Kmail S/Mime Plugin?
by Roland Wolters
Hi,
In Fedora Core 1 was some kind of cryptplug pakage to install ägypten/sphinx
for S/mime support in Kmail - what's about that for Fedora Core 2?
I can't find something like that for Fedora Core 2.

SElinux verbosity level during boot-up
by Ernest L. Williams Jr.
Hi
SElinux is very chatty during boot. As a matter of fact it gets in the
way of other useful boot messages.
How does one completely turn off SElinux? SElinux is disabled by
default, right?
What packages comprise SELinux and how does one remove them?
I will go away and read the SElinux FAQ but I don't need SElinux on my
home computer. I installed it by mistake in a hurry to synch up with
the Fedora Core distro via yum.
Thanks,

X86_64 FC2 problems on ASUS K8V SE Deluxe system
by Jim Bevier
I have an ASUS K8V SE Deluxe Athlon 64 system that
I installed FC2 X86_64 on. I have another partition that has
FC1 32 bit that I have been runing on.
I have a Promise RAID controller (FastTrack 20378) where I have
two 160 GB ide drives connected (RAID 2+0). I do not know how
to see these drives. On FC1 2.4 kernel I used a ft3xx driver from
Promise and the devices were on /dev/sda & /dev/sdb. It looks like
the sata_promise is loaded, but where are the drives defined? I do
not see them under /proc/scsi. Is this device support on FC2? The
drives are ide (ATA-133), not SATA.

Scanner problem
by Neil B. Cohen
I recently purchased an HP 2175xi printer/scanner/copier. Hooked it up
to my Fedora 2 test3 system and it worked fine. Got it to print and scan
without any problems.
I just wiped the machine and installed the FC2 release. The printer
works, but Xsane tells me there are no scanners. The machine is attached
to the USB port, and scanimage -L (run as root) tells me that there is
(probably) a scanner on the USB port - but it won't actually scan
anything.
Any suggestions on what I need to do to get the scanner working would be
appreciated. The printer still seems to be working...
Much obliged,

What modifies the file "redhat-release" ?
by Ernest L. Williams Jr.
Hi,
My desktop system reports Fedora 2 after updating from rawhide prior to
May 18. Cool.
However, my laptop may have not been so lucky. If I were to point my
laptop to rawhide now, I would have beyond Fedora 2, right?
Looks like rawhide is back to full throttle.
How can I get my laptop on Fedora 2 without using the ISO distro? I
think the laptop is really close if not already there but redhat-release
still reports 1.92.
So, what modifies redhat-release?
Thanks,

custom kernel rpm / repatching methods
by Vibol Hou
I've been following the latest round of kernel updates by arjanv and
i've been looking into creating a custom kernel with swsusp2 patched
in. i'm curious to know what methods the current redhat kernel
maintainer(s) use to keep the rpm patched; is this process done
manually? for instance, i've noticed a number of redhat-applied patches
that occur after the bk patchsets. are the redhat-applied patches
recreated manually to account for changes made by the bk patchset each time?

Is it safe to remove IPv6 from latest test kernel
by Stan Bubrouski
Hey,
I was just wondering if it would screw anything up if I removed ipv6
from my kernel? Will things break horribly?
I hope this is the right list to ask this on, apparently questions about
development absolutely can't be asked on the devel list or warren will
got hitler on your ass without reading the e-mail.
Kudos to those who don't respond with rude insults like Hitler Togami.

Totally. As it stands its more than just difficult to figure what
should be posted where. You could probably post the same question twice
to the list and illicit entirely different responses entailing things
like "This is the solution..." where other times you will get "Don't be
a jerk and post questions like this to the this list" it doesn't evoke a
spirit of community. When people don't where to ask a question, then
there is a problem that deserves clarification.

Hash: SHA1
I am going to install FC2 on x86_64 SATA MSI MB (using LVM stripping).
The MB has both promise and via controller. Any reason to prefer one or the
other?
