Network Places
by Michael McGillick
Hi:
Windows Vista offers a concept called a network place that lets me map a Web address to a folder. When I open the folder, I'm prompted for a username and password, but can then use the folder just like any other folder on my local system. Does anyone know if Fedora 7 or Linux itself offers a feature similar to this? Thanks.

Crude way to figure this out: Presuming that they don't all have
identical set-ups. Note what your options are in the boot menu, see
which grub.conf file has the same ones. That's the one being paid
attention to.
=================
Thufir,
if you are still confused on this:
try adding cosmetic changes to the titles in both grub.conf
but different changes in each.
Then reboot
your splash screen will show you which one is being used.
Jack

Fedora 7 vs wxPython
by Martin
Hi - I am running an up-to-date Fedora 7 system with the
wxPython-2.8.3.0-1.fc7 package. Everything works as normal, but when I
run a Python app., I get the following warning on my terminal:
DeprecationWarning: The wxPython compatibility package is no longer
automatically generated or actively maintained. Please switch to the wx
package as soon as possible.
There is no "wx package" as such, so I'm wondering if this is a Fedora
packaging issue or if I actually need to be migrating to some other
arrangement.
TIA,
Martin

Chance's are that Mikkel is correct but it's whichever disk has an
"active partition" (bootable) and that will be found first given the
boot order set in the BIOS. Chances are that this is sda. Confirm your
BIOS boot order says to try sda first and that the partition containing
/boot on that drive is active. If you wanted to, you could have grub on
sdb controlling booting by adding the F7 and W2K partitions to it's
grub.conf and running grub-install under FC3 with the correct incantations.
The BIOS checks boot devices in the order specified through the BIOS
setup. When it finds the first device that meets the criteria given
through setup, the BIOS reads, loads and then executes some (fairly
trivial) code on the same sector that holds the partition table. This
code reads the partition table and looks for an active partition. The
MBR of the active partition is loaded and executed. This is where grub
gets installed so this will hopefully be grub which then finds your
grub.conf and does whatever you have specified.
As an example, the boot device on my server (CentOS 4.5) is /md3 (RAID 1
mirror) that consists of /dev/hde and /dev/hdg but I've told the BIOS to
use those drives instead of /dev/hda.
Cheers,
Dave

Re: FC6 boot issue - please help
by Parth Pathak
Hi Karl,
after finding for atleast 8 hours, I figured out its selinux.
I am sure updates included 23 packages and one of them was for selinux (for sure).
with rescue CD, I tried disabling selinux from /etc/selinux/config file and I was able to reboot it successfully.
but when I enable selinux (permissive of enforcing) and try rebooting, it stops at reboot with the same error.
I believe selinux tries to label the filesystem at startup and fails to do so hanging the reboot to.
this machine is public network sometimes and I cant afford to have security disabled by selinux.
How should I move ahead? I looked into selinux problems on net but there is no pointer to such thing.
one more question?? am I mailing in the right group? I mean it looks like I am the only newbie here and there may be some other group of fedora where starters like me can actually interact without disturbing others.
thanks for reply,
regards
parth

It sounds like something you downloaded messed up the file system.
Did you try using Control-D and what happened?
If you can remember what you downloaded it might help.
The rescue disk lets you mount your system to the small system on
the CD. Then you can go to your system and change things. I just looked
at my fstab and I may have a problem too :-) The swap files look wierd.
There are some applications you can run that clean up a file system.
Been a few years since I had to do that. It is like e2fstak or something
like that and it will be on the rescue disk

I don't see a port there. Did you leave it at the default? (22) Try
iptables -nL and you should see the ssh port.
I've gone a few rounds with ssh, trying to figure out why it wouldn't
work when I changed the port (in the config files) - turns out the
firewall has to be configed, also.

Does a prelinked file size remain static
by John Horne
Hello,
I have been trying to find out if a prelinked files size always remains
the same. Some simple testing of unprelinking and then prelinking a file
seems to indicate that the eventual size of the file does remain the
same. I know that the files MD5 hash value, its inode number, and some
other file attributes change, but I was wondering about the file size.
Whilst the file does change size when going from unprelinked to
prelinked (or vice-versa), once it is prelinked it then seems to remain
the same regardless of how often the file is re-prelinked.
Anyone any comments?
Thanks,
John.
