Installation problem on Dell OptiPlex620
by Tony Molloy
Hi,
I'm trying to install Fedora-9 on some Dell OptiPlex 620 boxes. I've tried
both graphical and text based installs and get the same problem with both.
When it tries to run anaconda it crashes with a long traceback. It's at the
point where it is probeing for the video card the crash occurs.
Does anybody have the magic incantation I can give to the boot sequence to get
around this.
Thanks,
Tony

NetworkManager crashes system on Thinkpad T41 (?)
by Peter Langfelder
Hello,
when I'm connected to the wired network and try to disable networking
in NM, it produces a hard system crash (desktop and everything else
stops, only way to move forward is the power button). This with the
newest updates as of today. Anyone noticed this before?
I looked at the system logs and found nothing suspicious, but maybe
I'm not looking carefully enough.
Thanks,
Peter

Mailing-list Gudelines. Yes or No
by Frank Murphy
Though a newbie,
Have grown to love Fedora because of it's willing to lead with new
"technology".
Have contacted you as the User-list owners. (cc the list)
But like any organisation public\private wahtever, some guidelines are
necessary otherwise nothing gets done. In this case
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
Coming from windows I understand some of the *workflow habits*
But learned.
You are possible going to lose a number of seasoned user
troubleshooters, if mailing list guidelines continue to be pushed back
in peoples faces, for attempting to do the correct thing.
Maybe once and for all decide does the list need guidelines, Yes or No?

f9 encrypted fs - how???
by Wolfgang S. Rupprecht
I see lots of references that F9 supports a encrypted filesystems
natively and I recall that the installer even offered to set up
encryption for me. The question is, how does one set up encryption
later on? I can't find any recent documentation. Google has millions
of hits for all sorts of crazy schemes dating back to very early
fedoras, but I have yet to find documentation for how to do it in F9,
other than reinstalling things from scratch. Anyone have any
pointers?

Fedora 10 updates
by Michael Magua
Hi list
Apologies if this has been asked previously. I'd like to follow the
development of Fedora 10 and I've currently got it installed. If I continue
to run 'yum update' would that keep me up to date with this release?

flash plugin sound
by Mark Haney
My daughter told me over the weekend that there was no sound from
flash-enabled websites for the last couple of weeks on her Fedora 9
system. (My middle daughter told me the same).
I thought it was a pulseaudio problem, but sound works everywhere else.
Has there been an update or something that's caused this problem? It
was working beautifully until then.
(I wish I had more information, but there's nothing in syslog, and I
haven't done updates in that time.
