Fedora 9 Rescue CD, where?
Hi! Do you know where I can find Fedora 9 Rescue CD ISO? I look everywhere under ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/ but could not find it. For Fedora 8, the rescue CD was here: ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-8-i386-rescuecd.iso But nothing like that under Fedora 9 directory.

Problem installing on Realtek RTL8102EL, Intel 945GC / ICH7 Chipset, Biostar G31-M7 TE motherboard
Hi! I tried to install Fedora 9 through network, but I meet a problem that Fedora installer (or its Live CD) cannot recognize the integral ethernet controller Realtek RTL8102EL. The log shows r8169 driver is loaded, but not eth interface is activated. Other issue also that sounds controller does not seems to be recognized as well. Also the GUI when loaded reported that there was a kernel failure, but looking at the log I cannot find what failure it was. I created sysreport of the system just after boot up, which can be found here: http://arifsaha.xtreemhost.com/sysreport-localhost.localdomain.20081112174436.tar.bz2 The specification is as follow: Processor Intel Celeron Dual-Core E1200, 1.6Ghz, 800Mhz, 512KB Cache Motherboard Biostar G31-M7 TE Intel 945GC + ICH7 Chipset http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en-us/mb/content.php?S_ID=363 Memory 1GB DDR2 GraphicsIntel Media Accelerator Graphic Hard Drive 160GB 7200rpm Serial ATA Optical Drive 18x DVDR/RW Writer Sound Card 5.1 HD Audio Any idea?

I ran screaming into the night :-). Really? I guess that website is not so good, then. I am pretty sure I am not reading 97 pages before creating my own rpm successfully. :-) I suggest start with another rpm close to the one you need, open the source, then modify the spec file to your need. Therefore you need read the documentation only for the items used in the spec file. With grim determination in their eyes they marched off to do battle with the .deb packaging tools, then with amazement, they emerged from their cubicles, having gotten the .deb building down pat in a couple of hours. AFAIK .deb file also lacking some capabilities of rpm, e.g. the one hit me before is that .deb file can only have 1 source file and 1 patch file, while rpm can have multiple source files and multiple patch files. I can only conclude there is something fundamentally wrong with the simplicity factor in rpms :-). It probably true, being more powerful tools may make it difficult to be simple at the same time. :-) -- (stephan paul) Arif Sahari Wibowo /___ /___/ /___/ /___ http://www.arifsaha.com/ / / / / / http://www.arifsaha.com/christhasrisen.html -- 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

Applications Dock functionality (launcher, lister, switcher combined), no eye candy required?
Hi! I am looking for an application which can function as applications dock (combined functions of applications launcher, lister and switcher), similar to OS X dock, but I don't need the eye candy (transparency, 3d effect, icon enlargement, bouncing icon, etc.) (in fact, when I use OS X, I set its dock visual effect to minimum). I actually prefer low weight low resources application, something like WindowMaker's application dock (not its widget dock) but works well with other desktop environment (i.e. can do drag & drop). It should also available in various distro, but specifically at present I need it to run in Fedora. I tried Docker, but when I run it nothing show up in the screen. I tried SimDock, but it has several issues (does not seems to show an application is running, has errors, does not work well with GNOME). I tried GNOME Do (to get its Docky) but it has error (Failed to contact configuration server) that I still debug. Avant WM and CairoDock seems to be too heavy weight (need composited screen). Any other suggestion?

On Wed, 15 Jul 2009, Jud Craft wrote: All docks currently in existence require a composited screen. They all are designed to mimic the animation-heavy OS X dock. Well, that statement is definitely incorrect since WindowMaker windows manager do have its own dock (with combined function of applications launcher, lister and switcher), without requiring composited screen or any heavy animation. Unfortunately it is tied to WindowMaker. I just want to know whether there are other applications like that outside WindowMaker. -- (stephan paul) Arif Sahari Wibowo /___ /___/ /___/ /___ http://www.arifsaha.com/ / / / / / -- 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

Re: Virtualization for Beginner
On Wed, 22 Apr 2009, Daniel B. Thurman wrote: It seems that VM Wizard wants to create an "image", but my problem is, that I already have a multiboot setup with XP in it's own primary partition. Using real / raw / physical partition in a virtual machine can be tricky and risky. It is especially risky when that partition is on the same disk as the primary OS, since the VM will have access to the whole disk (not just the partition), and that means that 2 running OS accessing the same HD. If there is something wrong with the running VM, the HD can be corrupted. Anyway, AFAIK in the VirtualBox user manual there is a section about using real / raw / physical disk / partitions: how, why, adn the risks. You may have to run it from command line. The choices I have is to: 1) Create new hard disk 2) Use existing hard disk and then it has a drop down for `media' What exactly does it mean by choice (2)? Means using virtual disk image created earlier from other VM session. Do I have to use the XP CD/DVD and create a NEW hard disk partition or what? What are my options? You should create new image, and - yes - using a MS Windows XP CD/DVD to install new MS Windows XP installation. Yes you will need to activate this installation later. This is the most straightforward method to use VM. There is another path by migrating exiting Windows installation, but AFAIK that can be tricky as well. -- (stephan paul) Arif Sahari Wibowo /___ /___/ /___/ /___ http://www.arifsaha.com/ / / / / / http://www.arifsaha.com/christhasrisen.html -- 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
