Alternative to a Pogoplug
by Robert Moskowitz
A friend has pointed me to the Pogoplug which right now can be purchased
quite cheaply:
e.g.:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/200710735289?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p39...
But you have to be careful because:
"That's what was advertised (the pro), and box (sealed) was labeled
Pogo-P21, which should have been the dual core model, but the device was
labeled Pogo-E02, which is this one:
http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/pogoplug-v2-pinkgray
The labeling mess seems to be as a result of them liquidating the
pre-series 4 models and stuffing them into whatever boxes they have."
There seems to be challenges with Fedora support for these devices?
Plus it is also clear that you might not get what you paid for. Sooo....
I am looking for a cheap, low power platform with ethernet and 4 USB
ports (I would even run my system drive off of USB) with 1Gb memory so I
can load a current FC on it. Duo core would be valuable. I have been
burned with this Lenovo not having duo core...
Any recommendations?

Badblocks on the hd.
by Frank Murphy
/sbin/badblocks
has informed that there are 5 bad blocks on a hd.
Not in a position to replace at the moment,
Only dust in the wallet.
Had a look at e2fsck
man e2fsck
-l filename
-L filename
Is the "filename" automatically created.
or something I need do.
The fs is ext4.
To my mad eyes it looks like:
e2fsck -ccvp (as single user?)

Portreserve on F16
by Heinz Diehl
Hi,
since portreserve is constantly failing on my F16 systems, and based upon older
and newer discussions on this topic, I wonder if it's still needed?!

Buddhika:
Sorry that this email is coming to you so late, I thought I had
emailed you a month ago about this!
It looks like you are the person doing leadership around GSoC this
year. Are you interested in being Fedora's administrator for 2012?
I estimate that the workload is from 0 to 2 hours per week - the
administrator mainly has work to do at the beginning, at the mid-term,
and at the end. However, I think we might need 10+ hours of work by
the deadline of 9 March - there is work to do that normally would have
been done already.
If you are interested, I am offering to help you. I can help with a
few hours before 9 March, and if we get accepted, I can give you
training and guidance (and backup) throughout the summer.
Other people will come forward to help as mentors and so forth, once
there is someone who takes clear leadership.
Thanks - Karsten

activate CONFIG_IWLEGACY_DEBUG
by Pedro Francisco
I need to compile the kernel of Fedora 16 with CONFIG_IWLEGACY_DEBUG=y
(apparently kernel-PAEdebug doesn't activate it).
However as the SRPM for the kernel has various configs and
compat-wireless applied, I'm in doubt where/what should I patch to
enable CONFIG_IWLEGACY_DEBUG.
Do I have to make a patch and change the SPEC to apply the patch to
the config.mk of the compat-wireless?
Thanks in Advance,
