Subject: Need help!
I need help, I have the ISO images for Fedora core 1, my
problem is that I cannot get it to boot when I burn it to CD, I use Nero
5.5, and made a bootdisk, added it to the burn, but it doesn't work,
I've tried numerous times and still no luck, in my region Linux is not a
big OS, It is used for server purposes, but not at all for workstations,
I am running Red Hat 9, have all the lasest RPM's, I even upgraded the
kernel with no problem, I have checked the MD5, for combatibilty, they
match, I've downloaded the images within XP, I could not get Bit Torrent
to work in RH9.
I can work with Linux once it is installed, when I go to the
folder and try to explore it in XP it will not let me open it. When I
put the Red Hat cd's in XP, I can go to my computer and explore the
cd's, so it is a little confusing. I have know problem with fdisk, and
formatting a Computer, so that is not the issue, I am dual booting Win
2000, with Red Hat 9, and have know problems, so as you can see I can
work with the platform, my issue is putting it to disc and having it
boot!!
Please help,

Ah, that sounds wonderful. If I do so, at the boot prompt is it 'linux no-x'
or do I simply not select any of the X options and desktop options? This
must go through linux text install since the video cards aren't handling the
regular gui install at all, so RULE sounded quite attractive for what I
needed.
Oh, and then the joys of editing the samba config...<wince>...I have a lot
to learn about admin. ;)

Creating own apt repo from cream de la cream?
by Erik Karu
Hi,
I presume following is impossible with apt:
list A, B, and C in sources.list, but use A as
"primary" repo, meaning that if a package is found
from A, don't install/update it from B or C even it's
newer there. If a package is not present in A, then
and only then use B or C.
Because I don't how to do that, I'm planning to set up
a local apt repo, with a script leeching the packages
I'm intrested in from B and C. In sources.list I'd
have A and local dir with file:/ syntax. I made the
simplest script which uses wget.. Do you think this is
wasting bw or is this the most optimal approach?
#!/bin/sh
# Repository to use - must be ftp
REPO="ftp://apt.sw.be/pub/dag/fedora/1/en/i386/RPMS.dag"
# Path to local repository
ROOT="/work/packages/fedora/1/i386"
# RPMs to fetch
RPMS="acroread dnsmasq kernel-module-ntfs lyx pine"
# Wget options
WGET="-c"
### End of configurations
cd "$ROOT/RPMS.add-ons"
for rpm in $RPMS
do
wget $WGET $REPO/$rpm\*
done
genbasedir --flat "$ROOT"
Any comments welcome!
BR, Erik.

you may be behind a proxy, if so, then type this before your yum command
export http_proxy="http://proxy.addr.com:80"
or whatever the port is, instead of 80... also, remember that redhat's
servers are pretty slammed, regularly... so it may just be really
slow...
substitute this server for the default redhat yum server:

udp v4 hw csum failure.
by John Allgood
Hello
I am running Fedora Core I "2.4.22-1.2174.nptlsmp". I am getting a ton
of this message in DMESG "udp v4 hw csum failure". I believe it is
either a problem with udp or the intel 82557 network card. Has anyone
had a similiar problem. The machine has been up about 36 days. The
problem just started today. I first noticed problems when users could
not send print jobs to the printer. Any ideas
Thanks

A laptop, a mouse and a touchpad
by Jim Radford
Hi All,
I just installed FC2-T2 to see what it was like, turns out I couldn't get it
working (lots of SElinux problems and it didn't recognise my soundcard). It
did something I've never been able to figure out - My touchpad and my USB
mouse both worked at the same time.....any ideas how I can get this working
under FC1 - now I've reinstalled it.
The laptop is a Fujitsu Lifebook S6120 if that makes a difference.
Oh, and FC2 looks great - shame I had so many problems with it. Can't wait for
a stable release.

Re: Make a distro from installation
by duncan brown
check out the kickstart menu option (menu -> system tools), also there's alot of kickstart documentation on redhat.com's doc webpage... that's the direction you want to head in.
also, you'd probably want to change the yum.conf that comes with fedora core to point to your own yum mirror...
use the ftpcopy program to mirror someone else's yum repository and host it on your own web site.
also, to make things easier for you and your customers, check out www.fedora.us, they're the inspiration for the redhat fedora core, have apt and synaptic as a part of your installation, that way your customers can more easily update their systems.
