Cannot find any package matching --exclude=rhythmbox available to be
updated.
Cannot find any package matching --exclude=nautilus-media available to
be updated.
Cannot find any package matching --exclude=gnome-media available to be
updated.
No actions to take
WTF! Usage tells me I can exclude packages with --exclude=some_pkg_name
but that switch seems to be unknown to yum.

Re: Graphical Greeter -- Security gripe
by Steve Ward
The "last login" message string could appear in the splash screen that
comes up while GNOME is being initialized...
There just should not be any indication that the username is valid until
after the password is correctly entered. One of the reasons I also
intensely dislike "click to login" interfaces like XP and "Happy GNOME
with Browser"

Installing individual packages *after* installing Fedora
by Ben Halicki
Hi all,
does anyone know how to install individual packages, after Fedora has been installed? In redhat 9, I used to be able to do an 'upgrade' install, which would allow me to install individual packages, but can't figure out how to do it using redhat-config-packages.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Ben.

lvm2 question
by Neal Becker
This is after a clean install of FC2Test1:
/sbin/vgdisplay
vgdisplay -- ERROR: "/etc/lvmtab" doesn't exist; please run vgscan
[root@rpppc1 nbecker]# /sbin/vgscan
vgscan -- LVM driver/module not loaded?
I'm just trying to display properties of my lvms.

cdrecord --scanbus shows just one thing
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
cdrecord --scanbus is showing just my scanner. Has anything changed so
that it doesn't show my CD and DVD records? Both my DVDRW and CDRWs are
listed in grub.conf as being ide-cd
Using the 2.6.3-1.116 kernel, selinux is off.
TTFN

RE: Install Problem (system reboot)
by David.Estacio@sycoleman.com
Thanks for the information all, I should have checked the notes, but I
didn't, obviously, and that's my bad. I'll wait tell the next version comes
down the pipe.
Thanks again
David

LEASE-NOTES-x86-en
Note
Due to a mistake made at build-time, the ISO images for Fedora Core
1.90 Test 1 include support for i686-class processors only, meaning
that it will not be possible to boot Anaconda on systems with Intel
Pentium, older AMD, or VIA processors.
Note that this problem affects the bootability of the ISO images
only;
it is possible to upgrade non-i686 systems by configuring yum or
up2date to pull packages from rawhide.

Convert back to ext3?
by Neal Becker
Somewhat OT, but just a quick question. I installed FC2-T1 (+all updates)
onto reiser root. Now I found reiser doesn't support ACLs, so I'd like to
switch back to ext3.
I believe I can use FC2T1 as a rescue CD, mkext3fs, restore everthing from
tar, then fix /etc/fstab (change reiser to ext3), and I'm done? Anything
needed to be done with grub?

Well the script does a few additional things. Like I said ... it's not very general ... but it works and I use it for my special hardware :)

Install Problem (system reboot)
by David.Estacio@sycoleman.com
I downloaded, checked the MD5SUMs and burned CDs for the Core 2 Test 1
release. When attempting to install this software on my test machine,
Toshiba laptop K6-2 366, 128M RAM (I know, I know, but its my test machine),
I get to the initial screen (Fedora Core test) - install or upgrade in
graphical mode press <enter> etc... I press enter and get the normal
"loading VMLINUZ ........" and then I get the normal "loading initrd.img
....." it's at this point that it fails. What happens is the progress
indicator starts across the screen and then the machine reboots. I have
tried this same disk on other computers and the disk is not bad, I'm not
sure what else to try. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I did try all
the normal boot options though I don't believe it's making it far enough for
any of those to matter.
Thanks
David
