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.

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.

[Bug 197554] New: RELNOTES - Encrypted swap and non-root filesystem support

Please do not reply directly to this email. All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug report. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=197554 Summary: RELNOTES - Encrypted swap and non-root filesystem support Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: normal Component: release-notes AssignedTo: relnotes(a)fedoraproject.org ReportedBy: mitr(a)redhat.com QAContact: kwade(a)redhat.com CC: kwade(a)redhat.com FC6 provides basic support for encrypted swap partitions and non-root filesystems. To use it, add entries to /etc/crypttab and reference the created devices in /etc/fstab. An example /etc/crypttab entry for a swap partition: my_swap /dev/hdb1 /dev/urandom swap,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 This creates an encrypted block device /dev/mapper/my_swap, which can be referenced in /etc/fstab. For a filesystem volume: my_volume /dev/hda5 /etc/volume_key cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 The /etc/volume_key file contains a plaintext encryption key. You can also specify "none" as the key file name, and the system will ask for the encryption key during boot. It is recommended to use LUKS for filesystem volumes: - Create the encrypted volume using (cryptsetup luksFormat) - Add the necessary entry to /etc/crypttab - Set up the volume manually using (cryptsetup luksOpen) or reboot - Create a filesystem on the encrypted volume - Set up an /etc/fstab entry -- 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.
