How to only yum install x86_64 modules
When I do a yum install subversion, it is trying to install the i386 AND the x86_64 modules for subversion. My machine is 64 bit, so I only want to install the x86_64 version of subversion. How do I tell yum this? Thanks! -- Dingo Dave Bartmess Broomfield, CO.

I am member of the Fedora project and I want to have a laptop only for development and testing of the code, packages and new releases on it. So far I had mixed luck with wireless cards/drivers and video cards, so I want to ask community of Fedora users: what Laptop in below $600 or $700 would they recommend as the machine with the best Fedora experience. I am also looking for the easy hard drive swap in and out solution, so that I can swap complete distros by swapping hard drives (I have dual boots and USB but I find hard drive swapping more convenient for what I am doing. I can explain my motivation in more details if needed) Thank you, Edmon I've had good experiences with HP laptops, they have products for any pocket and (at least for me) work satisfactorily.

I type root and the written down password. Same thing Authentication Failed. That night I start another 6 hours of a clean install and this time I use the word password for the requested password. I know that I can not mess that up. The next day I come in to a clean install from the Live CD and I get the login screen. I type root and password. Authentication Failed If I wanted an operating system that all it does is display Authentication Failed, I'd be in business. I was hoping it would do more than that. What am I doing wrong? Nathan Woodruff You're not doing anything wrong. Fedora Gnome doesn't allow root access from the signon screen. You have to sign in using a user id other than root, and then su - to get to the root login. -- Dingo Dave Bartmess Broomfield, CO.

How to list what users are in a group

Information re: VirtualBox
I'm in the process of installing a new VM on VirtualBox under Fedora 12, and was wondering about the placement of files. To be short, where would the VM put any files that are created by, say Quicken. Are they saved in a specific directory, or are they bundled into the VM disk file? Basically, I want to be able to back them up with the rest of my Linux files but if they're created within the VM and saved with the VM file, then I wouldn't be able to back them up, would I?

Whenever in doubt about package names you can try commands like these, $ yum search kvm $ yum list \*kvm\* $ yum whatprovides \*/bin/\*kvm And then there are also tools like repoquery which come with yum-utils. Yum is one of the most powerful tools one can have for package management. :) I don't find kvm anywhere.
