NVIDIA Question
by David St.Clair 17 Jan '22

17 Jan '22

This may be a dumb question, but why can't Redhat distribute NVIDIA binary drivers? In NVIDIA's licence (http://www.nvidia.com/object/nv_swlicense.html) it says: "2.1.2 Linux Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of Section 2.1.1, SOFTWARE designed exclusively for use on the Linux operating system may be copied and redistributed, provided that the binary files thereof are not modified in any way (except for unzipping of compressed files)." So, what's keeping RedHat from putting the drivers in the distribution? If it's a GPL thing, would it be easy to just download it during installation or at least give the option to the user? Thanks, -- David St.Clair dstclair(a)cs.wcu.edu

XFS ?
by Manohar, Navin S. (Export) 16 Sep '03

16 Sep '03

I noticed that the SGI XFS source code has been included in Severn's kernel source tree. Will XFS will be part of next official release of RedHat ? TIA. Navin Manohar.

Nautilus still doesn't do wildcards?
by Steve Bergman 11 Sep '03

11 Sep '03

I just updated to the current severn-updates channel and was hoping that maybe nautilus would accept wildcards. Googling around a bit suggests to me that not many people care about that feature (or lack, thereof). Am I the only one that wants to be able to type: ./*.rpm and see all my rpm files, etc? Not a complaint. Just curious. I mean, even my old DOS file manager could do this. Or perhaps this is supported and I just don't know how to do it? -Steve

Why xcdroast and not gcombust?
by Steve Bergman 08 Sep '03

08 Sep '03

I was just wondering why xcdroast gets included as the standard cd writer and not gcombust. I always end up frustrated with xcdroast and gcombust is quite friendly. Also, it's obvious how to write an existing iso image with gcombust and I don't see that xcdroast can even do it. Plus gcombust fits in nicely with Bluecurve and is at least a GTK app, whereas xcdroast is, well, whatever it is. I there a licensing issue or something? Then again, eventually, I suppose, nautilus will do it all. Just curious. -Steve

What is minimum RAM to install?
by Janina Sajka 08 Sep '03

08 Sep '03

Is 64mB the minimum RAM required for installation these days? I cannot find a reference in the Installation Guide for Shrike, so I'm askint on the list. I know that I failed on an old Pentium that had only 32mb, and I couldn't think of any other reason for that failure. PS: I note Suse is now requiring 96mb. So, is maybe even 64 not enough for RH? -- Mike A.

Uglified Icons
by Gerry Tool 05 Sep '03

05 Sep '03

Since an upgrade to rawhide, some of my icons have turned ugly (dark black borders), particularly in the Gnome Action menu (Menu Panel) and on the KDE panel. The ones that have the dark border are typically the newer redhat artwork. Are others experiencing this? Is this a designed "new look", or an artifact of incomplete design? Gerry

2.6.0-test1 kernel? gcc 3.3 compiler?
by Robert P. J. Day 05 Sep '03

05 Sep '03

at the risk of being perhaps a little too far out there on the bleeding edge, i'm thinking of dumping the 2.6.0-test1 kernel on my severn system today, just to push the boundaries. in addition, what are the implications of upgrading to gcc 3.3? and what other RPMs would have to go along with that to have a usable system? just feeling the need ... the need for speed rday

iptables & masquerading...

02 Sep '03

I just upgraded from a pre 8 beta to the current beta and it looks like masquerading is borked...
