200k for the postgresql library, 100k for the mysql library, kerberos
support alone is more 'bloated' than 300k.
If you mean the mysql client library is part of a 5MB package and requires
a dozen perl packages, maybe. It may be unfortunate that you need it even
when you don't use it.
But then again, look at the rest of your system and what stuff you have
installed that you may never use. /usr/share/doc, locale, the terminal
emulation stuff, maybe some -devel packages you didn't know were there.
5MB is peanuts and a small price to pay for the flexibility of having both
mysql and postgresql support and not having to manage every permutation
of functionality. You know what distribution you end up having if you go
there... :)

My /etc/modprobe.conf is exactly the same:

options snd-card-0 index=0

The only error message I can see in /var/log/messages (and clear related
to kernel 2.6.10-1.741 is the following:
Jan 17 07:24:23 dc4u kernel: PCI: Using ACPI for IRQ routing

I tried to restart the new kernel with the pci=routeirq argument, but it
does not work better.

of course Windows installs most everything and turns most of it on by
default at startup.
I can install and configure samba on Linux as easily as I can install
Windows 2000 server UNTIL I get to ldap. That takes me longer on Linux.
I definitely prefer BIND and DHCP server on Linux to Windows. Of course,
speed of install/configure is just one of the considerations. There is
stability, lifetime cost of ownership, speed, etc. I am certain that a
Samba server outperforms Windows 2000 server.
A single provider, single set of tools concept of Windows is a distinct
advantage. On Linux - I would suggest webmin <http://www.webmin.com>
As for a 'complete config walkthrough' for Samba/Winbind - I think
you'll find that at samba.org - Samba by Example
<http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/>
For someone with a good working knowledge of Windows networking - domain
setup - accounts, profiles, policies - it's pretty easy.
Emacs vs. Regedit.exe - I'll take emacs every time. But hey, that's just
me. I'm sure that some, far more knowledgable than me, would go the
other way.
Lastly, knowledge is an investment. Not spending the time to gain
knowledge is less than what I expect of myself and not only sells myself
short, but also denies my clients of other, perhaps better
possibilities.

Hi Philippe:
If you haven't already done the install, you could create a "home" partition
if you have enough space on the hard drive. You would need to use fdisk or
some kind of partitioning software to reduce the size of the partition where
you would create the new partition, then create it as some name other than
"/home/xxxx". Then copy everything from the original "home" to the new one
keeping the permissions and ownership as it is. You would then have to do
some name changing: the original "/home" to something else and the new
partition to "/home/xxxx". That all should be done as root.
After the copying and renaming is done, you should reboot just to make sure
that everything is working as before. If so, go ahead and do your fresh
install but DON'T reformat the "/home" partition.

Are you running the 'canna' server? I believe thats what displays the

display.

Hmmm, could you also try booting with
acpi=off
instead of
pci=routeirq
Did you try reconfiguring your soundcard using system-config-soundcard?
With the old kernel does your soundcard still work? Could you compare
the output from the old and the new kernel?

Strange; I have a Fedora box running DHCP, DNS etc. and didn't see a
broadcast storm (though I did turn off mDNSResponder soon after
installation as an unneeded service). I'd have though these things would
be designed to co-exist peacefully with the ubiqitous DHCP etc.

Hi list,
what happened to rpm.livna.org? Since days I am trying to apt-get
update, but the server response is allways timing out. Is the server
down, or do I have to change something in my config?

Is the result correct? Here's what I get on my system with an ASUS
SP97-V motherboard:
# dmidecode | grep PCI | wc -l
9
No way is that correct. I had to change the filter for grep to get
the correct count.
# dmidecode | grep "PCI Slot" | wc -l
4
So even if I changed the filter to "Slot" the results would not be
that useful. The ASUS SP97-V MB has 4 PCI and 3 ISA slots, but only 6
openings. One opening is shared. The information dmidecode provides
is useful but incomplete. dmicode cannot determine if an ISA slot is
occupied. Even if you have a new motherboard with all PCI slots the
data provided would not tell you that an installed card is oversize
and requires an adjacent slot or that an opening is used for an I/O
panel. You are still going to need to use keep track of what is
installed.

acpi=off does not help.
The sound card works ok with kernel 724, but no sound with kernel 741.
> Did you try reconfiguring your soundcard using system-config-soundcard?
Yes ; I do not see any particular error message.
The identification of the sound card is correct. The only problem is
that ... i just do hear the so beautiful test sound !

Yes, no problem !

I do not see any significant difference concerning the sound card. You
can have a look at the corresponding sections of /var/log/messages:
When I start kernel 2.6.9-1.724_FC3:

When I start kernel 2.6.9-1.741_FC3:

I can't find a printer maintenance utility for my epson cx3200. I've
just tried escputil but it doesn't seem to do anything for me.
Any ideas?
Duncan

My list of unresolved issues in fc3
* get a printer maintenance utility for printer under cups in fc3
* get java working in fc3
* get recognition of danish characters in filenames on fc3.
* get thunderbird address book working in both os's (fc3 and winxp)
* share profile in firefox across os's (got bookmarks working - is that
it?)
* get explorer running with wine, check for netbanking.

well, you're (partially) right. It depends on the version of dmidecode.
In my case dmidecode was right. With a "newer" version
root at elmstreet / # dmidecode | grep PCI | wc -l
7
root at elmstreet / # dmidecode | grep PCI
PCI is supported
Type: 32-bit PCI
Type: 32-bit PCI
Type: 32-bit PCI
Type: 32-bit PCI
Type: 32-bit PCI
Type: 32-bit PCI
With the version you have it's obviously somthing different.

What is the output of dmidecode on your system. Could you send me
the output (maybe off-list)?
