I do not understand the question. I am assuming the above is saying
that /dev/sda2 (which is "/") is the boot partition and if this is
a correct assumption, I left it as is. I did try to redo the entire
setup and chosed the 'Advanced Options', and instead of the default
MBR @ /dev/sda - I choosed the radiobutton of /dev/sda1 - and I assume
this is the same thing? It is confusing me as to what is the difference
between /dev/sda and /dev/sda1?

Looking to upgrade to Fedora 8
by Ranbir
Hi Everyone,
I'm currently running Fedora 6. I'm planning to upgrade my Dell D800
laptop to Fedora 8 during my Christmas holidays (fresh install). I'm
going to keep /home and /usr/local (i.e. not format them) during
install).
I'm fairly sure everything should just work afterwards, but I'm
wondering how VMware Server will hold up. Will I be able to install it
ok on Fedora 8 and run my virtual machines (saved in my home folder)?
Has anyone had any problems with Evolution after moving to Fedora 8?
Since I'm not formatting /home, Evolution should see my previous config
and run accordingly.
Any other hangups? I haven't seen anything major reported on this list,
which bodes well for me!
Regards,
Ranbir

found one solution for change default fc6
by Tom Poe
Found one suggestion that said, download one file of each type, then, in
nautilus, right-click and select properties. Under tab "open with",
select default for that file type, and voila!, you should be good to go.
Happy Holidays,

partition size questions
by Michael.Coll-Barth＠VerizonWireless.com
Folks,
I have come across a problem relating to partitions. I have a multi
boot box with Ubuntu 7.10, Fedora 8 and
Win 2K. There is also a very large unallocated section of disk space.
The two linux partitions are sitting together on an extended partition
and I would like to make each smaller. None of the partition managers
would allow me to shrink the partitions.
In playing with the partitions, I decided to create a new partition in
the unallocated area and copy, one linux version at a time, delete the
current linux partition, create a new smaller one and copy that linux
version back. Once finished, do the other linux version. After
creating the new partition, but before the copy, I tried to boot into
Windows and got the BSOD. I can rebuild, but what happened? Once I
rebuild Windows, I know that grub will no longer work. How should I go
about backing up what I have and then restoring it after the Windows
build? The boot loader is being managed through Ubuntu.
Last thing for now, before someone shoots me for all these newbie
questions, would you mind clearing something up for me. I thought HDx
was for IDE drives while the SDx was for the SCSI drives. I have this
machine I am building where the drive is SATA but it is recognized as my
SD0 drive.
thanks,
Michael

Network Audio System with Firefox/Flash
by J M
I have managed to set up NAS to work between two computers so that they
play audio from one to the other and vice versa using audemo.
However when I then attempt to start Firefox and do the same audio plays
on the system firefox is running on rather than the remote system.
Specificically what I am trying to do is ssh into an i386 linux 'server'
that's always on from my PS3 (running F8) and start Firefox on the i386
system in order to access pandora.com and stream the audio to the PS3.
Ideally I'd like to use an SSH key and set up everything as a script so
that it's nice and transparent for everyone else; they click on an icon
run Firefox and access the website without needing to know anything
special is going on.
I did some reading and it looks like there was at one point a program
(library) called libaudiooss that redirected OSS audio to NAS for
applications that were not 'NAS aware'. libaudiooss looks to be dead,
besides which, if I am not mistaken flash uses ALSA, so my question at
this point is how can I make this work?
Right now my solution to accessing and redirecting audio is to access a
Windows XP virtual machine running on the same linux server using
rdesktop. It works well enough, however having a virtual machine for the
sole purpose of accessing one website is a little excessive. (And for
those not familiar with any of the involved aspects, the PS3 is a PPC
system, there is currently no Flash 9 plugin for PPC, and pandora.com
uses Flash 9, so gnash, swfdec, etc. will not work... basically leaving
me up a certain creek with no paddle)

Customizing XFCE theme colors
by wwp
Hello all,
disappointed by GNOME Desktop performances, I'm switching to XFCE,
currently on Fedora 8. Within GNOME, I've had time to set up and saved
a complete custom theme based on a preset, including custom colors. I
wonder if now it's possible to re-use that saved GNOME theme within
XFCE?
I've noticed that XFCE's User Interface Preferences does list the same
themes that were visible within GNOME, does that mean that XFCE can
re-use the same themes as GNOME, and potentially my saved one?
Regards,
