by Adel ESSAFI 09 May '09

09 May '09

Hi List I use firefox on F10 and i want to re install my system. I just ask if it is possible to backup the preferences of firefox and then import them later. I have tried to keep the .mozille directory but, I did not work .

FC10 and NDISwrapper
by Gary Stainburn 09 May '09

09 May '09

Hi folks. I'm trying to get WIFI working on my new DELL and I've been told to try ndiswrappers. I tried yum search ndiswrapper and varients, but nothing was found. I then found RPMs using rpmsearch and downloaded them. Now when I try 'yum localinstall' it adds the kernel as a dependancy, downloads it, and then errors saying it is already installed. If I try 'rpm -i' it fails on dependancy for /boot/vmlinuz I've included the session log. Has anyone any suggestions?

FC11 hibernate
by Bill Davidsen 08 May '09

08 May '09

This fast boot stuff is totally out of hand! I just checked, and cold boot is now faster than coming out of hibernate. It somewhat reduces the value of hibernate for some cases where it was being used for speed rather than because a lot of stuff is running.

Hi, I have bought a so-called web'n'walk stick, which identifies itself as a "Globetrotter HSDPA Model". I managed to get it identified as a serial device (initially, it is detected as a USB drive), but I fail to get it working. Any ideas?
