Router/firewall help
by Mike
I want to setup a stand-alone router/firewall using the latest Fedora
distribution. I re-built the kernel and modules, however I can't seem to
find any current references on how to setup the rest of the system to
function solely as a router/firewall.
This is probably a different resource, however I will ask: I want to put
the system on a flash and boot from it. Since flash is painfully slow I
want to run the system from ramdisk. Any direction on that front would
be also appreciated.
If this is of interest to others I will publish what I did to make this
work. The computer is a lightweight board; low power with no fans, 512mb
DRAM, two Ethernet chips, USB and a bootable 1GB flash.
If someone could point me in the right direction I'd be grateful.

supporting linksys pcmcia card under FC6?
by Robert P. J. Day
i'm trying to build a kernel from the absolute latest "git" pull of
the kernel source tree that will have functioning networking on my
laptop. the setup:
dell inspiron 9200
linksys etherfast 10/100 cardbus pc card
FC6 with all the updates
networking works great under the latest FC-updated kernel
(2.6.19-1.2911.fc6), and i was sure that this card uses the "tulip"
driver. but with the latest kernel source, i did a "make defconfig",
then added the tulip driver as a module but ... nothing.
given that setup above, is there something obvious i'm missing?

But when I want to check hypervisor capability set in this server:
# cat /sys/hypervisor/properties/capabilities :
nothing to me, so should I discare it? or the server couldn't support
full virtualization
capaility, even CPU is right one, is it?
Thanks a lot,

DMA on optical drive
by Michael Klinosky
I've been trying to trobleshoot a problem with optical disk drives on 3
computers (all FC6, all different brands of drives) - they won't burn
CDs. Actually, I had this with FC5 and SUSE 10.0 also.
With a bit of research (on bugzilla), I have the notion that it might be
due to DMA.
How do I turn off DMA to a particular drive?
Is there a possibility that the drives can't do DMA? Or that they need
to be configured?

delta rpm for yum. is it in the works?
by Valent Turkovic
If this has already been discussed sorry for my lack of knowledge.
I probably had to write this a year ago, but I hoped that it would happen in
Fedora Core 6. When it didn't I was surprised and shocked!
SuSE, Fedora and Mandriva use RPM packages, but Suse (mandriva adopted it
also) uses delta rpm packages for updated. Which is a GREAT solution for
updates because they are a fraction of the whole download. Even on a high
bandwidth ADSL line it takes a lot of time (and banddwidth) to download
Fedora updates. Delta RPMs are an extreme upgrade to standard updated so
please consider adopting it.
So I applaud you if this is already in the works for Fedora 7, and you get a
really, really strange look from me if it is not.
Thank you for all your effort for making Fedora a great distro it is!
Valent from Croatia.

Fedora Hardware Compatibility...
by Uchujin T.
Hi.. I was hoping that someone could point me towards the right direction...
I'm planning on building roughly 20 computers to run FC6 (or Fedora 7 when
it comes out)
I understand there are certain hardware compatibility issues, ie. graphic
cards, sound cards, etc.
Is there some kind of a list with 'Fedora-safe' hardware I could use when
shopping for parts?
I'm currently running FC6 on an iMactel and have had some trouble with
various things like 3d acceleration, wireless, isight, etc. but I understand
it wouldn't be quite this difficult if I wasn't using the iMac. I just want
to be extra careful before spending what little money I have. ^_^ And I
would really love to have 3d acceleration working on all machines!
Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

zdump - where is it?
by Temlakos
Where is zdump? I've typed that command several times, as an ordinary
user and as root, and all I get is:
"bash: command not found"
Where is that command located, and how can I call it?
Or any other time-zone-related command?
