#$%*!! Is still doesn't work. I get the welcome screen for the first boot and no mouse or as far as I can tell keyboard
either.
Everything worked fine before I tried installing FC4. I made no changes to the BIOS except boot order.
Any ideas?

Orinoco Gold 8470-WD on CF4
by Glenn Meyer
Hello,
Can someone please help with how to set up this wireless card on FC4? I
would like to run Kismet. I've read and gathered that this is the most
desirable card (in many opinions - I'm sure not all), but it also looks
to be one of the most difficult to set up. All of the instructions I've
found are for an older card with the Hermes chips. I believe mine has
the Atheros (from the model number).
Any help sure would be appreciated. Thank you.

FC3 -> FC4 Fresh install, keeping /home
by David Niemi
Finally going to bite the bullet and update my main machine, one
question though.
How will I have to handle existing user directories and information on
the /home partition if I do a fresh install of FC4? What will happen
when during the first run I have to create a user and this user's
directories etc already exists? I am going to back up all the
information to DVD anyway as well as leaving copies on other partitions.
Also, will my raid0 drive (data drive) cause / be a problem?

What does this mean?

Serious Problem
by Colleen Beamer
Hi All,
I'm having to send this from Windows hell, but I can't do anything in
my Linux environment.
I can log in, but every time I issue a command, I get told that it's
not found. For instance, when I ran startx, it couldn't find the
command. When I ran ls, it couldn't find the command. I even tried
entering a path to the command, like /usr/bin/ls and /bin/ls, but to
no avail.
Yesterday, I did a couple of things on the computer and don't know if
that had anything to do with my problem.
First, I wanted to install my krecipes program which I retrieved via
svn. When I tried to do that, I got told that for the present kde
used unsermake instead of the gnu make utility. So, I installed
unsermake and then did the "export PATH" thing to be able to use
unsermake from where it was insalled. No perceivable problems after
doing this.
Then, I did a yum update which installed a number of new KDE packages
from the updates-released repository.
Today, I added a program which I installed via tarball and edited my
.bash profile to make the permanent addition to my path. Then, I
rebooted and now, no commands will work.
Any ideas what is going on here and what I have to do to fix it?
Regards,
Colleen

FC3 snapshot/updated ISOs?
by Gaspar Bakos
Hi,
I am trying to figure out the optimal way of installing FC3 (NOT FC4),
which is now ~7months old, and there have been plenty of upgrades.
Is there any more efficient way than:
1. installing FC3 with the _original_ ISO images
2. doing a massive update?
I am trying to eliminate step #2..
I wonder, for example, are there ISO images which contain all the
upgrades and bug fixes for the past 7 months?
Any pointer to such ISOs would be helpful.
Or, alternatively... how hard it is to create them for myself from the
CD sources?
One possible answer to the problem would be; why not install FC4?
I am hesitant, as i have a couple of other computers with FC3
/up-to-date/, and would like to maintain full consistency between them.
Also, i guess FC4 does not only contain all the updates & bug fixes
from FC3, but also implements many new things, some potentially
instable.
Cheers

Sound : Line-in seems broken in all kernels but 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4
by Ron Hawkins
Hi all,
I have a Gateway P4/1.8GHz with a Audigy / Firewire card. I have sound
for all but mic
and Line-in and I have recompiled every kernel since 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4
in an attempt
to get Line-in to work with no releif. (No TV sound) Has anyone else
run into this? With the first Kernel
I had to turn off the digital jack and then put analog mixer at full
volume and master volume
on full then TVtime controlled line-in and all worked. Now TVtime
comes on with Line-in
at Full volume but no sound no matter what I set.
TIA,
Ron

Need help with ndiswrapper
by Patrick McCarthy
Hi,
I'm new to Linux and need a little help installing ndiswrapper. I've
installed FC4 on my desktop and downloaded updates with Up2date. I have
been unable to get my linksys WMP54Gv.4 wireless card recognized by the
network wizard. I have downloaded ndiswrapper in order to install the
windows xp driver for the card, but am having trouble following all the
install instructions on the ndiswrapper
website-http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Installation
I used the
ln -s /usr/src/linux-<kernel-version> /lib/modules/VERSION/build command
to build a link to the source, inserting '2.6.11-1.1396_FC4' as the
version.
The next step went o.k.-'make distclean' in the ndiswrapper-1.2
directory, but the 'make' command produced a 'no link' error. Sure
enough, upon clicking the /lib/modules/2.6.11-1.1369_FC4/build and
source files it said there was no link.
How do I find out if I have the source. If not, how do I get it?
What is 'the source'. Why wouldn't it have been installed with FC4?
Thanks,
Patrick

nbd errors and /dev/nbd* files.
by Marcus Lively
Hi,
Hope someone can help me here, I have noticed the following in my log
files and have done some research but seem to be drawing blanks. the
messages are as follows:
kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev nbd104, sector 4294965120
kernel: nbd104: Request when not-ready
kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev nbd104, sector 0
kernel: nbd105: Request when not-ready
kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev nbd105, sector 4294965120
kernel: nbd105: Request when not-ready
...
also
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device nbd16, logical block 2
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device nbd16, logical block 3
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device nbd16, logical block 4
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device nbd16, logical block 5
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device nbd16, logical block 6
kernel: Buffer I/O error on device nbd16, logical block 7
...
There are a number of nbdnnn files in the /dev directory yet I have not
configured any nbd filesystems, I have checked lvm and there doesn't
seem to be any logical volumes configured. My question is why are these
messages appearing in the logs, and how come I seem to have so many nbd
device files, could I just remove them from /dev.
Thanks Marcus.

FC4 - What is smp kernel?
by Hoffmann
Hi All;
When I installed FC4, I noticed that I have two
kernels: one of them is the 'normal' one, the other is
'smp'. What is the difference, and which one should I
use? Should I uninstall one of them?
Thanks!
Hoffmann
