Our Leafnode How-To
by David Cary Hart
OK, I'm a usenet junkie. Leafnode (a tiny local news server) sits
between the LAN and the ISP's news server. It does lots of nifty things
in the background and provides an exquisitely simple, yet highly
effective, RegEx filter/killfile.
Maybe it's just me but Linux news clients don't seem to handle posts to
moderated groups very gracefully. When posting to NANAB, for example,
knode sort of hangs until it times out, showing the post as failed and
leaving it in the outbox. With leafnode, that problem is gone (or at
least not visible).
Leafnode is suitable as a stand-alone, to take advantage of the
filtering.
Anyway (FWIW): http://www.tqmcube.com/leafnode.htm
There are links to the RPM I compiled (the Fedora Extras RPM is
outdated) and a simplified configuration file (the distributed config
seems spectacularly disorganized).
Comments, suggestions, edits, raves and rants are certainly welcome OFF
LIST so that I'll actually read them. List traffic has been rather heavy
lately.

Tool to resize the NTFS partition.
by David Le
Hi,
I tried to use 'parted' utility of FC4 in rescue mode
to resize an NTFS partition, but it's not supported
that file system yet. I wonder if you know any
reliable and free software that I can use to resize
that partition.
Thanks,

Subject: LP->CD?
I have a lot of old interesting LPs which I would love to have on CDs.
If somebody knows a way to play an LP into the PC and subsequently burn
it to a CD I am very interested in learning how to do it.

FC4: How to capture a window's screen snapshot?
by David Le
Hi,
Running FC4, I want to capture a screen snapshot of a
displayed window and save it into a word document. I
tried Ctrl-PrintScreen to copy and paste it to Writer
Word processor as I did with Windows XP, but it didn't
work. Please let me know how can I do that?
Thanks,

firefox 1.0.1 and java
by Gerhard Magnus
Once I installed the new firefox 1.0.1 I lost the java runtime
environment I had finally been able to get working with firefox 1.0.
The "About Mozilla Firefox" window says I'm running "Firefox/1.0.1
Fedora/1.0.1-1.3.2". I assume this new version of firefox is using
files from the directory tree that starts /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1, which
means I need to make a symbolic link (using the ln -s command)
from /usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
to /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins. This is the same procedure I
successfully used before to make the link in
the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins directory.
For some reason this procedure is not working -- the new link
in /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins appears in red instead of blue. I've
tried deleting the link (using rm -r) from both
the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins and the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins
directories. Although they no longer show up (using ls -al) the link
creation (using ln -s) still gives a non-functioning link. Then when I
do a locate libjavaplugin_oji.so I get --
/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_06/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_06/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/java/jre1.5.0/plugin/i386/ns7-gcc29/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/firefox-1.0/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
which seems to be saying the links are still there in both firefox
directories! When I try ls -l on the /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1/plugins
directory I get:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Mar 6 16:51 libjavaplugin_oji.so ->
libjavaplugin_oji.so
flashing in red -- it looks like the link is linking to itself. Or
something.... Any suggestions on how to clean this up or at least to
hack through it further?

Want to Contribute to Fedora
by Marc Wiriadisastra
Well, here's how you do it. There is now a Fedora Mentors list which
will enable you to ask questions when you can't find answers on your
own. This is the how-to that helps you.
If you've read the documentation and are stuck on a particular problem,
this is where you ask. We have mentors ready and waiting to help.
So, what are you waiting for? Sign up, have a look, and get involved.
This is a great opportunity for you to get involved.
If you don't know what you want to do, have a look at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/HelpWanted to get some ideas.
Once you find what you are interested in, join the Mentors mailing list
at https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-mentors-list and read
the documentation on the project's page. After that, you're ready to
start contributing.
We want your help to improve Fedora, so get involved in Extras,
Documentation & Translation, Bug Triaging, Marketing, Artwork or Legacy.
You're welcome to choose how you would like to help, and you can
contribute in as many ways and with however much time you are
comfortable with. Any help is good, and you don't have to make any
permanent commitments. Even just an occasional few hours is helpful.
Have a look at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mentors for more
information.
We look forward to your (continued) participation.
Big Thanks,
The Fedora Mentors Team
