It is not clear in the release notes which modes are supported. I have just tried virtual resources - failed with unable to read package metadata, failure with a reference to repodata/comps.xml from anaconda Errno 256 I have just tried with physical resources - hangs loading a DAC960 driver, which is a RAID SCSI card. If you clarify which modes and hardware Fedora5 has been tested on, we might avoid many frustrations in Fedora users. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

For example: To burn CD iso image ensure that you have "cdrecord" package installed (you install cdrecord) and use a command like this: # cdrecord -v -pad -eject -data FC-5-i386-disc1.iso To burn DVD iso image ensure that you have "dvd+rw-tools" package installed (yum install dvd+rw-tools) and use a command like this: # growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=FC-5-i386-DVD.iso Warning: Do not use cdrecord to burn DVD+R media - this will probably not work: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=136665 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

[Bug 185788] New: RELNOTES - Better explanation of PostgreSQL upgrade

If you upgrade an existing Fedora system with a PostgreSQL database, you must upgrade the database to access the data." To me it's not clear that you have to back up _before_ upgrading. I'd rather prefer: "The internal data storage format changed in respect to the version provided in Fedora Core 4, PostgreSQL 8.0. Before upgrading an existing Fedora Core system with a PostgreSQL database, you must back up the data and then restore it after the upgrade." -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

Minor bug report on release note
by Ryoichiro Tsuruno 27 Apr '06

27 Apr '06

Hi, I was going through the release note for FC5 and found a very minor misspelling. In section 2.1.3. System Level Changes, the last bullet where it talks about SELinux, Multi-Level Security is abbriviated to (MCS). It should be MLS. It is pretty minor, but I just wanted to let you know.

[Bug 998] FTP/NFS install/upgrade is unsafe, should check GPG signatures.
by Red Hat Bugzilla 24 Apr '06

Please do not reply directly to this email. All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug report. Summary: FTP/NFS install/upgrade is unsafe, should check GPG signatures. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=998 ------- Additional Comments From nman64(a)n-man.com 2006-04-24 22:27 EST ------- My thoughts: 1. Chicken-and-egg: What can you trust? At some point, people just have to apply a certain degree of faith. As long as their is a complete chain of cryptographic signatures, we simply have to provide a single trusted source. That source would most likely be the websites, where we already have SHA1 checksums provided. Users must simply be able to have faith in our websites. 2. Chain formation: * We provide checksums for the images on the websites. * When creating repository configurations for yum, we provide GPG key locations. * We provide key fingerprints for our repositories on the websites. * We place configurations and keys for regular repositories on the install media. * Anaconda asks for additional repository information at install time. * During the installation, missing GPG keys are downloaded *before* installation. * The downloaded key fingerprints are presented to the user by Anaconda. * The user can compare fingerprints to those from the websites. * Third-party repositories can provide the same information. * The user has an opportunity to approve or refuse each key. * Anaconda asks the user whether or not to trust unsigned or unverified packages. * Anaconda uses yum to download the packages and verify signatures.
