New "Computer" Desktop Icon Style
by Steven Garrity 09 Mar '04

09 Mar '04

I see that there is now a new desktop icon for the "Computer". I was wondering why this icon is a straight-on perspective and not the standard bluecurve perspective LCD-monitor computer icon (the one seen in the graphical boot and in the System Settings icon. Steven Garrity

I have one Desknote from ECS that uses that chip and , although no sound when leaving it with the default driver, it works ok with the Intel810 Audio. Try it. Haven?t done it with Fedora yet, but that was the case in Mandrake and Red Hat, so I figure it is a common glitch.

I'd like to stick with RedHat...
by Jim Lemon 02 Mar '04

02 Mar '04

Hi, After quite a few years of using RedHat, I bought the Enterprise 3 WS distribution and installed it on a Dell Dimension desktop. I had been running RedHat v7.2 and it was, as usual, performing excellently. I was also planning to install it on my Web server, also running v7.2. However, the result was abysmal. Many of the applications didn't work properly or didn't work at all, Tcl-Tk wasn't there (although I eventually did manage to find it on one of the CDs - the Enterprise package system is pathetic), the USB ports disappeared and in the end, I simply had to reinstall v7.2 to get anything done. I didn't dare try installing on my Web server. As the subject line says, I'd like to stick with RedHat - it's been very good to me over the years, and I'm wondering if the Fedora stuff is continuing what I thought was the RedHat tradition of usability. Thanks for your patience and any advice you can provide. Jim Dr Jim Lemon Health Psychology Unit University of Technology, Sydney Feel free to ignore any garbage beneath this line.

Hello All, Long time Linux user but I'm having trouble with SIS7012 audio chipset on my laptop. I have played around with modules and various sound config tools but having trouble still. No audio at all (it has worked previously with 'alternative' operating systems. I would like to hear from anyone with experience with this chipset. Cheers. AG.

Lock up
by chris stringer 01 Mar '04

01 Mar '04

I am new to Fedora Core and am having trouble geting it to run on my laptop. I have a Compaq Presario 2580, 40GB, 512 MB 802.11g 10/100NIC, CDRW/DVD. I have loaded the program, configured boot to dual boot with Win XP (The borg). When I select Fedora from my boot list it starts and then freezes direcly after it says loading local drives. If anyone has information on how I can fix this eror I would greatly appriciate the help. I love linux, and had it running on my old Dell laptop, Redhat 8.0. I can run a live eval of SuSE 8.1, so I dont think it is a campatability issue, but I still cant configure Feora to run. Please help me. ===== Chris Stringer cstringer18(a)yahoo.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Get better spam protection with Yahoo! Mail. http://antispam.yahoo.com/tools
