New extra packages...
by Nils Philippsen
... I put up in the last days at the usual location:
http://lisas.de/~nils/redhat/rawhide/ but didn't get around to announce:
- neverball-0.25.4-1: 3D ball balancing game, needs OpenGL, SDL_ttf
- BitTorrent-3.3-1: new, Swarming P2P download tools (built without
WxWindows GUI)
- conglomerate-0.7.4-1: new, very nice XML editor
- galeon-1.3.9-3: needed for Mozilla-1.4.1 (if you don't have it, don't
upgrade), SRPM includes "BuildRequires: nspr-devel" spotted by Michal
Ambroz <rebus(a)seznam.cz>
- dink-sdl-0.0.3: SDL port of the Dink Smallwood RPG engine, crashes a
lot, don't use ;-)
Enjoy,
Nils

CDs vs network install
by Michael Smith
Dear Group,
CDs are very usefull for me. I work at a university
and have high-speed access at work. I can download a
CD in only 5-6 minites, burn the CD, then work with
installing later when I have the time.

Severn test2 updates via RHN
by Elliot Lee
The 0.94 updates/rawhide channel should be populated and ready. You may
have to subscribe your system to it via the RHN web interface at
https://rhn.redhat.com/
As before, you'll need to have the rawhide key installed - to do this, do
'up2date -u fedora-release' after subscribing to the updates channel, and
then 'rpm -Uvh /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-0.94/RPM-GPG-KEY-rawhide'.

numlock at boot
by Paul Pianta
something that has been bugging me since i started working with linux
(but have learnt to live with it) is the fact that my numeric keypad is
not 'on' by default when i boot.
i have played around with numlock-x, and some other rc.local scripts
that will turn it on for tty's but not for X, etc. etc. - but i have had
my share of problems with each of them.
i just wanted to know if there is a technological barrier that is
preventing this feature from being introduced into 'Fedora/RedHat', or
is it because most people prefer (for some reason unbeknownst to me) to
have to manually turn on numlock everytime?
for me personally - i have never ever used the keypad keys without first
turning on numlock - therefore i don't see why it couldnt be a default
option - ie. default meaning that it is the option useful in the
majority of situations.
anyhoo - just wanted to throw the question out and see what comes back
p.s. - sorry for using 'unbeknownst' - i was feeling medieval 8)

INTEL SE 7505 VB2 won't boot
by Stephen Moore
I have a dual xeon computer with a intel 7505 motherboard that wont boot
with fedora test 2. I was running RH9 with a custom kernel (to speed up
sata) and am still running on this kernel 2.4.22 + fedora test 2.
I boot from a pata drive
/home is a raid 5 array
Test 2 fails after the start of the md startup ( 4 X SATA disks) and by
itself gives a kernel opps in raid5sync
I tried pci=noapic and noapic oarameters on bootup.
noapic seemed to make no difference
pci=noapic progressed to
enabling local filesystem quotas [OK]
then hung
Where do I go to from here?

update delay
by Daniel Wittenberg
So how long does it generally take for the new rpm's to make it to the
apt mirrors? I'd like to stick with apt-get instead of up2date if
possible, but I don't see many updates getting pushed there. I've only
been checking for a couple days, so maybe just bad timing. Any ideas?

ANNOUNCE: Severn Test 2 Anaconda Updates Image Available
by Michael Fulbright
The amount of feedback we've received for the Fedora Core Severn Test 2
has been impressive. The anaconda team appreciates the time everyone
has taken to test anaconda.
We've put together an update image to address some of the issues which
have been reported against anaconda. Depending on what kinds of
problems pop up we will consider making another update at a later date.
Please report any problems with this update to bugzilla, and if the
update fixes a problem you reported previously please update that bug
report with the new information.
The update is available at:
http://people.redhat.com/~msf/severn-test2-updates.img
Here is the README for the update:
(http://people.redhat.com/~msf/severn-test2-updates.readme)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an updates image for Fedora Core Severn Test 2 which corrects
problems in the anaconda installer.
To use this image use the following command line:
dd if=severn-test2-updates.img of=/dev/fd0
to write the image to a floppy disk. The contents of the disk will be
destroyed.
Then boot the installation media and at the command prompt enter
'linux updates'.
At the appropriate time you will be prompted to insert the updates floppy.
For other install methods if the severn-test2-updates.img file is renamed to
'updates.img' and put in the RedHat/base/ directory of the install tree it
will be used automatically w/o the need to use a floppy disk.
--------------------
Update Image Version: 1.0
Issues Addressed:
-----------------
- Bugzilla #105586 - kickstart install fails with probed monitor
- Bugzilla #105765 - couldn't get past text mode firewall screen if fw enabled
- Bugzilla #105811 - text mode upgrade traceback
- Bugzilla #105148 - In GUI install 'No firewall' option was ignored
- Fixed an issue where lilo was being referenced (it is no longer shipped)

Re: Laptop Sony Vaio R505TS - test2 - ACPI
by fedora-test-list
Sean,
Thanks! That definitly did the trick, ACPI is up and running.
Next on the list is to play with performance and cpufreq.
Also, installing the linux-wlan drivers appears to break pcmcia, I get
yenta errors after restarting pcmcia after I make install the linux-wlan
code. Anyhow, I'm going to review it again, if I still have issues I will
post more details.

"Homeless" KDE desktop
by Christoph Wickert
Hi!
When doing a german KDE install, I only get 2 icons on my desktop:
Start-here (as known not working) and Trash. I feel homeless :(
Is this a problem with translations? Did not happen to me with a
german-only install, just like the problems with firstboot: Installing
english & german results in a mixture of both.
