GIMP File Dialogues
by Jonathan Allen
G'day All,
Re: Gimp on FC3
I have managed to get OO using the 'normal' file dialogues by selecting
the option to use the OO dialogues, but I can't find the same sort of
option in GIMP. How can I use the standard dialogues that I can just
type a full path-name into, in GIMP ?

Resizing a partition
by Lucas Chan
Hi,
I recently signed up with a super-cheap dedicated server company to run one
of my personal sites. The box was pre-installed with FC2.
Some of the partitions they set up on it are ridiculously small. I
contacted them saying:
"I'm quickly running out of space on a couple of partitions and need them to
be resized. I understand this needs to be performed at the console with a
boot disk so I'm submitting a ticket to you guys."
They responded saying:
"We cannot resize the partitions without reformatting/reimaging the drive."
Am I missing something obvious? I thought resizing partitions was quite an
easy thing to do with parted? Are there some oddities with resizing
partitions in Fedora that I'm not aware of, or am I just getting the quality
technical support you'd expect from an el-cheapo hosting company?
The RHEL parted docs I found indicate to me that this is a simple process:

1-parted-resize-part.html
Thanks in advance.

No. Someone posted a message concerning a problem using Ghost with FC3 last December. There's a workaround for this problem at the end of the bug report.

OK I looked at the bug report.
Did you have a question?

problems mounting fat32 partition
by Tom
Hi,
I have just installed Fedora Core 3, dual boot with Win XP. I have a
separate partition for my files and so on, and I want to access it from
linux. This is the set up of my system:
hda:
- hda1 (Windows XP - NTFS ~15GB)
- hda2 (Files - FAT32 ~ 25GB)
hdd:
- hdd1 (/boot - ext3 ~ 100MB)
- hdd2 - LVM Physical Volume (containing swap and / ~20GB)
This is recognised by the Hardware Browser, but when I try to mount
hda2, it does not seem to exist in /dev, so unsurprisingly, I get the
error: "mount: special device /dev/hda2 does not exist"
any ideas?
Tom.

Installing fedora at school
by Danial Rehman
My school is thinking of installing linux on some of the computers,
and were wondering if it's legal to use linux for non-private usage. I
really didn't get what they meant but something about linux only
beeing free if your going to install for yourself and not for a whole
school or corporation or whatever.
So I'm wondering if it's allowed to get fedora for about 10 compters
at my school the legal way.
I always thought linux was free for everyone?
Thanks in advande

RH9 -> FC3: no upgrade offered
by Jean-Louis Leroy
Hello,
I have a computer running Red Hat 9 (Shrike). I'd like to upgrade to
FC3. Unfortunately, the (graphical) installer doesn't seem to
recognize the presence of a previous installation and does not offer
to upgrade it.
Here's my partition list:
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda2 on /usr type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda5 on /home type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda6 on / type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda7 on /var type ext3 (rw)
I wonder if this has to do with the fact that this is a purely SCSI
computer? However, the installer does load the appropriate SCSI
modules during the pre-graphical phase; and the bottom of anaconda.log
shows that apparently it goes look for things there:
* moving (1) to step language
* moving (1) to step keyboard
* running ['/usr/X11R6/bin/setxkbmap', '-layout', 'us', '-model', 'pc105', '-option', '']
* moving (1) to step findrootparts
* isys.py:mount()- going to mount /tmp/sda1 on /mnt/sysimage
* isys.py:mount()- going to mount /tmp/sda2 on /mnt/sysimage
* isys.py:mount()- going to mount /tmp/sda5 on /mnt/sysimage
* isys.py:mount()- going to mount /tmp/sda6 on /mnt/sysimage
* isys.py:mount()- going to mount /tmp/sda7 on /mnt/sysimage
* moving (1) to step installtype
* Detected 2032M of memory
* Swap attempt of 1000M to 2000M
* moving (1) to step partitionmethod
* moving (-1) to step installtype
* moving (-1) to step findrootparts
* moving (-1) to step keyboard
Help please...

You might want to check if you are getting socket errors in your fetchmail. It
will cause messages to repeat in your mail. I experienced this from my
fetchmail. To fix it I changed fetchmailrc to include logging and expunge 1 to
erase mail from my server. here is a copy of my .fetchmailrc file.
# Configuration created Sun Jul 11 10:36:42 2004 by fetchmailconf
set postmaster "rmiles"
set bouncemail
set no spambounce
set properties ""
set daemon 90
set no syslog
set logfile /home/rmiles/fetchmail.log
poll mail.comcast.net with proto POP3
user 'r.godzilla' there with password 'xxxx' is 'rmiles' here
expunge 1
