beryl great, but too wobbly
by public＠boris-glawe.de
Hello,
I'm using the beryl desktop effects with F7. I'm quiet impressed.
There's one features, which I don't like, though: Wobbling windows while
they are being moved.
All other wobbling is OK, for example when windows are maximized or
minimized. Thus I disabled wobbling only for moving windows.
The strange thing is, that all windows shiver when I press either Ctrl,
Alt or Shift. Especially when writing text this "feature" is really
annoying. Every capitalization of a word results in a shivering desktop!
Can I disable this "feature"? It's possible to disable it by disabling
wobbly windows as a whole, which I don't want!
Thanks and greets Boris

dirhash hint?
by Tom Horsley
Just installed latest updates, and since that included a new
kernel I did a reboot. When it got to the filesystem checks,
a brand new message I've never seen came out for each filesystem:
"adding dirhash hint to filesystem".
In the words of Carol Cleveland: "What on earth does that mean?"

fedora website
by John
So what's the deal with the Fedora site? I want to download the F7 live
cd from a mirror- clicking on 7 or 7.9 kicks out FC6 cd's.... I thought
it was something with the US mirrors, but the same thing happens with
the Norway mirror. Can someone else check to make sure I'm not going
nuts...?

ipv6, kill it once and for all
by John Pierce
Ok, I have tried in vain to stop ipv6 from loading on boot.
If I uncomment the following lines in /etc/modprobe.conf
#alias net-pf-10 off
#alias ipv6 off
then I get the following during boot:
module off not found.
I have looked at /etc/sysctl.conf but I don't see a default entry for
the stoppage of ipv6.
I really would like to completely and utterly obliterate ipv6 once and
for all, as it seems to really bog down my system.

hiding you ip address?
by Louis Garcia
Is there oss for hiding ones ip address while online with
fedora/mozilla? I've been reading about encrypted proxies but they seem
a bit slow if the proxy is in another country which I like since it
would be harder to track.
And information or links would be nice, Thanks

Grub Works Fine
by Karl Larsen
I read and re-read the info grub and then came up in the F7 Rescue
CD-Rom and did a bunch of changes to my grub setup and then tested to
see if the change took :-)
I am happy to report that there is nothing wrong with grub. It has
all been operator error and grub does what it is told to. If you tell it
the wrong thing it WILL do it or at least try :-D
So my advice to myself is to read info grub before you try to use
grub. It is not a simple software. It is VERY easy to get the address
for root or setup wrong.
So have fun and enjoy grub.

MySQL slow
by Jim Douglas
I installed MySQL on Fedora 6 and simple queries are very slow.
I have ten databases with very few hundred records and there are only a few
hundred records in the table I am querying. I only have this issue on
Fedora ONLY. The same query on on my Windows machine is as expected.
What can I do to speed things up on Fedora?
Jim
