Availability of ALSA devices from non-console sessions
by Juan Carlos Castro y Castro
I see that ALSA devices are only available from the local X server and
from the text consoles (tty[1-6]). I would like to be able to access
ALSA devices from processes running under a VNC session started with
vncserver. Is that possible?
Thx,
Juan

What gets put inside the brackets?

So [] always means kernel thread, or sometimes? Usually? Kernel thread
until proven innocent?

How did you figure this out? What documentation could I consult to
find this answer myself?
The actual answer to the question is less important to me than
learning how to find the answer.
Thanks,
Dave

Feature Request : canned minimum
by Beartooth Sciurivore
Didn't anaconda use to include an option to do a minimum install?
Iirc that there was such a thing, I'm sure there were reasons for
dropping it. (I can imagine one : my minimum may not be your minimum.)
However, with half a dozen variations on the sub-notebook
computer coming on the market, there is bound to be an increased need.
Case in point : I have F8 installed, booting,, and connecting on
an EeePC with a 4 GB hard drive -- using, admittedly, install to an 8 GB
thumbstick, helped along by a 4 GB SD memory card.
However, I'm going to have to do a *lot* of pruning to get it
down to something usable -- an inordinately tedious job, even with pirut.
I keep hitting dependency hells, and sometimes consequences that would
remove something I need to keep -- such as saving my gnome-session from
login to login.
Wouldn't it be easier, for those who try to do the like, to start
from bones as bare as even the experts could get them, and add in
necessities -- rather than the way it is now?
I don't really need to know all that gnome-session depends on, or
all that depends on it. I just need to know how much space it will cost
to add it and its dependencies if I *don't* have it, and so on for other
apps, till I can tell whether I'll be able to run Fedora at all on a
given new tiny machine.
I don't know whether the feature is feasible, much less why or
why not; but I'd sure be glad of *some* easier way.

mail or Mail
by tony.chamberlain@lemko.com
If I want a linux machine (remote site) to be able to send mail or Mail to me
(tony.chamberlain(a)lemko.com) what do I need to do to configure it?
On some machines I can do a Mail tony.chamberlain(a)lemko.com and type a message
and hit ctrl-d or . and I actually get the message, but from other machines I don't.

Re: Fedora will not boot to GUI
by John BORIS
Success. Thanks to Leo and a few others I was able to install the
openchrome dirvers. The only issue I have now is getting the resolution
up to 800 x 600 or something other then 640 x 480. From the Gnome
Desktop it only gives me the one resolution. So it is back to search the
docs on how to get it there.
Thanks again to everyone that helped.

Verizon EVDO 5750 Broadband Card
by max
I originally started this under the Archive Search thread but i wanted to
put in an appropriate subject line.
I was having trouble getting the Verizon EVDO 5750 Broadband Card to work.
There are several how to's out there but some are, of course, different from
others. The one that set me sailing was :
http://www.linux.com/feature/52729
This article uses the 5740 but taking that into account in the initial
steps, all the scripts that follow worked as is.
Thanks again for the suggestions and links.

Best way to upgrade from FC5 to FC8
by Cassian Luppu
Hi all,
I´m using FC5 in one of my desktop computers. Yes, I do know it is pretty
old-fashioned, and I´m about to upgrade to FC8.
I just wanted to ask you guys what is the best way to get it running with
the less problems possible, I know I´ll have to face some of then.
I guess that setting up the FC8 repositories and yum upgrade wouldn´t be the
best way, would it?
Thank you all very much in advance
