I'd buy that theory if the directories at root where soft links or hard
links to the /mnt/xxxx directories, but they are not. Watch this:

OT: How to find amount of free memory from within a C program
by Ranjan Maitra
Dear friends,
This is a general question with the exception that I use Fedora
exclusively:-) Besides, this -- along with R-help -- are the two most
knowledgeable and helpful mailing lists I know of.
In any case, is there a ready way (function or such) to find out how
much memory is available to me from inside a C program? I would like
this to be as generic as possible.
I tried getrusage() but I could not figure out if there was a field for
free/available memory in the rusage struct. In fact, there does not
seem to be.
Any other suggestions?
Many thanks again for this OT help, and best wishes,
Ranjan

Quick and dirty partition table repair?
by Tom Horsley
I've been rearranging a disk with gparted and it left
me with this:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb4 2048 976773119 488385536 5 Extended
/dev/sdb5 4096 51204095 25600000 83 Linux
/dev/sdb6 51206144 976771071 462782464 83 Linux
If I try to mount the partitions at boot time, something
gets very confused by the extended partition being /dev/sdb4
instead of /dev/sdb1.
Is there a quick way I can move the 4th primary partition entry
to the 1st primary partition entry?
Or is a hex edit and extreme care my only hope?
Or maybe it would all be simpler if I just DDed the one partition
I'm trying to keep to a file, reinitialize the disk from scratch,
and then DD it back (making sure to make the partition the identical
size).

many thanks in advance, and best wishes,

GRUB missing Windows boot option (was Re: Issues with Fedora 15 install)
by Pedro Francisco
Should just be to add at the "bottom" of /boot/grub/menu.lst (below to
similar ones)
title Windows XP
rootnoverify(hd0,0)
chainloader +1
No need to do anything else.
Reference http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=145424 (the "grub",
"setup" and "grub-install" parts do not apply to your case since GRUB is
already installed).
In my F15 with Win7 32 bits the option was added correctly by the Fedora 15
installer.

Issues with Fedora 15 install
by Sanjay Arora
Hello all
I installed Fedora 15 on a system with Intel Core i7-2600 processor, Intel
DH67BL motherboard and 1 TB Hitachi HDD. The system had a prior Windows 7
install. However, the Fedora 64 bit install detected it simply as "other"
and did not setup a Dual boot using a grub menu, as I found with
installations of Fedora 11 & WinXP. Now my WinXP booting is lost!
How do I enable dual boot? Request pointers to a step-by-step instructions.
Secondly, is this a bug? Has it been removed in later updates?
Second, I am using a TP link WiFi router with builtin four port 10/100
switch. This system is plugged directly into that. The onboard NIC is Intel
PRO gigabit port. In Windows 7 the Network connection is 100 Mbit one, but
in Fedora 15 the Network Connection is 10 Mbit....all hardware is same. What
to do?
I am looking to install & test a legacy xbase compiler call Harbour. Its
available on ATrpms repo as a binary, otherwise one has to compile it from
the source. Does integrating ATrpms repo with Fedora entail any functional
issues relating any sort of clash with Fedora repos at a later date? Should
I install harbour & maintain it everytime from source...which is a trouble,
though doable...or would adding ATrpms be ok? I have never used it, so
looking for feedback for its use by novice users.
Am presently updating the Fedora 15 install through a 256 kbps broadband, so
expect it will complete by late tonight. Please do give your comments on all
issues.
With best regards.
Sanjay.

Intel graphics bug?
by Tom Horsley
Does anyone have neverputt installed on an nvidia or ATI graphics
system? Do you also see the weird cross running through the ball
that shows up in this sample screenshot?
http://localhost/comcast/hardware/zooty/images/neverputt-cross.png
I don't know if this is some strange new feature added to the
game while I was building my new system, or shows a bug in
the intel graphics drivers :-). The point where the beams
cross very consistently follows the ball around all the
time.
This is on fedora 15 64 bit. neverball-1.5.4-4.fc15.x86_64
is the version of the game I have installed.

SVN over HTTP and mod_security
by Philip Prindeville
I had configured and installed subversion (SVN) to run over HTTP as the transport, but when I tried to use it I got:
[Mon Sep 05 11:23:29 2011] [error] [client ::1] ModSecurity: Warning. Operator LT matched 20 at TX:inbound_anomaly_score. [file "/etc/httpd/modsecurity.d/base_rules/modsecurity_crs_60_correlation.conf"] [line "31"] [msg "Inbound Anomaly Score (Total Inbound Score: 15, SQLi=, XSS=): Method is not allowed by policy"] [hostname "localhost"] [uri "/svn/astlinux/trunk/package/linux-atm"] [unique_id "TmUFkcCoAQoAABnnJF8AAAAD"]
[Mon Sep 05 11:23:29 2011] [error] [client ::1] ModSecurity: Warning. Operator LT matched 20 at TX:inbound_anomaly_score.

[Mon Sep 05 11:23:29 2011] [error] [client ::1] ModSecurity: Warning. Operator LT matched 20 at TX:inbound_anomaly_score.

when doing commits, etc. I was thinking it would be nice if mod_security out-of-the-box supported SVN...
I'm looking at the supposed offending rule:
SecRule TX:INBOUND_ANOMALY_SCORE "@gt 0" \
"chain,phase:5,t:none,log,noauditlog,pass,msg:'Inbound Anomaly Score (Total Inbound Score: %{TX.INBOUND_ANOMALY_SCORE}, SQLi=%{TX.SQLI_SCORE}, XSS=%{TX.XSS_SCORE}): %{tx.inbound_tx_msg}'"
SecRule TX:INBOUND_ANOMALY_SCORE "@lt %{tx.inbound_anomaly_score_level}" "skipAfter:END_CORRELATION"
and thinking "Wha.....t?"
If the .conf files out-of-the-box can't support SVN by default, how about at least having a post-install script that modifies the rules to accommodate SVN?
Or what about SVN installing its own rules if it detects mod_security is installed and enabled?
But less abstractly: does anyone know what's required to make SVN-over-HTTP work with mod_security?
Thanks,
-Philip

Using Bitmap Font
by Steven Oliver
I'm having trouble installing and using bitmap fonts on my new Fedora 15 install. I prefer to use a font called Dina when I program (found here: http://www.proggyfonts.com/index.php?menu=download). It's a bitmap font, as opposed to a TTF or some other fancy format.
So far I've tried creating a ~/.fonts directory and placing it there. While that causes the font to show up in selection menus actually selecting results in one of two situations: the font fails to render properly or the program, realizing the failure to display, appears to just fallback to a known working font.
Has anyone else had font issues similar to this? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
I found a link giving a workaround for this:

There is no syslinux.cfg, i guess the equivalent one in fedora would be:
