Can I access the harddrive using liveCD
by frank wang
Hi,
I wonder whether I can access the hard drive from liveCD. My machine
has winXP installed and I want to access the text file using liveCD.
However, I could not see the drive.
Thanks

F7 and WLAN on Sony
by SternData
I've enabled Network Manager via chkconfig and rebooted. The system
sees the built-in wireless but it will not connect to my network secured
with WPA2. It spins for a while then gives up. What's the trick to this?

Probably you have Windows Vista installed also.
Try a full stop and removing the power cable, after booting in windows.
It works for my Compac with the same damn alsa driver.
I am not saying it will work for you, but you can try.

F7 thinks I got SCSI disks.
by Erik P. Olsen
After having booted the F7 installation DVD and entered my language and keyboard
choices I get a warning box saying I got more than 15 partitions on /dev/sdb
and that the SCSI subsystem in the Linux kernel does not allow that.
The are two problems in this. First: I do not have SCSI disks on my system, I
have two IDE disks of 120 GBs each. Secondly: I have 16 partitions on /dev/hdb
which have never posed any problem for me, in fact I have /var on /dev/hdb16 and
my FC5 has be rock stable.
If I continue on from this warning it correctly identifies the two Linux systems
but incorrectly places them on SCSI devices (/dev/sdb5 and /dev/sdb13). And I
dare not continue any further.
My intention is to remove FC3 and install F7 in its place while keeping FC5 as
my primary system until F7 is ready for production. What sort of risks may I
expect if I go on with the installation? Will it eventually break down when it
realises that the disks indeed are not SCSI disks? Or is there a way to tell
anaconda what sort of disks it really is?

Thanks for the offer. However, I have a question concerning the
selection criteria.

How does this offer reconcile with this announcement from Mike McGrath on
eliminating those very same email addresses?
See https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2007-April/msg00004....
I actually prefer not having such an email address, as I use Gmail for all my
correspondence.

Bluetooth Wireless Mouse
by Thomas Paine
I have my bluetooth wireless mouse working with my laptop, but the
scroll wheel doesn't seem to work.
I thought that I should check my xorg.conf file and see if it had the
zaxis thing in there, but it being bluetooth, I don't see much info in
there for that.
Anyone know where I can get this to work?
Thanks
