Hi Jerry,
I looked at your IP to see what kind of router you had.
It appears to be supplied by your ISP, because telnet showed:
Sawtooth Technologies, LLC Stevenson, WA Unauthorized Access is Prohibited
gw-sawtooth.pdx.rain.net 98.10.20-0 For Service Call +1 509 427-4865
Sawtooth Technologies Ether 204.119.0.254 PL/DHGL/109201/ELG 204.119.4.30
So you may need to call them to get the password or to forward port 22
for you.

What microsoft has to say about XP
by Dotan Cohen
I think that more people mould move away from WIndows if they read the notices
on the microsoft website:
"The simple act of visiting an Internet site can be extremely damaging to the
system"
from:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/...
Important to note that the article quoted's purpose is to convince the user to
create and use a standard account, and not the system's default Administrator
account. What this means is that the system's default beaviour is to make the
simple act of visiting an internet site extremely damaging to the system. Why
on earth would people use such an OS?

FC3 on external PCMCIA/USB disk (success)
by Michael J Gruber
Hi everyone,
I'm using an external USB disk, with the USB 2.0 controller being a
PCMCIA card. FC3 installed happily on this disk, alas it didn't boot
quite as happily from it. (Of course, I have grub on a /boot partition
of the internal IDE drive.)
Earlier Fedora versions came with the pcinitrd script of pcmcia-cs which
facilitated the creation of initrds for booting with PCMCIA, FC3 doesn't
have it. Documentation one gets from googling mostly refers to 2.4
kernels, where one has to hack /linuxrc to include cardmgr...
After experimenting a while with hacking /linuxrc and /init, I found out
that mkinitrd (which comes with FC3) already does the job, as long as
one is aware of the timing problem: PCMCIA and USB need some time to
come up before devices will be recognized.
Also, minitrd's option --with-usb always puts usb modules before modules
you specify with --with=, which is a bad thing in this case. So, just
put the usb modules after the pcmcia modules, using --with=usb-storage
etc. mkinitrd includes a "sleep 5" after loading usb-storage, and this
does the trick.
If enough people are interested I'll write up some more details.

mplayer is there, and I reinstalled it (by force) with the same rpm, but
it did not have the 0: in front. I assumed it was what the system was

Re: FC3 mediacheck

I think this comment was from Satish about ide=nodma. Why is that
necessary? I've encountered the mediacheck failures similarly for the
first time ever. If the drive operates normally, why do we need nodma
in order to check only disk2 and disk3 of the CD set?
I'm not intending this as disrespectful to anyone; I'm truly curious
about it. Out of the four install images, all four pass the MD5
checksum test, and two out of four pass the mediacheck. On my CD
writer, cdrecord reports that the buffer was always adequately filled
and burnfree protection was never needed. So assuming the integrity of
the media is OK (seems to be, since cdrecord reports no errors and the
CD is readable), I'd suspect a problem with the original ISO image.
Whether you use DMA or not on your drive doesn't seem to have any
bearing on things....else other I/O would have trouble too.
Am I missing something?

FC3 and ghostscript
by Bill R. Williams
I went straight from FC1 to FC3 and something ugly has appeared.
(I mention this because it might have appeared in FC2, but I wouldn't
know.
The ghostscript output UGLY! Big clunky-looking font.
Easy to create example: (using yum startup -- any [ba]sh script will do.)
$ enscript -p out.ps -G -C --color --pretty-print=sh /etc/init.d/yum
$ gv out.ps # or whatever GS viewer you use
The above example you can do a perl script (--pretty-print=perl) or
whatever.
Part of the problem is easy to notice that because there is COLOR in
out.ps the gv display will have some text "backed-up" over preceding
characters. Not so noticeable for those who don't do a lot of
'enscript' of scripts, is that the font is big and clunky and runs off
the right-hand side of the "page".
I do quite a bit of programming in various scripts and sometimes
C/C++, and I have a need to produce nice program listings.
I have used 'enscript' for years; from RH v7.x through FC1 it produced
exactly what I needed. With FC3, it is just unusable for my purposes.
Note that NO FONT is specified, so I am used to getting the default
which is mono-spaced resulting in output that has all characters lined
up as they should be. (No variable-width character adjustment.
Kerning?) I have tried many variations specifying a font to get back
to what I want. If I specify something which produces variable-width
characters, the output is "correct" in that there is no "backed-up"
text due to the color specification; however, this type of font is no
good for program listing purposes.
I have determined that the problem is with ghostscript! (Any utility
I use which displays postscript uses ghostscript.) I can produce my
standard enscript output on my FC3 system at home, take it to my
office and look at it on my RH 7.3 system with gv and it is as I want
it to be.
This problem is significant to me for several reasons, and affects my
intention to upgrade my system at work to FC3.
Help will REALLY be appreciated!
(Including the proper "official" place to post this.)
