterprise Calderas, Novell, and Windoze 2k/2k3. So, is it reasonable to assume that I may be able to trick FC7 into supporting the 4M under a RHEL driver?
Question #3
-----------
Will running the PAE kernel from Q1 limit me in any way from running Xen? It's probably likely that I may run into a licensing issue in having either VM scheme supporting this much RAM or this many CPUs.
Well, that's probably too much to ask for now, but thanks in advance for all responses!

Rob

I tried downloading the yum rpm from a update mirror and re-
installing it, but this doesn't seem to have help.
Alot of other things are acting weird too [can't compile Nvidia driver].
I also installed the last 2.6.23.1 kernel that was listed in yum
before this all started to go wrong.
If I can't get this fixed by next week, I'll just install a fresh
copy of F8 on this system.
Any ideas?
Thanx!

Kernel 2.6.23 & madwifi
by Renich Bon Ciric
I had trouble, when I upgraded to kernel 2.6.23, with madwifi. The
module didn't load nor was loadable with modprobe.
Maybe there's some bugs on the kmod-madwifi package. Anybody had the
same?

Re: DHCP & DNS [OT]
by Steve Blackwell
As promised, here are the results of my experiments on putting a DNS server on my Linksys router.
After a little research I found the DD-WRT project (http://www.dd-wrt.com/) which looked like it would do what I wanted by using the DNS forwarder (DNSmasq) feature.
A quick read of the documentation makes you very aware of the term "bricking" your router, ie flashing the router firmware incorrectly, thereby totally and possibly irrecoverably breaking it. So after a second, thorough read of the documentation, taking the precautions of noting all of the current settings of the router and copying the online instructions to local files, I sucessfully flashed the router with the mini version of the DD-WRT firmware. There are warnings about only using IE to upgrade from the original Linksys firmware. The warnings may be out of date now, but I heeded them anyway. Once the DD-WRT firmware is installed, any browser can be used for futher upgrades. I got a scare at first because I couldn't log in to the router after I had upgraded. Then I remembered, that DD-WRT uses root as the default login instead of nothing.
Next, I configured the router according to my old settings and activated DNSmasq. Everything appeared to be working correctly. I could browse the internet from both my Fedora box and the Vista box. I could also ping the Vista box or the router from the Fedora box just by typing 'ping Vista' or ping DD-WRT.
I did manage to screw someyhing up while I was feeling very pleased with myself and poking around the various screens. The router somehow lost the host name of my Fedora box and I could no longer ping myself. I tried restarting networking, rebooting the router and rebooting the Fedora box with no luck. Eventually, I was able to get it back by creating a dhclient.conf file and putting a send hostname clause it in. It still worked when I deleted the dhclient file, so I don't really know what was happening there.
Now the only remaining problem was that the Windows box could not ping either itself, the router or the Fedora box. I found the answer in the DNSmasq FAQ. Apparently, Windows machines do not use DNS when looking up machine names that don't contain a '.', they just try to use WINS. This can be verified by typing 'ping my_local_machine' which will fail and 'ping my_loca_machine.' which suceeds. The solution is to set a domain name in the DHCP server and use the domain-required and expand-hosts options. The Windows machine must also be set up to use 'mydomain' DNS suffix for this connection. Now, when I type 'ping DD_WRT' from either the Fedora box or the Windows box, I get a response from host.mydomain. Here is the windows results:
C:\> ping DD-WRT
pinging DD-WRT.mydomain [192.168.1.1] with 32 bytes of data :
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64
Ping statistics for 192.168.1.1 :
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss)
Approximate round trip time in ms:
Minimum = 1ms, Maximum = 1ms, Average = 1ms
Now the only problem left, and it's not really a problem, just a curiousity, is that the Windows box cannot ping itself. I might try to update to the standard version of the firmware next weekend.
If anybody would like more details, just let me know.

Some people suggested putting the DHCP server on the Fedora box but it is usually not on during the day which would be a problem for the Windows box which usually is. I'm going to do a little research and see if I can put a DNS server on the Linksys.

Problems viewing .asp files
by Howard Howell
Hi, everyone,
I am having problems viewing ".asp" files. I don't get any errors in
logs or on screen, when I try to open them I get the message
"unrecognized file type".
I have googled, and searched the mailing list but didn't see anything
that would help. I did try removing and reinstalling python which was
the only suggestion I found that might apply, but that didn't help.
Can anyone point me to a reference of troubleshooting this issue or
know the fix?
Regards,

Hi my server hung, and when I checked the logs there's lots of nasty
