Fedora can't read a Flash Stick Drive 8gb
by Mickey
Fedora 15
Did a update and now fedora can't read a 8gb flash stick, previously
there was files move to this stick, but not now.
Plugged this stick into two different Fedora 15 computers and neither
can mount or read it.

Swapping HDD....
by EGO-II.1
I am currently using a Gateway T-6321 laptop with a 320 GB SATA HD. I'm
finding it's running out of room, with all the pdf's and other files I
have accumulated. I want to swap it out to a 750GB SATA HDD. How can I
do this when I don't have another laptop with the same exact specs as
the Gateway? In other words is it possible to transfer everything from
my current HDD to the 750GB one using an external USB enclosure? will I
be able to then install the 750GB HDD and have ALLmy settings and ALL my
applications transfer over intact? Any help someone could provide would
be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

upgrading f16 (32bit) to F17 (64bit) when /usr is is a partition
by Joel Rees
I was planning things out, then I thought, just maybe it'll work, and
tried the straight upgrade.
Is there any way to recover?
(Without losing my precious list of installed apps that started from
the security live CD?)
And is there any way to glue a separate /usr partition in so that the
accursed thing can boot if I can get it to find the F17 kernel?
(Before someone jumps all over me for daring to deny the new
conventional wisdom that /usr should be an alias for / or whatever, I
had to break it up like that to get around the stupid basic
partitioning scheme forced by the OEM MSWindows home edition or
whatever Microsoft calls their attempt to answer freedom with the
dole-by-force. Not that I agree with combining /bin and /usr/bin, but
in this case I had hard reasons, not just the ones that will become
obvious next year when it all hits the fan.)

Some Fedora 17 Questions
by Thomas Dineen
Gentle People:
I just installed, last night, Fedora 17, on a PC! Things went
very well overall.
Bravo good work!
Following this I successfully loaded all the updates with thew
update tool,
and again bravo it worked!
But now some questions:
1) The on screen menus, located at the top left of the screen, seem very
dark, to
the point of being almost unreadable. Keep in mind it is not just the
monitor, an HP
w2408h, in that the computer shares the monitor with three others via a
four way switch.
The other computers produce a bright screen, each working as expected.
So is there
any way to adjust this? Keeping in mind that I spent the evening going
through the menus.
2) Periodically parts of the screen, typically the area contained by the
boundaries of menu
entries will go all wonkers, looking like a 1960's TV on an antenna that
has lost horizontal
sync. How do I fix this?
3) I tend to be a fan of the older format of pull down menus, is there
any way to do pull
down menus?
4) Is there any way to totally disable the screen saver, not just
setting it to a few hours?
5) Saving the screen setup: Is there any way to save the current
configuration of the screen,
shell windows, tool windows, and such at logout, so that they reappear
automatically on login?
Thanks for the help.

preupgrade does not find F18
by Frank Zimmermann
Hi,
I'm traying to upgrade my F17 to F18 with preugrade. However, launching
the GUI leaves me with no options to choose (yes I've ticked "show
unstable test versions") and a
preupgrade-cli "Fedora 18 (Spherical Cow)"
results in "No version with the name Fedora 18 (Spherical Cow)
available". I've downloaded the releases.txt to folder I'm launchign
preugrade from with no avail.
Any more hints on how I'd be able to upgrade the system?
Thanks Frank
