The contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo are exactly as stated above.

Re: thinking of moving to Fedora
by Paul Vandenberg
I also tried Mandrake 10 Community. There are things I like about
Mandrake, but overall, I like the way Fedora does things better. I
like the Bluecurve interface very much. It's more a look 'n feel thing
for me.
I also like the Fedora Community better. Everyone here seems much more
positive. Sometimes I feel that the Mandrake Club forums are just one
big whining session.
Well....that's my 2 cents.

RE: undefined reference while building non SMP kernels

Thanks, that really solved my problem. However, I must point out that
searching the archives for "active_load_balance" produced no results.

Because you did not rum "make oldconfig"?
Run make oldconfig twice (!) before you start compiling. Has been
discussed on this list a mio times, search the archives for
"active_load_balance" if you want more info.

thinking of moving to Fedora
by ems
As some of you know, I'm new to this list.
Regarding my hardware post, I feel it should be OK with Fedora.
At the moment, I'm having an issue with Mandrake. I'm not happy with the way
they are doing things.
Anyway, what I would like to ask is if some of you folk here could kindly tell
you prefer Fedora to Mandrake or any other distro for that matter.
I might also mention that presently I'm running Mandrake 10 Community, with
the 2.6 kernel and the latest Kde etc. And the new kernel is definitely alot
faster and smoother.
So when Core 2 comes with all this new stuff, it should be a real beauty for
you all :)
Cheers ems
ps: Mdk 10 C, has about 500-800 megs of bugfixes to download :)

Fedora Core 2 test2 and 2.6 kernel questions
by John Que
Hello,
according to fedora WebSite,
http://fedora.redhat.com,
"Fedora Core 2 test2 Available!
A test release of Fedora Core 2 is now available from Red Hat and at
distinguished mirror sites near you, .... This test release is specifically
designed for SELinux testing, as well as testing the 2.6 kernel..."
questions:
is the official long awaited 2.6.0 kernel (or 2.6.1,2.6.2 , etc.).?
Is it a full kernel release or only a part of it ?
what is approximately the intended time interval between test2 to test 3 ,
to test4?
Is it a week or 2 ? or 1-2 months ?
regards,
John

I've seen this before. You have to manually create some files on the
ALSA source tree before compiling it. Check out this post:

I guess newer kernels/ALSA fixed this (not sure though).

Tom, and everybody else.
The RULE ISO image for RH9 *is* available at an alternative savannah location:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/savannah/files/rule/slinky/slinky-v0.3.96/
the md5sum matches what we had, so it doesn't seem cracked.
For the record, I successfully used it just last week to an install fest
here in Italy. Right after giving without problems a RULE slideshow:
with KOffice 1.2
from the standard Koffice/KDE rpms for rh9
off a laptop with 133 MHz Pentium and 32 MB of RAM
on which I had installed RH9+kdrive with the same ISO above
for a total of ~700 MB of disk space
Neat, uh?
Plese try it, subscribe to the RULE list and let us know!

Installing OO.org with yum
by Anduriek
Hi,
I tried to install openoffice.org via yum. It tells me that OO need
mozilla 1.4 to solve dependencies, but I already have installed Mozilla 1.6
(without yum).
I don't want have 2 versions of mozilla on my machine. Is there any way
to tell
yum that I have mozilla already installed, or installing OO with out
mozilla 1.4
via yum?

issue upgrading libdb
by Robert P. J. Day
as part of the process of upgrading subversion on my FC1 system, i
updated against the yum repository:
http://summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/subversion/1.0.1/fedora/bin/
which seems to have caused some problems related to the version of
libdb being used.
what i also got from that repository were a couple new RPMs related
to libdb: db42 and db42-devel. i didn't think much of it at the time,
but these RPMs seem to clash with the RPMs you find in rawhide.
rawhide contains the RPMs
db4-4.2.52-3.1
db4-devel-4.2.52-3.1
while, from the subversion repo, i got and installed
db42-4.2.52-0.1
db42-devel-4.2.52-0.1
currently, on my system, i now have the subversion repo RPMs, as well as
the originals, for a grand total of installed db4-related RPMs:
db4-4.1.25-14
db4-devel-4.1.25-14
db42-4.2.52-0.1
db42-devel-4.2.52-0.1
now, when i try to do a "yum update" (without including rawhide in my
yum.conf file), i get
Package python needs libdb-4.1.so, this is not available.
Package cyrus-sasl needs libdb-4.1.so, this is not available.
Package sendmail needs libdb-4.1.so, this is not available.
Package webalizer needs libdb-4.1.so, this is not available.
Package xemacs needs libdb-4.1.so, this is not available.
Package ruby-libs needs libdb-4.1.so, this is not available.
Package kdesdk needs libdb-4.1.so, this is not available.
Package libtabe needs libdb-4.1.so, this is not available.
Package inn needs libdb-4.1.so, this is not available.
Package gnucash needs libdb-4.1.so, this is not available.
Package php needs libdb-4.1.so, this is not available.
Package perl needs libdb-4.1.so, this is not available.
Package mod_perl needs libdb-4.1.so, this is not available.
Package openoffice.org-libs needs libdb_cxx-4.1.so, this is not available.
Package openoffice.org needs libdb_cxx-4.1.so, this is not available.
i'm really regretting having installed those libdb RPMs from the
subversion repo but that subversion repo updated a lot of other
packages as well, like apr-util, httpd, etc.
before getting into this any deeper, has anyone else updated from
that summersoft repo? comments?
