Re: CD version gone?

I think one might have USB, but the BIOS would be too old to allow
booting from it.
Was there an official decision by the Fedora steering people to not
make a CD version for Prime (and somewhere I could read the rationale
for this)? I could probably find ways to work around the problem, but
that doesn't stop it from being extremely frustrating to not have a CD
version. Please don't let Fedora develop a culture of ignoring users
with older computers and older hardware (and no internet).
As for using pungi to make a CD set, this is a possibility, but I
think most people who need CD versions will not even know about pungi
or how to use it. People will probably just end up staying with older
versions of Fedora, or changing distro. Pungi may be ok for users who
know it exists, have good enough internet connections, and already
have an operating system that can run pungi, but don't expect it to be
a viable solution for "Fedora users" in general.

Re: ipw3945/iwlwifi/iwl3945 users, please test latest davej kernels
by hondaman
Bought a new toshiba p105-s9337 yesterday using the 3945ABG wireless (rev
02), and now find myself here. Dave's .3149 kernel was the first that was
able to let me at least try and connect to an AP in NetworkManager. Any
previous kernel, and it simply wasnt an option, like my wireless didnt
exist. I wasnt able to connect to the AP yet, as I encountered a crash.
After I tried to create a new wireless network and failed, I then tried the
(whats the other wireless option, join existing? I cant remember, the
option isnt there anymore) other wireless option in NetworkManager, and
crashed. Sent the bug report, rebooted, and now my wireless again doesnt
appear. Only wired as an option.

I miss the old artwork

FC7 has some nice, new artwork - but I really still like the FC6 version. I
hope it will still be available.

Duplicate files - Kickoff RPM - KDE
by Johan Cwiklinski
Hello,
I've been trying for a while to build "kickoff", an alternative menu for
KDE.
This software is developped by suse and is in fact a patched kdebase/kicker.
The problem is made of many files which are already present from kdebase
package.
I've told one of the developers about this problem, who said me to try
to install only "kicker/" and "kcontrol/kicker/" subdirs ; but I don't
have any idea how to achieve this properly.
My spec file in its actual state is there :
http://odysseus.x-tnd.be/fedora/kickoff/

kernel package
by Oliver Falk
Hi!
A question; Before I open BZ... Is the kernel team (I see Dave Jones is
doin' much; that's why CC:) willing to help AlphaCore and add patches to
kernel spec?
No, it's nothing for upstream. Just fixes for the spec. Some
if(n)arch's, sections for alpha, a config, ... Nothing that should break
primary archs...
[ ] Willing
[ ] Not willing

Ext4 for F7
by Christopher Brown
Ext4 appears to be enabled in the latest kernels - will anaconda support it
in the same way as it unofficially supports jfs? As in users need to type
'linux ext4' at the prompt to enable to option during install. Or are we
looking at F8? Sorry if this has been asked already but if the above is not
the case I'd be interested to know why. Reports are that it is now quite
stable... :)
Cheers
Chris

I knew, you know that :-)
However. I wonder... /me thought, that all ev56 have bwx...

OK. Good to know you're on it.

CONFIG_SMP=y
CONFIG_NR_CPUS=16
Is what I saw recently... Will put a up and smp config in my tree now.
If it builds fine, someone will be able to test it - I'm sure :-)
