guys.. I have a set of disks here I downloaded and wrote dated 9th May.. will these be the offical FC2 release? or are we at another version now and I'll have to re-download and burn again? also.. if I *do* have to re-download.. would prefer a dvd install (have more blank dvd's than cd's.. lol) so where's the best place to get that? I can't seem to find dvd iso's on the mirrors.. Thanks and sorry if this has been covered.. it's been a *seriously* long day so far.. lol Cheers -- Craig Tinson 8010 Media Ltd \|||/ (o o) ----------------------------------ooO-(_)-Ooo----------------------------- _ _ /: Thbbft. | Craig Tinson | "The most overlooked \'o.O; _/ | 8010 Media Ltd | advantage of owning a =(___)= | Email: craig(a)8010.co.uk | computer is that if |U| | Tel: 0113 249 7027 | they foul up there's | Mob: 0788 061 3892 | no law against whacking | MSN: cgtinson(a)hotmail.com | them around a bit." --------------------------------------------------------------------------

1920x1200 LCD unwanted borders
by Ernest L. Williams Jr. 26 May '04

26 May '04

Hi, I have a DELL Precision M60. When I choose a resolution 1920x1200, I end up with unwanted 0.5in. borders on the side. How can this be resolved? On the other hand if I choose 1920x1440 then the display is indeed full but my task bar is now off the bottom of the display. Does any one have a magic "XF86Config" file? Thanks -- Ernest L.

Re: new kernel for testing
by Law Horne 26 May '04

Well my networking fails with the new kernel. This is what I get in /var/log/boot.log : May 25 20:53:40 Basanizo ifup: PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

But if I understand what this is correctly I do not even need this running unless I have a raid setup(which I don't) is that correct? Well in anycase if there is an easy way to fix this I ddo not know it. Thanks Law

Re: Red Hat Introduces Desktop Linux Competitor
by Joel Juliano 26 May '04

agree with you, I dislike KDE because it's too contemporary for desktop use, there's a lot of different features in KDE that you don't really need. The whole KDE desktop is very cloggy. I like GNOME because it's organized and clean. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo! Messenger

2.6.6-1.383 pxeboot files: call for help
by Guan Yang 25 May '04

25 May '04

Hi, I was installing FC2 on my VIA Epia M10000 board (VIA C3 CPU) through PXE (because isolinux complains about a buggy bios), and was experiencing the kernel reboot-on-load problem. After replacing vmlinuz with vmlinuz from 2.6.6-1.383.i586, it boots fine and starts up the installer, but now the installer can't find my network card drivers (for installation over FTP). I tried extracting initrd, extracting modules.cgz and copying in the relevant .ko files from the 2.6.6-1.383.i586 RPM, but it doesn't seem to work - loader complains about cpio header. (Sorry I don't have an exact error message, but it scrolls by pretty quickly before the Installer starts.) I was wondering whether anyone could easily build vmlinuz and initrd.img for pxeboot for 2.6.6-1.383, or already have a copy. If so, I would greatly appreciate a copy! (I don't have an existing fc2 environment where I can run the anaconda-runtime scripts.) Thanks, Guan

Evolution has gone insane!
by Paul F. Johnson 25 May '04

25 May '04

Hi, Can anyone help me on this? I've been running the beta versions of Evolution on a number of machines for quite a while now and on the whole, they seem far more stable (and a lot nicer to use) than the 1.4 branch. I've hit a problem with one of the machines at home though. Evolution downloads email from 3 accounts (work, home and from my ISP), these are then split between a number of folders. There are also a number of profiles on it (home, work, C Vu, private and another I can't remember) where the email is also filtered (for instance, material for C Vu is downloaded from my home account (ukpost.com) and is filtered to the C Vu folder, material for wxWidgets and mono are filtered through to their respective folders as well - you get the idea). None of that is a problem - it works well. The problem is that there is now about 60 (and growing) number of autogenerated signatures and I can't seem to see where they are stored. One thing I have noticed is that some of the old (and now gone) signatures are still on the signature lists. These were defined as .txt files for use with the 1.4 releases. Would not having these be causing the problem and if that is the case, how do I remove the signatures from the list?
