This will result in a very basic system, which still will be bootable. signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Gnote was chosen over Tomboy because it uses fewer resources and doesn't pull in the Mono dependencies for the LiveCD (saving space). As you can see there are Mono packages in the repository, so there's no urgent wish to stay Mono-free. Mono was accepted in Fedora when the Open Invention Network covered it, if there was any wish to keep Fedora Mono-free this wouldn't have happened. I guess you'd rather discuss this with some guys of the Mono SIG if this answer wasn't satisfying, or we are likely going to get a 50+ posts Mono discussion :) Best regards, Julian signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Hello Paolo,
I don't know why your Firefox crashes, but it looks like it tells the
window manager to do somehing which it can't. Are you using the normal
Gnome install? I think it would be better to file this as a bug and
provide information about the window manager you're using.
Regarding the errors that include gdk_*, I'm getting them too since I
installed Fedora 11. I don't know why, but they occur whenever I start a
graphical application from the command line. However they never had any
influence on the way the programs worked.
Regards, Julian

We could contact the original initiators and ask them if they'd like to join us. The most important thing is that we will need at least one person experienced with radeon driver hacking, do you know one? When the Alpha is released one of us should contact Dave Airlie and ask him whether he has the time to do the dirty work. I didn't know the radeon situation is that bad, I guess I'm just lucky having the right card (Radeon HD 2600). signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
