How does one unsubscribe and subscribe to this list?
I have been to https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list many
many time over the last 3 weeks to change my email address.
I tried to change it. I tried to unsubscribe and re-subscribe. Everytime
mailman promises to send a confirmation message, but I never receive it.
I have no spam filter, so that is not it.
How else can I get this service to unsubcribe and re-subscribe me?

BOIS Blues again
by Karl Larsen
Here is what worked for years: The Grub was on disk hd0 and Linux
was on hd0,0 thru 6 and hd1,0 thru 7. The BIOS could find all the Linux
/boot/grub/ without fail.
Now I have just one hard drive all set in the BIOS setup and I went
up in the F7 Rescue cd and told grub the following:
Grub> root (hd0,5)
Grub> setup (hd0)
Grub> quit
This worked according to the written info from grub. But It would not
work. I would get a bios error.
So I installed FC6 basic in the (hd0,0) partition and it worked
fine. Then I added the directions to this F7 and of course Grub found
it. Here I am again on the old computer.

New Computer
by Karl Larsen
Looking at Google I found The Biostar Geforce 6100-m9 NVIDIA Socket
939 micro ATX USB 2.0/ Serial ATA/ RAID for $65.00 and a barebones kit
with mb and cpu and case 350 watt ps for $130.00.
It has a floppy drive and serial port on the mb. With all the other
stuff. This would be my cheapest new computer unless you know why it is bad.

the clock stopped in F7 ?!
by Lonni J Friedman
I've got a Fedora 7 (x86) system that started exhibiting truly bizarre
behavior about a week ago. Basically, the clock stopped working. If
I run 'date' it shows the date/time from a few days earlier, and it
*never* changes. If I touch a file, it has the date/timestamp from
the time/date in date output. The odd thing is that this behavior
only happens when the system sits relatively idle for a long chunk of
time (at least 24 hours). If i'm actively using it every day, then
its fine. If I reboot, then the problem goes away (and the system has
the correct time after rebooting).
The first time that this happened was last weekend (Aug 18), and I had
to reboot it last Monday (Aug 20) to fix the problem. Its now
happened again. At this moment in time, date claims that its Sat Aug
25, even though its actually Sun Aug 26 right now.
To make matters worse, the system behaves oddly when this problem
occurs. I suspect its because anything that relies on getting an
accurate (or changing) clock is failing. If I attempt to reboot
cleanly, it just never happens. The system acts frozen in time.
I've checked dmesg & messages, and there's nothing there. messages
just stops logging anything around the time that the clock appears to
have frozen.
Anyone ever seen this bizarre behavior, or have any ideas what might
be going on?

LABEL's
by Karl Larsen
I was talked into using LABEL's because they make it easy to add new
partitions and such. I have a bunch now and they work fine.
Alas, now that I am making 2 hard drives with the exact same F7 on
them LABEL is causing me all kinds of problems. Even the F7 Rescue
complained :-)
So the only fix is for me to go back to exact partition names so I
can continue to get my understanding of dd complete. I think dd will
work fine IFF the partition your sending data to is larger than the one
it is coming from, and you do NOT put a file system in the destination
partition.
So all my LABEL's are going to disappear.

OT : Approximate / fast math libraries ?
by Chris Jones
Hi,
I have a number crunch application that is starting to hit bottlenecks
in standard maths functions, like log, exp sqrt etc. Thing is, in many
places I don't need much precision, so was wondering if there was
anything I could do, like use a different library or enable some gcc
options (currently using -O2) to speed things up.
Does anyone have any recommendations for fast maths ? search around on
the web I've found a lot of references to fast / approximate math
libraries, but nothing obvious.

events/0 thread in kernels 2.6.22*fc6 causing scheduling latency
by Mike Fleetwood
Hi,
Since I upgraded my FC6 box from kernel-2.6.20-1.2962.fc6 to
kernel-2.6.22.1-32.fc6, and now 2.6.22.2-42.fc6, I am getting pauses
from the whole OS. They last ~1 second and occur every few minutes.
Every application becomes unresponsive for the duration. The 1 second
scheduler latency this causes is long enough for my music player to be
effected and the audio track to be interrupted. This makes the fault
very easy to hear. At the same time kernel thread events/0 seems to
use all the CPU time. Here is the first few lines of top's output
when a pause happens:
top - 21:39:41 up 1:17, 2 users, load average: 1.05, 1.20, 1.24

28.5% CPU time used by events/0 of a single 3 second top refresh is
0.85 seconds of CPU time. Rebooting back to kernel 2.6.20 completely
fixes it.
Has any one else seen this issue?
Does anyone know what kernel thread events/0 does?
Could this be related to CFS newly introduced into Fedora's kernel 2.6.22?
Can anybody suggest how to fix this issue?
Thanks,
Mike

Canon Elura 100 Camcorder and FC5
by Robert L Cochran
I gave my wife a Canon Elura 100 camcorder for Christmas. I just watched
her download her very first movie to Windows XP. Can I do the same in
Fedora Core 5? If I just plugged in the camcorder to my onboard 1394
port, will an application come up recognizing the camcorder and offering
to download the movie from the DV tape?
Thanks
