Minimal install media
by Troy Bull 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Greetings I am wondering if there is a minimal install media? All I want is the core OS, and apache and subversion. When I built my "server" from the live CD I got tons of extra stuff. I dont need X, Open Office, Firefox, basically anything except for apache, subversion, php and dependencies. Thanks troy

request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c
by reikred＠gmail.com 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Hello, The boot sequence of my fedora 7 (x86_32) machine hangs with multiple messages that state request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c This happens ONLY when I have plugged in an extra IDE drive which contains a copy of fedora 8 (x86_64). I have gleaned from various web searches that the problem may be that f7 is confused about and/or trying to execute some 64bit code from the additional hard disk? Does anyone know how to get around this problem (boot hanging, that is)? There is lots of hits on the web but I have not been able to synthesize a solution from what I find. Reik

SELinux alerts
by Colin Paul Adams 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

I just installed (via yum) and started squid. I then noticed I had some SELinux alert Summary SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/squid (squid_t) "read write" to socket (unconfined_t). Detailed Description SELinux denied access requested by /usr/sbin/squid. It is not expected that this access is required by /usr/sbin/squid and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Allowing Access You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385 Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package. Additional Information Source Context system_u:system_r:squid_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0 Target Objects socket [ unix_stream_socket ] Affected RPM Packages squid-2.6.STABLE17-1.fc8 [application] Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.0.8-44.fc8 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name plugins.catchall Host Name susannah.colina.demon.co.uk Platform Linux susannah.colina.demon.co.uk 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 #1 SMP Tue Oct 30 13:18:33 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen Sat 26 Jan 2008 06:39:04 GMT Last Seen Sat 26 Jan 2008 06:39:04 GMT Local ID b8ea13f6-922f-4bb8-a448-09e80221eb2a Line Numbers and additional similar alerts for sh (xdm), ntpd, and /usr/bin/gcin Is it safe to ignore these? -- Colin Adams Preston Lancashire

GRUB
by Karl Larsen 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

I looked at what Google has for grub and of course the info grub and the best for a person not an expert, is an article in the Linux book for year 2001 where they talk about using floppy disks. All that I read uses language that is hard for someone to understand and never do any of the writing show applications of grub in use. Has anyone seen a paper that is down to earth and uses examples to show grub use with Linux and Fedora? Karl -- Karl F. Larsen, AKA K5DI Linux User #450462 http://counter.li.org.

how to debug glibc on fedora.
by PawelCarqowski 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Hallo group members. Do You know any document that would be usable for this. Initially I thought that I could use glibc-debuginfo, but this is optimized and does not have complete debug information. For example there is no debug information for "socket" system call. regards, Pawel

Reinstall GRUB?
by Doctor Who 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

I recently added another hard drive to my machine. Previously, I had 2 hard drives and Fedora was installed on one along with Vista. I installed grub to Fedora''s root and used a 3rd party boot loader to access Fedora and other distros. Now that the 3rd SATA drive is installed, Fedora's grub is messed up because it's not on the drive it thinks it is (different order to drives now). How can I go about 'fixing' Fedora's grub entry and re-installing grub to Fedora's root partition (not the MBR)? Thanks.
