Default Cursor theme is not Bluecurve?
by n0dalus
In FC5t1, 'Bluecurve' is selected as my cursor theme by default, but
the cursor looks a lot more like the default X11 cursor theme (big,
chunky and not anti-aliased). Anyone else having this problem?

hwbrowser reporting something odd!
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I have an Agfa Snapscan 1236 scanner attached on the SCSI card within my
PC. For some reason, hwbrowser seems to think that it's on /dev/eth0!
This doesn't look right - is anyone else seeing this sort of oddity?

Wireless - Intel 2200BG
by Matthew Carter
I have started playing with my wireless on the test build, I dumped
the ipw2200 driver (v2.3) into my /lib/firmware folder and it still
detected it as a Ethernet. Downloaded the ipw2200 v2.4, rebooted and
FC5 picks it up as wireless but it doesnt detect it as a connection.
Is this something that has changed with kernel 2.6.14???

x86-64 Mediatest Gotcha
by richard mullens
Seeking to discover whether it was the CD writer on my 32 bit system, or
the CD reader on my 64 bit system which was the cause of media check
failures, I tried to perform a media check by booting the 32 bit system
with the 64 bit disc1.
Unfortunately it rejected the CD as being inappropriate for the (32 bit)
system - and thereby prevented me from performing the test (in this way,
at least).

Mkinitrd 5.0.11 and .12 problems with raid and LVM
by Clyde E. Kunkel
I am wondering if anyone else is seeing the problem I am experiencing.
Layout: software raid 5 pvs, root partition is a LV in a VG on the raid
5. Boot is a standard type 83 linux partition. The raid devices were
setup as /dev/md0, /dev/md1, etc.
No problems installing FC5T1 (or FC4 or other distros on this setup).
Problems began when mkinitrd was updated to 5.0.11 in development.
During boot the raid arrays are detected, but they are named md_d0, etc,
vice md0, etc., and consequently the VGs cannot be found. Falling back
to mkinitrd-5.0.10 from the FC5T1 CDs, and recreating the initrd fixes
the problem. The problem also exists in today's rawhide mkinitrd-5.0.12.
I have updated bug 169059, but maybe this should be a new bug?

Font/Flash problems with mozilla or firefox
by Mike Chambers
Has anyone else had any font and/or flash problems with the latest
mozilla/firefox programs?
And what I mean by problems, is on the URL below on the tvguide listings
for cable for my area. You don't see the times in the top boxes, nor
when you click on something to see the preview come up on the left, the
frames are shown, but no writing or preview.
http://www.tvguide.com/listings/ List your area and your cable network.
Once the current time/listings are shown, scroll through and click on a
movie or something and see if you get the same thing.

Re: Up2date replacement
by Don Springall
Before we begin congratulations to REDHAT for being picked as the OS for the
MIT $100 laptop. See http://www.tectonic.co.za/view.php?id=731 for details.
I am also glad that Fedora is getting press in www.distrowatch.com and
www.lwn.com for Core 5.

The point being that you sometimes run out of time to complete the whole
process. To go from Fedora Core 4 to rawhide is over 1.2 Gigs of download
that took me five hours to get. To apply the 1.2 Gigs of updates took over 2
hours. This is on a 1.8 GHZ system with a 5.5 Mb/S internet connection.
Again though my biggest concern is getting things fixed quickly. PUP says
everything is uptodate when I know REDHAT has a fix available for my broken
firewall with iptables-1.3.4-2.i386.rpm in the development repo. Today I can
only seem to get it through http.

FC5T1 Public Key Issue
by Charles Curley
Question on public keys:
I ran (on FC4) a test of the integrity of CD images, which includes
testing each RPM with "rpm -K". In doing so, I noticed:
* A lot of packages are signed with a public key I have already
imported into RPM. No problem.
* The rest are signed with either 30c9ecf8 or db42a60e, neither of
which I have yet imported.
I then installed anyway. On FC5T1 I then tried to pull in twm:
yum install xorg-x11-twm
On the first go, yum imported a key. But:
Downloading Packages:
(1/1): xorg-x11-twm-0.99. 100% |=========================| 92 kB 00:00
warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 30c9ecf8

The key that was imported is the same as one I have on the FC4 box:
