Missing perl mod
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Does anyone know where Perl(XML::Path) resides? The current yum update
seems to be missing it.

FC2T3 CD Install failure
by Frank Swasey
I downloaded the FC2T3 CD ISO images via bittorrent and burned them to
CD-RW's. CD 1 successfully boots a three year old Dell OptiPlex GX1 --
but as soon as the install starts and I tell it to install from a local
CDRom, it can not find the CD in the drive.
I've tried both the graphical and text installs with the same problem.
I believe the computer can handle CD-RW's (or it wouldn't have booted
off one) -- did I get a bad copy or is there a problem with the image?
What is the install looking for that it cannot find on the CD?

by Giuseppe Castagna
Hello,
What should I specify for bs when copying by dd diskboot.img on my
pendrive?
I guess

Right?
Thanks in advance

Test3: Mozilla 1.6 - Manage Bookmarks

Test3: Mozilla 1.6 - Manage Bookmarks
Scrolling through the "Manage Bookmarks" applet lags. The app still has
focus, but it acts like it has been taken away because the keyboard and mouse
are unresponsive for 10's of seconds at a time.

windows network browsing -- Broken again...
by Stephan Schutter
Why is it that the RedHat flavor of Linux never work well in a windows
environment? We are currently experimanting with numerous possibilities at
work. We have a large network with multple domains. Here is what I have
found so far:
Xandros:
Windows networking is near flawless. You open the network browser and BAM!
It is there, it just works. Immediatley! You can eeven join an AD domain.
Lindows:
Same as Xandros, but you can not join a domain. It just works! Fantastic!
Acronis: (Disk imaging software that runs on linux... bootable CD)
Again -- Just works!
RedHat: (FC1 FC2-t3)
Open the nework browser... "can't display blah blah..."
fully qualify a path... "cant.... etc."
fully qualify a path & indicate smb://my-domain/user@servername...
displays a keyring dialogue box... with user, domain, password is
requested... you put in the appropriate info and.... the box displays
again...
This is not acceptable. If this is how the finished product RedHat
Workstartion will work... not good. This needs to work. Everybody else can
make it "just" work. What is the disconnect here? Is this being worked on
at all? Is it part of the requiremants foer the finished product?

Test3 and SELinux
by Wayne Steenburg
I probably just don't understand something properly, but I thought
SELinux was off by default for test3. Here's what I get:
wayne@FC2-WORKSTATION wayne]$ dmesg | grep SELinux
SELinux: Initializing.
SELinux: Starting in permissive mode
SELinux: Registering netfilter hooks
This is on a fresh install (not upgrade). Does anyone know why I'm
getting these messages?

[SECURITY] Fedora Core 1 Test Update: mc-4.6.0-14.10
by Jakub Jelinek
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2004-112
2004-04-29
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : mc
Version : 4.6.0
Release : 14.10
Summary : User-friendly text console file manager and visual shell.
Description :
Midnight Commander is a visual shell much like a file manager, only
with many more features. It is a text mode application, but it also
includes mouse support if you are running GPM. Midnight Commander's
best features are its ability to FTP, view tar and zip files, and to
poke into RPMs for specific files.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Several buffer overflows, several temporary file creation
vulnerabilities, and one format string vulnerability have been
discovered in Midnight Commander. These vulnerabilities were
discovered mostly by Andrew V. Samoilov and Pavel Roskin. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned
the names CAN-2004-0226, CAN-2004-0231, and CAN-2004-0232 to these
issues.

x configuration etc
by Barz Ashley
Ive successfully install Fedora core2 test3.
AMD 2400+
K7S5a pro mainboard
256 "slow" sdram
80 gig maxtor
evga mx 440 8x 128mb ddr
LG dvd rom
Sony CD-RW "oldZ" 8x4x24
partition as
/boot
/
/home
/swap
Installation as
Gnome
the display I installed as a generic 800x600 as to
have a working display. No hardware detection ever
detects it properly accept Lindows.
Then when I went to change the resulution, it asks
like normal to log out and then in to see affect.
It does not work, tried a few times.
Also tried xf86cfg but there is none.
Do you still use xfree86?
Also mozilla acts strangly, will not bring windows to
the front when opening a new window.
I updated ala up2date, it needs to be updated as well
, I tried yum, and could not update it. everything
else updated fine through up2date even with the
warnings.

FC2 T3 fails on network SCIOCSIFFLAGS
by RaXeT
After updating FC2 T2 to T3 via install CD's I now have a completely
dysfunctional network.
Use ADSL with a Broadcom tg3 module loaded.
On boot eth0 is brought up but I'm getting a SCIOCSIFFLAGS error when
attempting to activate eth0 from system-network-config-gui.
Dual booted back to my XP Pro and everything functions.
What could be the problem?
Thanks,

You could try a different ftp client. I've been using WS_FTP
(from http://www.ipswitch.com/products/ws_ftp/index.html)
without problems. There is a trail version available but it's
worth the $45 they want for the registered version. It also
does ssh transfers which is the main reason I use it. It seems
to handle larger files without any problems.
