This seems to be getting off topic. The important point was that installing
off the usb disk by loopbacking to the DVD.iso file failed.
It looks to me like the problem was the usb disk was mounted already
for it to show the directories and files for F2 mode, but then it
was trying to mount the dvd.iso via loopback and a problem occurred there.
Mounting to a iso file by loopback that's on a drive that's already mounted
should be ok, I just tested it by mounting the same DVD file on my existing
FC6 machine with the DVD.iso file being on my /home directory which
is mounted....
# mount F-6.92-i386-DVD.iso /mnt/loopdir -o loop
# df
/home/mos/local/azureus/Downloads/f7-test3-prime-i386/F-6.92-i386-DVD.iso
3050500 3050500 0 100% /mnt/loopdir
It also didn't help for me to just write down the proper file position in the
"Directory:" text entry, that just resulted in a error about there not being
no CD images in the directory. I made sure the directory name was ok.

[SECURITY] Fedora Core 5 Test Update: openssh-4.3p2-4.12.fc5
by Miloslav Trmač
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora Test Update Notification
FEDORA-2007-395
2007-03-31
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 5
Name : openssh
Version : 4.3p2
Release : 4.12.fc5
Summary : The OpenSSH implementation of SSH protocol versions 1 and 2
Description :
SSH (Secure SHell) is a program for logging into and executing
commands on a remote machine. SSH is intended to replace rlogin and
rsh, and to provide secure encrypted communications between two
untrusted hosts over an insecure network. X11 connections and
arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel.
OpenSSH is OpenBSD's version of the last free version of SSH, bringing
it up to date in terms of security and features, as well as removing
all patented algorithms to separate libraries.
This package includes the core files necessary for both the OpenSSH
client and server. To make this package useful, you should also
install openssh-clients, openssh-server, or both.

F7T3: ppp & rp-pppoe
by Tim Quinn
I've downloaded the dvd iso from Duke, and I'm surprised that ppp &
rp-pppoe were not included in the installation by default. It was not
really a problem --- I rebooted into billgatesland and went and grabbed
them --- but was this done by design, or was it an oversight?

preferred bugzilla category for test release 3?
by Michael Wiktowy
Hi,
I was playing around with test3 LiveCD yesterday (excellent job BTW
... I was able to install and use Beryl all within the LiveCD
environment) and submitted a few bugs that I found (not specifically
about Beryl ... I was just pretty happy it and Compiz finally works on
my ATI 800XL out of the box).
When looking through the components and products that you can choose
from I found things a little ambiguous as to the best selections of
categories.
I just picked Fedora Core instead of Extras ... with the merging of
those two, will there still be some sort of line between the for bug
reporting?
Also, there was "devel" and "test3" there ... which is the best place
to put reported bugs under when testing f7test3 so they won't get
overlooked ... all the other test categories were labeled f(x)test(y),
etc. but there was no f7test3? I just picked "devel" since I wasn't
sure if testx categories were just leftovers from a previous release.

F7Test2 install
by EB
Forum
During a initial installation of F7T2 on a fresh, empty, VMware partition,
at the end of the install process the dialog demands an additional user be
set up. The password for the one I entered was flagged as being too
insecure because of a dictionary word. The popup dialog asked if I wanted
to retry. I said NO. (the mind your own business, stop working for the
nanny state button was not available). The script, and the machine, hung.
Reboot was the only action I could take.
After reboot, the script recovered nicely. This install was just for
testing on a personal laptop. Security was not an issue. If I wanted to
use 'x' for a password, why not let me?

[F7 test3] Xorg nv driver
by Dariusz J. Garbowski
Hi,
I tested F7 test3 KDE-live CD on my machine affected by BZ #183110.
Unfortunately with F7 test3 X is still bad -- at best I see black
screen, at worst some colorful rubbish. Luckily I can drop to console
and grab the logs. Developers assure me that nv driver 2.0.1/2.0.2 fixes
lots of lockups but (correct me if I'm wrong) as far as I can tell F7
test3 has nv 2.0.0.
Questions:
1. Is there any chance to get updated nv driver? Perhaps in test4?
2. Is there any console-based web browser on the live CDs? When things
go wrong and X doesn't start it would be *very* helpful to be able to at
least try and Google for some hints what's wrong or how to try and
fix/diagnose what's wrong. (I tried links/lynx/w3m -- have I missed some
other browser?)
Regards,
Dariusz

F7T3: kernel issue
by Patrick Lists
Hi all,
Just installed F7T3 i386 on an Acer TM6465. Install went well and after
I rebooted I noticed that only a Xen kernel was installed. Was it
supposed to do that? Bugzilla?
Next I updated to latest Rawhide and installed a normal kernel with "yum
install kernel". Rebooted, selected the non-Xen kernel and then the boot
failed with:
/bin/nash: error while loading shared libraries: libm.so.6: cannot open
shared object file: no such file or directory
kernel panic - not syncing: Attempt to kill init!
Anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks,
Patrick
