xfce and x86_64
by Tanguy Eric
I would try xfce but when i try to install it on my x86_64 yum want to
install a lot of i686 libs for dependancies.
What is the problem ?
I would prefer a pure x86_64 system ...

Replacing gnome-shell on Fedora 15
by Geoffrey Leach
Having tried (briefly!) gnome-shell on Fedora 14, its clear that I
won't be using it any time soon. Seems to me that the obvious solution
is to replace it with (my preferred) metacity as the default window
manager. Has anyone tried this?
Thanks.

Very glad I could help.
You should probably read and reread the 'info grub' page.
There is also available a pdf version of the grub manual, google for it.

I don't know what your rootnoverify is doing
You first message showed an F14 stanza (no chainloading).
Try calling that; just copy it to your F13 grub.conf
and then choose it instead of the F13 default

1) what do you mean re
"problem with using my boot partition with my F14" ??
You already said your F14 is _not_ using a boot partition.
2) I have never found it necessary to edit /etc/mtab
3)I have never used rootnoverify on a Linux boot;
I think rootnoverify is primarily used for Windows stanzas
on dual boot configurations.
4) Any result yet from copying f14 stanza to f13 grub.conf
and then choosing the f14 from the f13 on-screen menu?

I tried to connect, panel crashed came back. Wired connection fails miserably, message says cable unplugged and it is there :) Windows connects, porteus connects just here and yes it was working, and now it is not :(. The other machines are working, it is just this one
