Same firstboot bug as test 2
by Todd Booher
Just installed test 3 and you still lose the cursor on the firstboot
screen. The workaround is to change to terminal 1 and then back to
terminal 7 and the mouse works again.
This was a clean install of test 3 on an IBM T30 thinkpad.
I'll update the bug in bugzilla.
This is definitely a showstopper for new users as they will have no
idea to switch terminals.

Haven't had a chance to look it over yet - but does it offer any
hooks into the Fedora iptables "services commands" (saving rules, etc)?

Troubles creating sessions
by Fernando Álvarez-Uría
Hi all!
Ive just installed xfce4; it creates an entry in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions
called Xfce4, but it doesnt appear in the menu of gdm (the loging screen).
Does anyone knows where to place the scripts for starting new sessions
of window managers?
Untill redhat9, it was done as usual: putting the script in
/etc/X11/gdm/Sessions.

Fedora and Nvidia ?????
by Patrick
After installing Fedora (looks really nice!),
I tried to install the Nvdia 4496 driver and ended up with a message telling me that it couldn't install it:
" You appear to be compiling the NVIDIA kernel module with
a compiler different from the one that was used to compile
the running kernel."
If have been looking around (including the Nvidia site) and came up with some difficult sounding solutions: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=d20d4f000c166c7285b258de...
Since I'm pretty new to Linux, I don't understand much of it (I could install the driver with RH9 though).
Would it be too much asked, but could someone please explain me how to get that thing up and running? Or should I wait for a new updated Nvidia driver (any idea when to expect it) ???
It's just that I'm dying to start using FC1.....
Any ideas or help is very much appriciated!!!!
Thanks!!

directory names mismatch on the cds
by Felix Roeser
Hey,
after installing fedora without KDE I decided to give it a try. So, i started redhat-config-packages and selected the KDE stuff. But all I get is an error message : "/mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/kdebase-3.1.4-6.i386.rpm not found". This directory RedHat doesn't really match which the cd layout, should be Fedora instead.
Seems to be a bug (don't know if it's new) in the package list.
I could copy all the files from the cd to my own apt repository or download them from the net. But perhaps somebody knows a workaround?!

Securing Fedora?
by Mark G. Spencer
I'm looking for suggestions on something comprehensive I can read regarding securing Fedora. I want to use a Fedora machine as a personal web and email server, but also want to make sure it's locked down before I throw it up live. Would any Red Hat book dealing with security be appropriate? I understand there is plenty of reading on securing Linux distributions in general, but figure there is probably some more timely information I would need to know since Fedora is more bleeding edge ..
Thanks,

Fedora install exits abnormally - "received signal 15"..
by Mark G. Spencer
Hello,
After getting some great advice from others on this mailing list regarding FTP installation of Fedora, I was able to begin an install using FTP on an older Sony laptop.
I thought everything was going great when I saw that the Fedora install logged into my FTP server and began downloading Fedora/base/netstg2.img, but the screen eventually blanked out (I think after this file was downloaded? The NIC was obviously transferring data and then stopped) and I got the following message:
"install exited abnormally -- received signal 15"
And then the install shuts down.
Is this something I might be able to fix? The laptop is a Sony PCG-505G w/ a Pentium MMX. The NIC I'm using is a Linksys PCM100. (I tried a couple other NIC's without success, this PCM100 finally worked and got DHCP, logged into my FTP, etc.)
Thanks for the help,
Mark
