Installation options
by Paul Lemmons 31 May '07

31 May '07

I have been reading this list and there seems to be a number of options for installing Fedora 7 (boy it is hard not to type FC7). I see the normal boot from DVD and upgrade option with several variants. What I am not seeing and really thought I would is the ability to upgrade via yum. I went from FC5 to FC6 via yum on a number of machines and even though it was not officially supported it still worked wonderfully. Just curious, is this an option with F7?

Please help me choose one version of Fedora for my computer
by Qiang 31 May '07

31 May '07

Few days ago, I got one new computer. Next, it is the specs of the machine: *--------------------------------------------------* CPU: Intel Core(TM)2 Duo Processor Mainboard: ASUS P5GZ-MX Memory: Kingston DDR2 SDRAM 1024MB Harddisk: Seagate SATA 250GB *--------------------------------------------------* I wonder which version of Fedora is suitable to my machine, i386 version, or x86_64 version. I am not clear about the cpu. Is it 64-bit cpu or 32-bit cpu? Well, please help me choose one version between i386 version and x86_64 version.

Better window management strategies?
by Joe Smith 31 May '07

31 May '07

How do you folks manage your working windows? I find that working on a standard WIMP desktop is a distracting battle of locating and arranging in the needed windows. The current tools, specifically in the default Fedora Gnome desktop are not working well for me, but maybe I've missed something. Here's what I've tried: * Focus follows mouse I can't stand "click to focus", primarily because it's disruptive to move a window to the top for something simple and then to restore the z-order I had before. Using "focus follows mouse" solves that problem, but I'm left with the converse problem: I often have problems finding the window I need and bringing it to the top when necessary. Here's what I've tried for that: 1. Alt-tab to cyle through windows. This is the exact functionality I need, but having to access it through the keyboard, with a rather awkward key chord is not convenient enough. I want something that will work with the mouse. 2. The window-selector panel menu. Better, but it's distracting to use the panel here: it's too far from my working windows and it's complicated to locate the correct button on the panel and select the right window given only their titles. 3. Application window menus: these would be ok, except they don't work with Nautilus under "focus follows mouse" (Mozilla Seamonkey and OpenOffice are the two big ones I use, that don't work). What might help: * a window menu built-in to the title bar * a method to "restore the previous order", or at least to send the top window down. Other suggestions? What obvious solution have I missed? <Joe

udev/hotplug?
by Ashley M. Kirchner 31 May '07

31 May '07

If I don't have anything that's either hotpluggable, or going to be hotplugged on a machine, is there any reason why I should have udev running? How can I shut it off? (I can't remove it because of all the dependencies with other stuff.) -- W | It's not a bug - it's an undocumented feature. +-------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley M.

From Rawhide to Moonshine
by Oliver Ruebenacker 31 May '07

31 May '07

Dear friends, I am sure some one has asked this before, but I can not find it: If I am on F6.93 Rawhide with regular updates and want to shift to F7 Moonshine, what do I need to do? Will it update automatically into the release version, or will I continue on Rawhide if I do not interfere with the updates? If I want to end up with the F7 Moonshine release version, do I need to: (a) do nothing, let the updater do its job (b) modify the updater (c) boot from an install disk (d) take some other action. Thanks! Take care Oliver -- Oliver Ruebenacker, Post-Doc Researcher Theoretical Biological Physics and Soft Statistical Mechanics Cell Biology at UConn Health Center and Physics at Harvard http://people.deas.harvard.edu/~oliver/

CD's?
by Brian Millett 31 May '07

31 May '07

So, where are the CD's? -- Brian Millett - [ Sheridan, "A Spider in the Web"] "For the past six years, there have been rumors about a...rogue agency operating deep inside Earth Gov. A dirty tricks squad dealing in black projects and Star Chamber justice. It took me over three years just to get the name: Bureau 13. And the man who gave me that name died soon after. I am convinced they exist and that they are behind this incident."
