I successfully installed some days ago f9 x86_64 this way on a laptop:<br>
- on F9 x86 server I have f9_x86_64.iso file and mount it as a loop<br>
device; then I export the mounted path via nfs<br>
- on laptop I install f9_x86_64 via nfs.<br>
<br>
Note that in my case I used an usb key as boot device for the laptop.<br>
For doing that I had to use the diskboot.img from f8 and then<br>
overwrite kernel and initrd with what provided in boot.iso of f9.<br>
I also had to delete the splash image because the new files didn't fit<br>
on the size of the f8 media.<br>
But the installation went fine.<br>
<br>
I don't know if you can boot from usb, though....<br>

That's totally logical, but it's wrong for some cases. Here in Venezuela<br>
there is much better bandwidth to the US than to anywhere else in South<br>
America, so the "same continent" rule is not going to work for us. I<br>
suspect the same is true for some other SA countries.<br>
<br>
Also, for the relatively few people on Internet2 it's always better than<br>
Internet1, at least here. I mean Internet2 to anywhere is better than<br>
Internet1 to the same city.<br>

Not sure what you mean. Xfburn and gnomebaker just uses GTK. There is<br>
nothing desktop environment specific about them.<br>

Fedora user's group:<br>
<br>
I installed the PPTP VPN on a client to connect via pptpvpn to a server<br>
which is running it. I used pptpconfig to config the network. When I<br>
connect, the VPN runs fine. I looked in pptpconfig and saw it does a<br>
<br>
/usr/sbin/pppd call myserver logfd 1 updetach persist<br>
<br>
(I used "myserver" in this mail instead of the actual name). So I made a file<br>
/etc/init.d/pptpvpn where under start) I do the above (along with some checking,<br>
etc). This also works nicely, when I but (after chkconfig on) the VPN comes<br>
up and I can connect.<br>
<br>
Problem is, if somehow the pptp process dies, if it is in /etc/init.d it won't start up<br>
automatically again (which I need), so instead I transfered to /etc/inittab:<br>
<br>
vp:35:respawn:/usr/sbin/pppd call myserver logfd 1 updetach persist<br>
<br>
A "kill -1 1" or reboot will start this, but a ps just shows two processes with that<br>
but I can't ping. A few minutes later it shows two processes again but with new<br>
PIDs. Then a few minutes later two new processes with the same parameters<br>
(there are only 2 at a time). I can't ping anything on the VPN either (and I do<br>
add the routes in ip-up.local so from the /etc/rc5.d script it starts up the route).<br>
<br>
Anyway how can I either modify my script in /etc/init.d (linked to /etc/rc*.d) to respawn<br>
in the (unlikely but possible) case the process dies, or modify /etc/inittab to work<br>
correctly?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

I don't believe that it is normal to power down the device when ifdown is<br>
run. So the device will still flash is traffic is sent to it.<br>

You don't need to do that any more. Yum will skip the broken packages.<br>
(I don't think skip_broken is the default, so you probably want to add<br>
that option to /etc/yum.conf .)<br>

Things should be much better now. (THe change happened during the F9 rawhide<br>
period.) Only some file conflicts which are detected after the packages to<br>
be updated are selected, cause all updates to fail.<br>

The same is also true for Asia. I would hope that the "same continent" rule<br>
has a tad bit more smarts in it.<br>

Hmm ... Neat name, impressive command; but is there a way to make<br>
it usable by subtechnoids? Can I pipe the -xml or -html options into a<br>
browser, for instance? Or something into baobab for it to use as labels?<br>
<br>
Most recent example : I got the livna display configuration kmod-<br>
nvidia stuff, and it helped; but it didn't tell me whether to use the<br>
nvidia configurator or the livna one, or both; and the livna page warned<br>
me that I might have any of several cards.<br>
<br>
I'd like to check that last, and tackle it again. One of the old<br>
hardware browsers, iirc, would have enabled even me to find out what<br>
video card I have. (An electronic friend is kind enough to assemble<br>
machines to meet my budget, every year or three; but I never needed to<br>
know one video card from another -- till I got this blankety-blank new<br>
monitor ...)<br>

Running dual athlons using the i386 (or 686 depending the package) F9<br>
release (this is an x86_64 system), is there some services that need to<br>
be enabled for them to be maximized in their use? Things such as<br>
cpuspeed and such need to be on? In other words (and not that<br>
knowledgeable in this area), can you even tell if it's being used<br>
correctly, and if your just doing small things, such as checking email,<br>
browsing, those type things, is it used then as well, or more for when<br>
doing things like compiling one program, then doing all the other stuff<br>
like normal?<br>
<br>
Hope I worded my question right LOL<br>

Unfortunately, the OCR programs working in Linux are not very good<br>
yet. In case you have access to Acrobat Professional, use it instead;<br>
the results are usually excellent.<br>

Right, because if he was planning on installing a keylogger on the linux<br>
boxes in the local cybercafe, he would have been sure to tell us that and<br>
not make up some story about just using it on his machine to learn how to<br>
look for keyloggers other people had installed.<br>
