fresh installation F10 fails
by Peter Lesterhuis 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

On a new box with Vista pre-installed I want to also install F10. I want to have a dual boot system. I have done this an couple of times before so I was surprised to see it fail. In Vista I made the partition shrink and created a new one. I then put the F10 installation-DVD in the machine and rebooted. The DVD started spinning as expected. The question to check the media came up. After the message that anaconda was running the screen fell blank and the installation process stopped. I rebooted several times, every time with the same result. The same happened when I inserted the F10-live cd. Finally I inserted the Knoppix live cd; after a short while there was a message that it was looking for the installation-DVD, but it could not find it. A lot of devices ran over the screen, like "/dev/scd0 /dev/scd1" etc. The device with the DVD was not found. I never had this problem before. Can't the installer mount the dvd-device? Does anyone have a suggestion? Peter

Dear all, has anybody tried to create a F10 respin? I'm unable to do this with revisor, I've always got a message: No Package Matching anaconda-runtime. This is a required package.

F10 as the family computer
by lanas 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

Hi all, I thought that perhaps F10 could be Ok for the family computer. Historically I've put SuSE on that machine because it tends to offer all of the internet media stuff easily by means of the packman extra repository. Does rpm fusion caters to these needs and is it possible to end up with a F10 32 bits install with all those internet facilities like flash and media playing (eg. Youtube) and also xine/mplayer plug-ins with a full range of codecs ? Thanks for any suggestions. Cheers-

I seem to have entered F-11
by Timothy Murphy 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

On one machine, which I rarely use under Linux, I ran "sudo yum update" last night, and it installed hundreds of fc11 packages. It all seems to work fine, so I have no real reason to complain. But as far as I recall, I ran preupgrade at some point to upgrade from Fedora-9, and don't remember doing or not doing anything unusual. Can anyone explain to me what happened? I'm inclined to leave things as they are, since as I said it seems to be working, and it is nice to be an F-11 person. But is there any way of going backwards to F-10? Incidentally, when I ran "yum upgrade" on this machine I was advised to run yum-complete-transaction , but when I tried that it failed with many errors. I may say I have installed F10 with preupgrade on several machines; it is just this one which seems to be odd.

Fedora (DVD release) install from USB thumbdrive?
by Steve Repo 30 Nov '08

30 Nov '08

Hello, I successfully created a Live version of fedora 10 onto my 8GB USB thumbdrive. It works flawlessly. However, I prefer a full blown version of Fedora 10 (DVD release) available for my installs from the USB drive. How do I install the DVD version of Fedora 10 to my thumbdrive? Since I do lot of installs on various computers, installing it from a thumb drive is much more convenient since none of the boxes have DVD drives and I rather not carry a external USB drive and DVD for install. Thanks for any help, Steve

On occasion I get two logwatch reports for the same day. Usually 4 hours and 2 minutes later. Any ideas where to look for the problem? Thanks, -- Knute Johnson linux(a)www.knutejohnson.com
