How do I make my task bar hide when it's not being accessed?
by Steven W. Orr
Under F9, kde, I don't see how to get to the controls to cause my taskbar
to hide? Anyone know where the controls are?
TIA

kernel: martian messages
by Aldo Foot
I have an old server running on redhat 8.0 (I know... don't ask why).
Recently I've seen lines like the following in /var/log/kernel :
Oct 28 08:53:28 myhost kernel: martian source 255.255.255.255 from
127.0.0.1, on dev eth0
Oct 28 08:53:28 myhost kernel: ll header:
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:<snipped.unknown.mac.address>
It appears they are related to a network device and not to the linux
machine per se.
I did a web search, but I'm not satisfied with the vague responses for
the question.
what do they mean?

installating from iso
by Jerry Ro
Hello,
I thought I would try installing Fedora 9. Unfortunately, my laptop has no
optical drive.
I made a bootable USB stick, and like I said, I manage to boot from it, but
the fonts are corrupt.
Still, I can move to text mode (say ctrl-alt-f1) and use the Live version
quite well.
Since I have Vista, I thought I might have an easier way of installing
Fedora without having a DVD. I thought of downloading the ISO and then
looking for a boot loader or something of that sort that can "boot" from an
.iso file (on a windows partition.)
I know one can mount an .iso on linux to a directory, so I see no reason why
a boot loader could not do something like that as well.
However, I did not manage to find something to allow me to do that. Looking
on google leads to all kind of "hints" that it is possible to somehow
install fedora using the DVD .iso (on the Vista partition) or from the Live
CD on a USB stick (without being connected to the internet), but nothing
explicit. Anyone has experience with it? Also, I hope Fedora 9 installation
will make it easy to create a new partition for it (or maybe I should first
deal with using gparted to prepare a partition properly)...
Thanks.

getting a minimum of KDE
by Beartooth
I run Gnome; KDE has always grated on me for some reason -- but I
do use Konqueror and K3B often. Do I have to install KDE in toto under F9
to get those two? Or is there a way to tell yum to get them and only what
they have to have?

[Off-topic]cvs hangs due a dangling nfs.
by Marcelo Garcia
Hi
I use automount to share a partition via NFS so every machine can mount
this share. For example, the machine "abc" has a partitio /abc and other
machines mounts /users/abc.
One the machines was removed (retired), but now a few clients can't use
the CVS server. After the command "cvs history...", it simply sits and wait.
I know that the problem is in accessing the retired machine because of
the command "strace cvs history".
Is there a way to find where is this reference to the old machine?
Something like /etc/mtab?
Part II (Really Off-topic)
Is there a way to find which machines are client of a NFS share? So that
before the shutdown I could umount in the clients?
Thanks

Yeah, thanks! :)
To answer your question: Well, we haven't gotten approval from release
engineering (yet), so this spin will neither be officially released
together with F10 nor will it be built by rel-eng and that's why it
won't be mirrored through the official mirrors. That's just the way it
is, since we're a little bit late with this spin and aren't able to make
it for F10.
