In http://www.python.org/2.4/rpms.html there are RPM packages for FC3,
and a Yum repository provided by python.org (hey! so far FC3 is the only
distro with RPMs provided by python.org itself!)
I'd like to know if anybody have installed these packages, and if they
fit pleasently into FC3. As Fedora uses Python *heavely*, I don't want
to break anything.
So, it's safe to install this, or I'd be better waiting for an official
update? (assuming there are plans for such an update...)
TIA,

Do you really *need* the Python 2.4?

Reading the whole page it states:
"A) The RPMs that start with "python2.4" are built to not interfere with
the system Python. They install as "/usr/bin/python2.4" and will not
conflict with the system Python unless you are running on a system that
ships the a version of Python which has the same major/minor number."

Sort of. I'm involved in a couple of projects that, given their early
stage development status, may choose 2.4 as the base version to use, and
rely on some 2.4 features.
Some of these features may be easily ported/installed in 2.3.x (ex the
new Decimal module), some others may not.

I'd try to install 2.4 as a replacement of 2.3.x. If that's impossible,
or too risky, or involves lots of tweaking, I'll take the easy path
(parallel install). If not, I'd like to drop 2.3.x in favour of 2.4.
So the question is how nice does Python 2.4 play as "the system
Python"... and I realize that I should have been more clear in my
original post. My fault.

Early indications are not very. You would have to
recompile all the
rpms that use python. Your best bet would be to install 2.4 alongside
2.3 and specify using 2.4 in your project's makefiles.

New subject: permissions problem
I'm running FC5 and gnome on a machine dual booting with Windows and
would like to read from/write to a Windows vfat partition. I've added
this line to /etc/fstab:
/dev/sdb1 /mnt/win vfat rw,noatime,uid=500,gid=500,user 0 0
Then, also as root:
mkdir /mnt/win
chmod 777 /mnt/win
In linux, I can now read from the /mnt/win directory but can't write to
it without root privileges. How should I set the privileges on this
directory so that I can write to it as a user? Are the mount parameters
in fstab correct?
Thanks for the help! --Jerry

What's your user ID and group ID? You can run the id command to check.
Make sure they fit what's in the /etc/fstab above. You might also like
to add dmask=2,fmask=113 to the options -- they give more usable default
permissions.
Don't try using Unix commands to change permissions on a vfat
filesystem -- It Don't Work Like That.
Hope this helps,
James.

they were both 500

Do you just want UID 500 to have access, or all users? I would use
something this to let all users have access.

I believe that 755 is good enough. The mount point itself does not
need to be writable.

Are you mounting as a normal user, or as root?
I'd say you were not uid 500 or gid 500. What are your uid and gid?

Do the setting of the mount point before the file system is mounted
affect anything? At lease for vfat partitions, the permissions are
changed by the mount command.
