by Andrew Parker 20 Jan '09

I installed from the KDE Live CD, so I don't have the gnome desktop installed, but all the fonts on gnome apps are way too big. How do I configure the default font size for gnome apps?

Fedora home server using core 9
by Darren Foster 08 Dec '08

08 Dec '08

Hi there, I'm relatively new to the forum. I have used fedora core 6-7-8 just in a Desktop environment not really having anything technical to do with it. So currently i am downloading fedora core 9 and want to use this as my home server to store all of my music and data on. Eventually i want to be able to run a blog from it and setup a mail server to work from this one box. So what i am asking is if anyone knows of any good walkthroughs for setting any of these up? Regards, Darren Foster

Uninstall
by mike 07 Dec '08

07 Dec '08

Is there a way to just flat uninstall FC 8. I need to make a workstation match a customer configuration. They use Ubuntu, which has the worst Installation program I have ever seen. Thus I need to uninstall FC 8 to create open space. Partion Magic from the XP partition craps the basket and claims it cannot even find the drive letter. I really would hate to buy a new machine just to match the customer configuration. Any help is appreciated.

Turbo Memory
by Claude Jones 17 Nov '08

17 Nov '08

I was spec'ing a new laptop tonight, and noticed it had 1 GB of 'Turbo Memory' -- this is a new Intel specification that uses flash memory to cache frequently used items and is only available in Windows-land with Vista. It is not CPU cache nor RAM. Does anyone know of any work being done to access this new technology in Linux? -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA

by Chris G 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

I just did:- yum install gallery2 It installed with no errors. The trouble is I now have no clue as to what to do next. What do I have to do next, I can't see any *obvious* pages to browse to get it going. Yes, I do have apache installed and running, and PHP, and mySql. -- Chris Green
