Just came across this article Getting to Know Fedora Core 1 at http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=5066&page=1 . Seems like it was written by a newbie, but he is quite happy with the whole thing. They still have the problem of not bundling the mp3 plugin for xmms. There is also an interesting thing called Rhythmbox <quote> Fedora has also bundled something called Rhythmbox version 0.5.3 to play radio station music and other types (vorbis). I fired it up and tried to connect to Digitally Imported (Netherlands) but it popped up an error 'failed to create spider element, check your installation'. So I checked the properties for that stream, and they were listed as http://213.73.255.244:8000/, I copied and pasted that address into Mozilla and it showed me a U ShoutCast D.N.A.S Status page saying the stream was up and with 43 of 300 users listening, so why couldn't I hear anything. It quickly dawned on me that once again I needed a plug-in to listen to these online radio installations, the help files included with Rhythmbox stated that the player plays MP3, FLAC or OGG/Vorbis files, but didn't mention where I could add the ability to play MP3 streams </quote>
More importantly, he says that he upgradd the Red Hat 9 to Fedora and the installation went fine. The only problem he points out is <quote> I did notice that upgrading Red Hat Linux 9 to Fedora Core 1 does not configure it to use the graphical boot feature, but a quick glance again at the release-notes tells you that you have to must install the rhgb package, and add the rhgb boot-time parameter to your boot loader configuration. </quote> Someone has also noted in the comments to the article that CodeWeaver's Crossover stuff, though it appears to work, but it cannot install anything.So if you using Crossover, be careful to double check -- / \__ ( @\___ Raj Shekhar / O My home : http://geocities.com/lunatech3007/ / (_____/ My blog : http://lunatech.journalspace.com/ /_____/ U _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
