Grub2 menu question
by Tony Molloy
Hi,
I've got a remote test box which is set to dual boot Fedora 17 and
CentOS 6 using grub2 as the bootloader.
It's currently set to boot into Fedora "default=0" in grub.cfg
I want to change it to temporarly boot into CentOS. I've got the
following menu entries in grub.cfg
0.
menuentry 'Fedora (3.4.3-1.fc17.i686.PAE)'
1.
submenu 'Advanced options for Fedora Linux'
2.
menuentry 'CentOS release 6.2 (Final)'
3.
submenu 'Advanced options for CentOS release 6.2 (Final)'
4.
menuentry 'CentOS (2.6.32-220.13.1.el6.i686)
5.
menuentry 'CentOS (2.6.32-220.7.1.el6.i686)
What should I set default to to boot into CentOS. Should it be 1 if
the submenu entries don't count or 2 if they do count.
Thanks,
Tony

Evolution loses its data.
by Quicksort
Plaform: Fedora 17 x64
Evolution loses its data and launches the Setup Assistant.
Upon reboot everything is OK.
I don't like Windows because of its poor performances but
I am getting tired of Linux utilities bugs. Too much is
too much. I wish Fedora secondary programs were developed
with the same care Red Hat programmers designed their rock
solid kernels.

Well-hidden yum feature in fc17
by Bill Davidsen
I noted that my upgrade of fc17 was running very slowly this morning. I was
getting only about 65-68kB download, and things were pretty slow. Since this is
a regular thing, I checked a few things, and found out that the upgrade was
going over IPv6! It was slow because my connection with a 2nd ISP for IPv6 was
for testing, and is only 768kb right now.
It looks as if yum chooses IPv6 sources when available, over IPv4. Who knew?
Yes, I confirmed with wireshark, really was using v6 for everything but
rpmfusion updates.

[OT] Custom 'wrote' lines
by Mark Haney
Okay, I gotta ask. Where on earth do you get the customized lines like
this:

I've seen various and sundry others like this one, and I can't really
google it since I don't have a clue what to call that.

Upgrade vs Install: request for recommendations (trick questions, sort of)
by Max Pyziur
Greetings,
I'm going through the recent release cycles of both Fedora and CentOS in
upgrading machines.
I've had to do a fresh install on a machine where the available /boot
partition size of 200MB was not adequate. Consequently, I created a /boot
partition of 1GB and did a fresh install. (This was for moving from
F15->F16; I then successfully upgraded to F17.)
The issue for me was matching the installation to what I had previously.
My approach was to store a list of rpms (rpm -qa > F15RpmList.txt) and
then sdiff -s to a list of F16 Rpms.
Is there a more efficient procedure than this?
Much thanks.

Help needed for NFS behind a firewall on F17
by Jouk Jansen
Hi all,
I'm running a NFS-server on a F17 system. Normally I set it to use fixed
ports by inserting (as the system-config-nfs tool does) the following lines
in /etc/sysconf/nfs :
LOCKD_TCPPORT=4000
STAD_PORT=4002
RQUOTAD_PORT=4003
LOCKD_UDPPORT=4000
MOUNTD_PORT=4003
After restarting nfs I check the ports used with "rpcinfo -p"
It appears that only lockd is running on the specified port (4000), the
other not.
What am I not doing correct?
How do I get the other nfs-services use ports 4001-4003?

Yes before finding Gentoo, it was my go to distro. For a binary based
distro, it's at the top of my list.

Memory......
by EGO-II.1
Hello All,
I was just wondering if anyone knew of a program, or command that give
you a "scan" of your memory running on your system? Preferably, it
should also give you stats as to what KIND of memory you have, the
AMOUNT of memory, and the MAX capacity that your machine can hold. Any
advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
