Help test "extras" installer
by Chris Smart
In case anyone's interested, please help me test the new Kororaa bash
"extras" installer script for Fedora. Essentially, I’ve merged the
original Flash and NVIDIA driver installers into a new bash script,
which also handles AMD’s fglrx driver. It supports KDE, GNOME as well
as console, and if you don't have the required repositories it can
configure these for you too.
It’s now ready for testing, so please test it out and let me know if
you have any problems!
wget http://kororaa.org/files/add-remove-extras.sh
chmod a+x add-remove-extras.sh
sudo ./add-remove-extras.sh
And feel free to fix my horrible bash, if you feel so motivated! ;-)
See http://ur1.ca/30a0g
Thanks,
Chris

FC14 Installation Hangs
I am on F13 and i try to preupgrade to F14.
My is a notebbok, Presario C750
no esotheric harware, then, and not so old, even if not a recent one.
I did preupgrade from F8, upgrading until F13 each time without any issue, w/out reinstalling.
After preupgrade finish to download packages, system restart and during restart it
hangs with black screen. I can see kernel boot but lines are very very fast.
This is /boot/grub/grub.conf
#boot=/dev/sda
default=1
timeout=25
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
# hiddenmenu

Fist question: is ok that under

there is no
root (hd0,0)
like in title Fedora (2.6.34.7-66.fc13.i686)?
should i add that line manually after title Upgrade to Fedora 14 (Laughlin)?
Second question:
i read Alan's suggetion
"Remove the 'quiet' add
irqpoll initcall_debug"
in previuos post; ok, should i add them to
kernel /upgrade/vmlinuz preupgrade [..]
line?
thnx for help

Asterisk kernel modules?
by Alex
Hi,
I have an FC14 x86_64 system and would like to install asterisk v1.6.
I've installed the following packages:
# rpm -qva |egrep 'asterisk|dahdi'
dahdi-tools-libs-2.1.0.2-10.fc14.x86_64
asterisk-1.6.2.12-0.1.rc1.fc14.x86_64
asterisk-voicemail-odbc-1.6.2.12-0.1.rc1.fc14.x86_64
dahdi-tools-2.1.0.2-10.fc14.x86_64
asterisk-voicemail-1.6.2.12-0.1.rc1.fc14.x86_64
asterisk-dahdi-1.6.2.12-0.1.rc1.fc14.x86_64
asterisk-sounds-core-en-1.4.20-1.fc14.noarch
However, there are no dahdi kernel modules. Does anyone know why this
is, and where they might be found?
I understand there is an additional atrpms repo available, but was
just wondering why fedora would have all but the most important piece
to make asterisk work?
What is the recommended method for getting it running on fc14?
Thanks,
Alex

putting "/tmp" to memory
by kellyremo
"to memory" means: mounting a ~2 GByte filesystem [ tmpfs?, or ramfs? ], and put the "/tmp" on it. [ e.g.: 4 GByte ram in the pc ]. what to write in the "/etc/fstab"?
I would like to collect the [ answers too:P ]:
Advantages:
- Memory is way faster then HDD/SSD, so it could speed things up
- "SSD amortization" is less
Disadvantages:
- Security? [ how to set this up to be secure? any clear howtos/links regarding it? :O ]
Really thank you for any good help...
