Please Help Me Installing Fedora 14
by Shin Seung Won
Hello.
I'm a student in Korea, and I'm in sixth grade.
I'm not good at English, so please understand :)
I have a DVD which Fedora 14 Installing ISO is burned, and I have a computer.
CPU : Intel i5-2300
Motherboard : ASUS P8H67-M LX
HDD : SATA3(6Gbps) 500GB
VGA : NVIDIA GT240
And when I finish setting BIOS Booting Priority(Thanks to GUI BIOS), I put the DVD.
'Welcome to Fedora 14!' On the screen, and I selected the first menu(Install or upgrade existing ~~).
I have installed Fedora 14 in my old computer, so I have seen the GUI Installing screen,
but first, there was black background and white characters,
saying something like 'limiting link to 1.5 ~~', 'failed to resume link', 'link is hard to ~, please be patient'(I can't memorize it).
After some minutes, it said 'Greetings.' and something.
Now, the screen turned blue, and there was a screen, but not GUI, and not CUI.
I could only use keyboard, and when I selected the language, it asked to select one from /dev/sda1,/dev/sda2,/dev/sda5.
I selected 'back', and I selected 'Local CD/DVD' because the installation image was there. But it said 'unable to find the ~~'.
And I tried to find the driver of my DVD multi drive(I tried to find 'TSSTCorp' or 'SAMSUNG') , but there wasn't.
How can I do?
Someone said me to 'linux dd' in 'boot>' and something, but I don't have the driver CD.
It seems that I have to install the SATA driver(for DVD drive), but the motherboard CD seems that it only supports Windows.
Please help me!

Anyone using a USB wireless dongle as access point on fedora?
by Tom Horsley
Everything I read tells me this may be possible with
hostapd (which I see is in the repos), but that you have
to have a wireless dongle that supports it, so I'm
hoping some folks have actual examples of working
product model numbers :-).
(I'm hoping I can provide a wi-fi connection for my
phone from my desktop at work).

Can't dual-boot Fedora 14 on new MacBook Pro?
by Charles Ulrich
Hello,
I'm trying to install Fedora (dual-boot) on a brand-new MacBook Pro.
The live/installer CD runs flawlessly on the machine, which was a nice
surprise. But after the install is completed, I cannot actually boot
into Fedora. Here is what I did:
1. OS X by default ships with an EFI partition (/dev/sda1) and an HFS+
partition (/dev/sda2). I used Boot Camp in OS X to resize the existing
OS X partition and reboot to the live CD.
2. Once the Fedora live CD is booted, I used the disk utility to
delete the "Windows" partition (/dev/sda3) that Boot Camp created.
This leaves the original EFI and OS X partitions plus a chunk (40G) of
empty space at the end of the disk.
3. Run the Fedora Installer, telling it to automatically partition and
install using the free space on the disk. It creates a 500M boot
partition (/dev/sda3) and an LVM partition (/dev/sda4).
4. When the installer gets to the part about the boot loader, I go
with the defaults, which is to install GRUB to the boot sector of the
Fedora boot partition (/dev/sda3).
After the install is complete, I would expect to be able to hold down
the Mac's "Option" key to choose which OS to boot since /dev/sda3 has
a boot sector, but only the OS X disk shows up. (What does Boot Camp
do, then, besides resizing the disk?)
I read somewhere that a boot loader called rEFIt would help, so I
tried that. I installed it using the instructions on the project's
website and rebooted. An option to boot Linux shows up in the rEFIt
boot screen, but when selecting it, I get a black screen with an error
message along the lines of "no operating system found."
Further research suggested that rEFIt had to "resync" in order to find
GRUB, even though I installed rEFIt after Fedora. I did that by going
into the rEFIt "menu" and answering in the affirmative when it told me
that a resync was necessary.
Now, when I select Linux in the rEFIt boot menu, it only shows a
gray-out penguin and nothing else happens. The lack of output makes
the problem difficult to troubleshoot exactly what's going wrong.
Maybe if I knew more about EFI, I could play around in the EFI shell
provided by rEFIt.
Anyway, has anyone here had success dual-booting Fedora 14 on a newer
Mac, and if so, what procedure did you use? I'd like to install Fedora
to the whole disk, but I'm reluctant to try that until I can get a
dual-boot scenario to work. I you could, please CC my email address in
any responses since I'm subscribed to the digest version of the list.
Thanks for your time.
Charles

Preupgrade questions
by Beartooth
Iirc, preupgrade (which I've been pleased with in the past) won't
do anything, or at any rate won't install F15, until that is officially
released; right?
Also, I have a couple of odd minor issues on different PCs,
relating to metacity a/o the monitor (HP w2207h) a/o the KVM switch
between my PCs and the peripherals.
Even with F15 abandoning metacity, and possibly also whatever is
causing the other minor issues, my guess is that I'll be better off doing
all fresh installs this time, except perhaps on one brand new PC.. In
fact, I'm already in process of copying all my data to an external USB
hard drive.
I'm copying my home directory, /etc, /usr/bin (though not /bin), /
usr/sbin, and /usr/share from each PC. Are those the ones I need? (Are
any of them superfluous?)
Fwiw, I''ve always done a lot of minor tweaking after each fresh
install, getting two panels and an assortment of launchers into the
places where my fingers can call them without my conscious attention; I'd
like to skip that, if F15 and Gnome3 will let me.

Dang! DVD printing busted again...
by Tom Horsley
I don't print DVDs often enough to notice when it first broke,
but I can't print them with fedora 14:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=699241
If I boot my old fedora 13 partition, it works fine
with the same hardware.
Could be anywhere from the Qt libraries to cups or hplip.
I hate trying to figure these out.
Maybe I'll just leave my old fedora 13 partition around
till the printer dies and always boot it to print
a DVD :-).

UPnP monitoring
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I *think* I might be having trouble with UPnP. It's enabled on my router
but qbittorrent says it can't see any UPnP-enabled routers. This used to
work so I'm not sure what might have changed.
Is there anything I should look at in iptables? Are there any tools for
checking UPnP-related issues?
