So far, I've been very pleased with FC2T2. I downloaded the DVD ISO via the torrent, though it was slow, I got the ISO, burnt a DVD, booted up and upgraded FC1 with NO PROBLEM at all.
I was even able to download the prism drivers for my Netgear WG511 802.11G PCMCIA card and in about 5 minutes, I was reconnected to my wireless LAN.
Everything worked like a charm with two exceptions: 1) No USB devices were being recognized. I had to manually edit and load the USB driver in /etc/modprobe.conf.dist. After that, no problems. 2) I'm running FC2T2 on a Thinkpad T40 and I can't get sound to work for the life of me. I try to manually load the i810 sound driver ( I think it's snd-intel8x0 under FC2T2 ) but it can't be found. Can anyone confirm whether I'll have to rebuild the kernel to get the driver?
Overall, very impressed, apps like OpenOffice and Quicken ( under CX Office ) seem to be less sluggish.
If anyone has any ideas about sound, please let me know.
Thanks PJ

My installation is an upgrade from FC1 and following rawhide - (currently with kernel-2.64-1.305). I believe sound & USB were configured correctly by kudzu for me on the T40
$ cat /etc/modprobe.conf alias eth0 e1000 alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0 install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
After boot - I crank up the volume with gnome-volume-control (volume,pcm) - and I can play mp3 files.
I had tried an external usb device earlier last week with kernel-2.6.4-1.300. I was able to connect to a usb drive enclosure with a dvd-rw drive in it.
However there are mails in this list about usb problems with kernel-2.64-1.305

I just tried accessing my cdrw/dvd-rom drive and it's kaput. For who knows what reason, /dev/hdc ( DVD/CDRW ) was not being recognized as a valid block device anymore. I tried mounting the drive under /dev/scd0, recreating /dev/hdc using mknod but still no luck. Also made sure ide/scsi emulation was enabled.
I'm going to get a little daring and do a completely new install of FC2T2 now so we'll see how that goes.
Thanks PJ

I think you're not supposed to use ide/scsi emulation anymore.

Indeed nobody should be using ide-scsi emulation anymore, except for some old tape drives...

Try hdc=ide-cd on your kenel commandline before you do a reinstall :-)

For me removing ide-scsi from /etc/grub.conf worked.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. Unfortunately, I wasn't at a computer and wound up reinstalling FC2T2 from scratch. The good news is that it easily detected all the hardware on the T40 and I was able to get the prism drivers for the netgear card up and running in about 5 minutes.
The only problem I have now is that I can't login to FC2T2 as a normal user. It has something to do with SELinux denying gdm access to $HOME. I haven't gotten into any docs yet ( anyone know where I can find them? )
Thanks Pankaj

I did a relabel and reboot. Looks like that solved the user login problem. Still wouldn't mind some SELinux docs though.
Thanks folks
