Type "linux text" at the boot prompt. (The default is a graphical mode installation). See if it still hangs, at that point. If you have access to another machine you might want to do the media check and verify it's OK, but it sounds like you've tried at least 2 CD sets (FC1 and RH9) already. David Liguori

Call for IT Survey Participants
by Ron Herardian 27 Mar '04

27 Mar '04

Hello, I am conducting a survey about corporate IT. The survey looks at infrastructure trends in e-mail, directory services, groupware, wireless, and server operating systems, e.g., Linux vs Windows 200x Server. I am looking for senior IT managers, e.g., CIO/VP/Director of IT, to participate in the survey. The survey form (an Excel spreadsheet) will be going out in the next couple of weeks and should take about 15 minutes. Participants will receive a copy of the survey report. The 2003 GSS IT Survey report is available upon request to interested parties.

Ron, No offense, but you really should make the survey a little bit more accessable to people than just handing out an excel spreadsheet and hoping that people send it back to you. Find someone with the knowhow and a little bit of elbow grease to make it and you'll have alot more realistic and accurate information. -D ----- Original Message ----- From: Ron Herardian <rherardi(a)gssnet.com> Date: Thu, 25 Mar 2004 06:25:44 -0800 To: Fedora List <fedora-list(a)redhat.com> Subject: Call for IT Survey Participants > Hello, > > I am conducting a survey about corporate IT.

ATI Troubles
by Mike Atamas 27 Mar '04

27 Mar '04

Hello, I installed the ATI Properietery drivers today. Everything worked perfectly except for the refresh rate. I tried tweaking the VertSync and HorizRefresh but that did nothing. At 1600x1200 the refresh rate was 75Hz no matter what. I tried making a modeline using gft but that did not work either. Then I tried to run a modeline not for 1600x1200 but for 1600x1000, and that worked. How can I fix this? Mike psychomohel(a)comcast.net

FC2 X issues
by Mark Haney 27 Mar '04

27 Mar '04

I know this is not the right list for this, but it's a simple question. I'm running FC2Test1 and every time I try a new updated kernel and reboot to the new kernel, X fails. The only kernel that X boots with is the stock FC2 kernel (2.6.65?). What's up with that? Anyone else having this issue with it? -- Estne volumen in toga, an solum tibi libet me videre?

RAID 0 to RAID 1
by Kevin M. Shortt 27 Mar '04

27 Mar '04

Hi all, I've just built a box with Fedora Core 1 and used disk druid to create many partitions (during the install) set up as RAID 1. Through all the clicking a redundant creations, I accidentally created one partition as RAID 0. I would like to convert this to RAID 1. (note my original post earlier today regarding my que of /proc/mdstat) The filesystem is unmountable. I have not installed mdadm (yet). These are the steps I did do to change the partition from RAID 0 to RAID 1. They have not worked. Any advice and insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.. /proc/mdstat entry appears as such. ------------------------------------- md8 : active raid0 hda8[0] hdc8[1] 6136576 blocks 64k chunks ------------------------------------- - umount /mountpoint - raidstop /dev/md8 # I verified that /dev/md8 was removed from /proc/mdstat. # I then edited /etc/raidtab to change the "raid-level" entry # for /dev/md8 to be "1" and not "0". - vi /etc/raidtab - raidstart /dev/md8 # The /proc/mdstat entry was still indicating RAID 0. -k

IPSec VPN docs
by Mark Haney 27 Mar '04

27 Mar '04

I'm trying to get a VPN setup between my FC1 box at home and a DLink DFL300 at my office so I can do some things securely without having to make the 30 minute drive in to work to fix stuff. I've googled the subject and the amount of documentation is pretty immense. Can someone give me a shortened version what I need to configure or point me to a good step by step doc on how to do it? -- Tabhair póg dom, táim Éireannach Mark Haney Development, Systems and Network Administration DoctorDirectory.com http://www.doctordirectory.com

Fedora Mail Help
by Jwp 27 Mar '04

27 Mar '04

So I have postfix working (and I have also tested it against several open relay checkers and it is secure, well it is not an open relay at least). And I can access my mail via POP3. Bear in mind that I have been a Linux user for barely 2 months. For the past month I have been searching the web and reading article after article in order set up site-wide spam and virus filtering. However, all the tutorials I have read through reference files that are not located on my system, at least I can't find them. I have a basic install of Fedora Core 1, with the server packages, I replaced sendmail w/ postfix and configured the main.cf file and that is it. Spamassassin is installed on my system, as /usr/bin/spamassassin , spamc, spamd. (I assume these are part of spamassasin?) So if someone out there would be so kind as to help me understand what is installed on my system, and get me pointed in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. And if you enjoy LEGAL live musical recordings I can even offer some reimbursement. Well thanks for your time, sorry to pull you away from the survey debate 8^) JWP
