Hi all. My monitor is not in the list of monitors for Fedora Core. I've managed to set it up for the maximum resolution as per the manufacturer. Is there someone I can just submit a slice of my XF86Config file to to have it included in Fedora Core 2?
Thanks and cheers,
Charles

File a bug against 'hwdata' and make sure to include the refresh rates as well as the EISA ID for your monitor. To get this information, run 'ddcprobe' as root and attach the output to the bug report.

Thanks Brent, but what if ddcprobe fails? ddcprobe found the video card but didn't like the monitor? The monitor is a Sun Microsystems 19" CM751U which might have something to do with it.
Thanks and cheers,

The Red Hat Network Updater applet now supports yum (but not apt), fortunately. However, it only shows upgradeable packages and not new packages or packages that are not yet installed. This should become a standard feature. Before Fedora I used Synaptic with great success and it work easily and reliably (no longer with FC1).
A related issue is that still the packages offered are rather few and come out very late. For example, Mozilla is now at version 1.6, but 1.4.1 is the latest that can be installed via rpm/yum/apt on FC1. What will we see as improvements regarding de/installation options and procedures in FC2?
comments are welcome Andre

I'm confused - at which point do all the various mechanism: up2date, system-config-packages and rhn-applet converge to display the same data and perform the same tasks.
It might be a minimalist process to converge some libs/tools/modules that these use so we're not duplicating functionality.

I've pretty much stopped using up2date & up2date-nox for updating. I find up2date has a tendency to puke (still using dialup) if I try to use it to update a larger package (i.e. kernel). Instead I use the rhn-applet to look at the list of updates, then get them via ftp from a mirror - it saves a lot of time! The mirror I was on last night to update my kernel-source clicked along between 5-7 kb/s, great for my 33.6k modem which averages 2-3kb/s.
The disadvantage of ftp is that it's not https, but I'm not running a mission critical system. (I suppose it is to me, but not to anyone else)
I too wouldn't mind seeing "new" packages showing up in rhn-applet. The FC team might also want to build in a list of https mirrors (if they exist) into up2date, it would lighten the load on the Red Hat server. I know end users can do this, but if it's part of up2date-config then maybe users will take the time to change it.
Cheers,
I've taken to using Red Carpet and the Open-carpet.org repos for my package maintainence. The only thing that I still use up2date for is the kernel, since red-carpet seems to freak out on some of the kernel scriptlets (it deleted my entire grub.conf file for some reason, and I had to rebuild it by hand).

Is there anyone who can explain to me the BEST firewall setup for fedora? I'm currently enrolled at ECPI College of Technology and my final class is one huge project. I am the network security analyst. I need to know what the best setup would be as far as rules for my firewall to keep the baddies out but let people into my DMX for my apacxhe web server and my exchange server... If anyone has a website that they could direct me to as far as setting up a box with fedora installed on it as a firewall for a 3 tier network (untrusted AKA WWW, semi-trusted AKA DMZ, and trusted AKA internal network) I would greatly appreciate it. If you need any network schematics I can send you one.... Again, thanks guys...

Maybe if you asked on the proper list you might get an answer. This list is for desktop tools devel. Please ask again on the fedora list.
