F12 GNOME panel has big gaps between launchers
by Brian Mury
I recently made the move from F11 to F12.
Application launchers on GNOME panels have much larger gaps between them
than they did on F11. I can move the icons by dragging with the middle
mouse button, but I cannot get them any closer together. This wastes a
lot of space on the panels, and I would really like to get them closer
together like they were in F11.
Is this an intentional change, or is something messed up on my system?
I did a fresh install of F12, not an upgrade, and I have tested with a
new user.
I've attached a screenshot of part of a panel in both F11 and F12 to
illustrate. I'm not sure if the list will allow attachments, if not I
will upload it somewhere and post a link.

I have a laptop with a working bcm4311 wireless adaptor, but I don't
know which packages were installed to get it working. Any ideas on
how to determine this? Fedora 11.

Virt Manager Doc's on F11 up to date?
by KC8LDO
I just finished installing Win XP Pro (32 bit) on an F11 box using the
create wizard. Everything seemed to go OK. Windows updated itself after
several reboots to sp3 with all of the latest security patches. Seems to run
fine for right now.
My question is about the documentation for virt manager. Looking at the
on-line manual installed for it I noticed I never saw several of the screens
shown there during the setup phase. Is the documentation really up to date?

two major failures after yesterday updates - anyone else
by mike cloaked
I have had an unprecented pair of events last night and this morning - two
machines (both Dell Inspiron 530s desktops) have died completely (
unbootable) - having been running on f11 very successfully for some time. I
had no reason to suspect the hardware at all and both were running fine from
new a couple of years ago - but I am now wondering if this has anything to
do with updates that came in on 28th October. The new kernel and a number of
other updates were installed yesterday morning on both machines. Both were
also using ext4 files systems.
I would like to know if this is a chance event or related to kernel changes,
particularly related to ext4?
If nobody else has anything remotely similar happen then I will conclude
that I am just very very unlucky - but I would like to know if anybody
else has had a mysterious total failure of their system in the past 24
hours.

Unable To Install In Graphic Mode
by David Dembrow
Attempting to install fedora 12, I get a message that there is not
enough memory to install in graphic mode and it reverts to a text mode
and installs some prepackaged set of applications. It is a system with
384 megabytes of memory and the graphic installer worked with fedora 11.
How much memory does the graphic installer need and/or is there another
way I can get to select a complete set of packages with the text based
installer?

Tomcat6 docs
by Boggiano
Hi all,
I'm a newbie tomcat user, so please forgive me if this is a stupid
question! ;)
I've installed the package tomcat6-docs-webapp-6.0.18-9.2.fc11.noarch,
but it contains all zero size html files.
Of course, I can't see anything, as well, if I use the URL:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/docs/
Any advice,please ?
Thanks
