Upgrading from RH9
by Ed Warner
Hi,
Having to switch to Fedora from RH9 because of the
cost, I have a few questions.
My system is running DHCP and a Firewall.
1. Can I even do an upgrade from the CD's instead of a
complete install?
2. What (configuration files) if anything do I need to
save?
3. Any guidance on the web--somewhere?
Thanks,

msg2qm is missing
by Zoltan Boszormenyi
Hi,
I am trying to improve the Hungarian translation of Scribus
but msg2qm (of the Qt tools) is missing.
I have a full installation of Fedora Core 1.
$ ls /usr/lib/qt-3.1/bin
assistant findtr lrelease moc qmake qtconfig uic
designer linguist lupdate qm2ts qt20fix qtrename140
findtr collects the translatable strings
but how could I make a .qm file?

Best regards,
Zoltán Böszörményi

The cpp dependency is still sitting on 3.3.2-1 which breaks apt and yum
for me:
gcc: Depends: cpp (= 3.3.2-1) but 3.3.2-2 is to be installed

The cpp dependency is still sitting on 3.3.2-1 which breaks apt and yum
for me. This happens if you also upgrade gcc-c++ to -2 and then try to
reinstall gcc:

Description :
Binutils is a collection of binary utilities, including ar (for
creating, modifying and extracting from archives), as (a family of GNU
assemblers), gprof (for displaying call graph profile data), ld (the

Question about new release of Fedora
by Fernando Álvarez-Uría
Hi all!
Im wondering, as 2.6.0-test10 has been released, if the next version of
Fedora with this kernel will be Fedora Test 4, or will jump directly to
Fedora Core 2.
The schedule says that will be a characteristic of Core2, but maybe a
new test 4 is relesed to try out 2.6.0 until it reaches a stable point.

arjan's 2.6test kernels and sound
by Joshua Legbandt
I've tried Arjan's test kernels in the past and discarded them due to
their inability to work with my wireless pcmcia card, but they all
loaded the sound modules properly on boot. I've installed Arjan's
kernel-2.6.0-0.test9.1.90 kernel which happily works with my pcmcia card
for wireless (which has always worked with vanilla 2.6test kernels), but
the sound modules no longer load on boot. The also appears to happens
with a vanilla 2.6test kernel (2.6-test9-bk17). I can't correlate this
to another other updates that I have done. The modules load properly
with modprobe.
Anyone have any ideas on this?

postfix update
by John Dennis
postfix-2.0.16-1 was added as id #17 to the fedora update list, this was
to fix: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=108960
There has been some limited testing by users reporting the bug who
report success, but additional testing would be prudent. The fundamental
change was to move from the .14 to .16 minor upstream rev to pick up an
upstream bug fix.

OT: nforce-1.0-0261 nvnet causes high cpu usage
by shrek-m＠gmx.de
hi,
fyi
msi k7n420pro nforce1 athlon xp1800+
the 'nforce-1.0-0261 nvnet' causes high cpu usage while network-access
eg.
squid 50%-99%
samba 50%-99%
nfs 25%-50%
--> absolutely unusable system
happens if nvnet is the only network-device too.
with disabled nvnet all is ok.
because i had no trouble under rhl 8.0 with nforce-1.0-0248/0256 i tried
NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0256.tar.gz,
this seems to be ok under fc1
fedora core 1
kernel-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl
NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.tar.gz
tar;make;make install
alias eth1 nvnet
eth0 = via-rhine = d-link
eth1 = nvnet = onboard-nic
