pungi
by Karl Larsen
I have been working with pungi for a couple of hours. I find there
is zip documentation. I have looked at /etc/punji/ and it has a lot of
good looking stuff! The pugi.conf seems to be set up for a 64 bit F7. I
can change that easy to i386 which this computer is using.
Anyone with more information please point me to it.

Stupid F7 boot loop
by Jonathan Allen
Hi All,
I have a stupid F7 box that won't boot. It keeps wittering about a clutch
of selinux errors:
udevd-event[1187]: selinux_setfscreatecon: matchpathcon(/dev/loop3) failed
and screenfuls of similar garbage. Then it tells me that an error occured
during the file system check - which it didn't. I give the root password
and run fsck and there are no errors. Reboot simply goes back into the
same loop. I can't edit /etc/selinux/config to disable selinux because the
filestore is read-only and the live CD doesn't seem to want to let me mount
the hard-disc to edit it that way.
How can I return the machine to some kind of sanity without reinstalling ?
This feels scarily like the monster from Redmond ...

New Computer
by Karl Larsen
The Bare Bones boxes arrived and I like the Aluminum box and the
motherboard was easy to install and set up. I have not yet received my
RAM so not able to finish the job. I should have ordered it with the kit
:-(
Had the usual luck. Got it all together and decided to listen to the
beeps. But when I plugged it in there was nothing. I had not put the
front panel lights and switches on the motherboard right. I pulled them
all off and then in good light with a magnifying glass I got the darn
things on right and it runs properly. I need to find a jumper that is
set to make it hard to turn off the thing. It is the thing that lets you
start the computer by touching the mouse. I need to move the jumper so
you really must press the start button. Old fashioned I know 8-)

Rescue CD installer not enabling boot through HTTP
by Omri Schwarz
Hi, all.
I see this question being asked on several fora, but no answer.
The FC7 x86_64 installer cannot do the loopback mount
on minstg2.img. It gets as far as downloading it, but fails to mount
loop0, with the error "device or resource busy."
Has this been fixed? Is there a workaround?

good color laser printer?
by Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak
Can anyone recommend a good networked color laser printer that works
well with linux? I'm printing color text documents rather than photos.
I have some Konica-Minolta 2350EN's, but the 4 toner cartridges give up
well before they are empty (and if one color toner goes, it seems to
force you to replace all color toners, even if they aren't empty). I
know all manufacturers do that to some extent, but it's really
outrageous on the 2350EN. And a full set of high-capacity cartridges
cost more than a new printer...

depmod segfaulting

Every time it runs, it segfaults.

F7 updates not making to public
by Bruno Wolff III
Yesterdays F7 updates have not made it to any of the public servers
I have checked. The last update of the directory with the updates
is on August 24. Test updates for F7 have made it to the public servers
so it doesn't appear to be a case of broken mirrors, but raher something
in Fedora's process of publishing the updates or perhaps with the
notifications that the updates are being released.

BIOS problems, booting from external USB on some older computers
by Paul Johnson
I have external disks and on systems where the BIOS allows one to boot
from USB, I can start Fedora 7 on the external disk. I've got all the
Grub and other complications with disk labels and so forth worked out.
However...
I have run into a fleet of Dell GX260 systems and the BIOS does not
allow USB to boot. They do allow a CDROM to boot, however, and so I
started wondering if there is a way I could give users a CDROM that
would start the boot process and then hand over to the external USB
system. I don't want the rescue disk, really, because that asks the
users questions and requires them to interact as root with the system.
But some thing like that would be good..
Do you have any advice?

evolution-2.10.2-2.fc7 crashes if you set a search folder with a relative date
by Tim
Can someone else see if their FC7's Evolution also crashes when trying
to set up a search folder that applies relative to a date?
Create a new search folder.
Pick the option to apply a rule for "date received".
Click on the button where you'd select a date.
That's when the crash happens for me. Evolution on FC6 works for me.
