Making a DVD probably isn't too hard (it somewhat depends on how
anaconda will handle things), since the total size of Extras for one
arch is under 4.5G.
Making CDs will not be as straight-forward, since it won't all fit on
one.

setgroups() moved?
by Kjartan Maraas
Hi.
It looks like this function moved? The man page says:
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
but it seems like it's really living in <grp.h>:
[kmaraas@localhost xpl]$ grep setgroups /usr/include/*.h
/usr/include/grp.h:extern int setgroups (size_t __n, __const __gid_t
*__groups) __THROW;
What's the right way of getting at this function? Preferrably in a way
that works with other distros/OSes?
Cheers

Dell 2005FPW Flat Panel and xorg
by Mark Derricutt
Hi all, I just got a Dell 2005FP ( 20" widescreen flatpanel ) and
noticed Xorg didn't like it, nor did system-config-display.
I did manage to find a reference to this monitor in fedoraforums.com
which had a copy of what I needed to add to xorg.conf[1], but I was
wondering if support for this monitor was available in whatever
xorg/system-config-display is going to be in FC4?

Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "DELL 2005FPW"

FC4 slimfast slimfest
by Elliot Lee
Hi all,
Here's a heads up that we need to get rid of about 300M of packages to
make sure that FC4 continues to fit on 4 CD's. Right now eclipse, xfce,
xemacs, cfengine, and all the games are leading candidates. We also may
try to start removing stuff from Core in hopes that it will appear in
Extras if someone cares about it.
Nothing is set in stone, but if you want to write in favor of keeping
something, you'll have to suggest something else of equal or greater size
to axe instead.
You can view the list of new packages since FC3 (sorted by package size)
at http://people.redhat.com/sopwith/new-packages.txt
FYI,

RPM needs to go on a diet.
by Sam Varshavchik
I decided to clean up some old crud.
# rpm -e kernel-2.6.6-1.435.2.1 kernel-2.6.6-1.435.2.3 kernel-2.6.8-1.521
kernel-2.6.7-1.494.2.2 kernel-2.6.9-1.3_FC2 kernel-2.6.9-1.6_FC2
kernel-2.6.9-1.11_FC2
I was watching this with top(1).
This command took six minutes to complete, with rpm taking up 100% CPU for
six minutes straight.
Yes, these are large packages that are being removed. No, even with all
that, taking six minutes, a dual Opteron box, with SCSI RAID, is
unreasonable.
