Or if is formatted and you always want to have it accessible, add the
following to your /etc/fstab file please edit accoring to your usr
name and group id and the location of the partition.
create a folder in your home directory named windrive
then add the following to your /etc/fstab as root

wierd browsers problem under fedora core 3
by Ahmed Abdel-Aliem
hi
i am new to Linux, i installed Fedora Core 3 from a month and i really
liked it, everything works fine with me, but i have a wierd problems
and i really couldn't find a solution for them :
using mozilla and firefox i can't connect to somesited like gmail.com
for example, and if i open it in konqueror it opens with no problems,
and if i open those sites in mozilla and firefox while opening them in
konqueror they open with no problems, and if i close konqueror they
stop working.
also if i use gaim to open my yahoo messenger account it doesn't open,
and when i installed yahoo messenger for linux it works fine and if i
open my yahoo messenger account from gain while opening it in yahoo
messenger it open instantly with no problems.
anyone has any idea what is the reason with this problem ?
thanks in advance

top posting, HTML posting and "the closer"
by Robert P. J. Day
every time these issues come up on this list, the common defense
among the lazy, inconsiderate, "hey, this is how we do it where *i*
come from" whiners is that, as long as there is no fedora-approved, at
the fedora site itself, official netiquette document, they will feel
free to post however they want.
which raises the immediately obvious question: once that document is
complete and up there, and it *clearly* and *unambiguously* states
that thou shalt not top post, and thou shalt not post in HTML, and
thou shalt trim thine replies, will that shut you up? seriously.
for those of you who work in retail, that question is a variation of
what's known as the "closer". if someone just can't make up their
mind about whether they're going to buy, and they just keep hemming
and hawing, your final strategy is to ask, "what *exactly* will it
take for you to buy?" this puts the burden back on the potential
customer and, if they can't come up with an answer, every good
salesman knows to just cut their losses and walk away.
so, to those folks who make all of our lives on this mailing list
miserable on a regular basis with their cluelessness and lack of
courtesy, here's the "closer": once that netiquette document is
posted *at* fedora.redhat.com, and it *explicitly* forbids top
posting, and HTML, will you finally stop being such jerks?
if the answer's "yes", then that's extra incentive for the doc
writers to *finish* the danged thing and get it up there tout de
suite, to make this finally go away.
if, however, the answer is "no", well, then, we have a problem since
that would mean you've been lying to us all this time, telling us that
you've been doing this just because the rules weren't written down.
but even after they *are*, well, you're going to ignore them, anyway.
i *really* hope it doesn't come to that.
and a final aside to the netiquette doc writers: word those rules
*very* carefully. do not leave them open to interpretation since, as
we've seen, these folks love loopholes and playing semantic word
games. do not, for instance, say that posting in HTML is
"discouraged"; say it's "unacceptable", and point at a longer doc that
explains why. don't use phrases like "it's preferable that ...".
don't leave those kinds of openings. it's just asking for trouble.

updates & time
by Raghavendra Moktali
hello,
i have just installed fc3 on an thinkpad r51 and a desktop machine.
the version is 2.6.9-1.667, from dvd
During the installations, i have selected everything to be installed.
Please let me your experience of the following. this is my first install
and upgrade.
a. how long this might take on the thinkpad with the folloing spec.
centrino 1.5Ghz,768mb pc2700 ram, via a network with download speed
of about 45kbps using up2date or yum. i have to plan for the
required time at a cafe or some other place as i am on dialup.
b. is it possible to just download the updates to a folder and use them
to update all machines and if so how? this would make more sense in case
of multiple machines.
thank you for your time

Kde 3.4 Problem
by Zack
Hi,
I'm relatively (g)new to Linux.
Few days ago I've made an upgrade to KDE 3.4 of my Fedora box, by
installing rpm packages with --nodeps. What a horrible thing.
Then I've update the packages with apt/synaptic to 3.4.0-1.2.3
Successively I've ran KDE and I've got this error message:
Impossible to find mimes:
application/octet-stream
And then:
No mimes installed.
By installing in a wrong order KDE packages, I think KDE was unable to
register mimes types. How can I register those mimes types? Is it yet
possible? There's nothing I can do?
Alternatively, how can I unistall all the kde packages (with dependency
packages such qt) in a clean way?
Thank You
Zack

modem keeps disappearing
by Claude Jones
I'm having a disappearing modem problem. I put in the computer, it gets
recognized by kudzu, and it comes up working. I use it to dial in to an
old mainframe. Kermit sees it, and I have ProComm for DOS running under
dosemu. All seems well. I shut down the computer, and when it comes back
up, it has disappeared. So far, I've only been able to recover it by
removing it and rebooting, and then reinstalling it and rebooting. It
seemed to be a problem with a lockfile earlier on, but, that's no longer
the case. Can anyone offer an idea? I've searched the list and read the
configuration manuals from Redhat, but there is precious little said
about modems for old-style dialup.
