I have been reading posts on fedora-list for awhile now but I haven't seen anyone mention updating their doc files. You can find that information here: http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/docs/ Execute the following in a terminal: export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@rhlinux.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS cvs -z3 login cvs -z3 co fedora-docs That will update your docs. I know alot of mine where updated when I ran this command.

Nedit question
by Guy Bouchard 06 Mar '04

06 Mar '04

Hi. I am new to Linux and a french speaking guy. French character like éÉèì are working fine everywhere on FC1. Nedit can show those character see next line: vélo, recumbent, allongé BUT I can't get them from my keyboard ONLY in Nedit (got them everywhere else). Here what i got in Nedit when i try to type french character: Ã©Ã?Ã¨ Is it possible to correct this? I like Nedit because i can save my html files in DOS format. I can share them easily between my machine and wife's windows machine. Thanks! -- Guy Bouchard 383 Rang 6 St-Benoit Labre Quebec, Canada G0M1P0 http://www.guybouchard.ca/

Bug?/questions about spamassassin
by Gilbert Sebenste 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

Hello all, When I run the newest version of spamassassin (2.6.3-0.2) from the init.d directory as user root, it hangs when I use "-u mailnull" as the options. Or any other user (mail, etc), for that matter. Typing ./spamassassin start with just the option above shows: starting spamd: And then it hangs. Using the defaults with the software (-d -c -a -m5 -H) works fine, except my incoming spam is labeled as [SPAM] in Pine. Is there any way, from the spamassassin option command line above, to add an option to automatically delete those incoming emails when they are detected to be spam? I'm sure there is, but in my half-awake state and 2 hours on the spamassassin web site, I'm not clear how to do it. Thanks, as always, for any help! ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** (My opinions only!) ****** Staff Meteorologist, Northern Illinois University **** E-mail: gilbert(a)niu.edu *** *******************************************************************************

"search archives" signature
by dalen 04 Mar '04

04 Mar '04

I wonder if a simple signature change would help reduce repetitive questions? Perhaps change the current list signature to this... fedora-list mailing list fedora-list(a)redhat.com To search archives: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/ To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list What do you think?

Re: Giving up on Linux ... NO WAY
by Doug Lane 04 Mar '04

04 Mar '04

I am NOT a computer expert. I tried RH8 and it recognized everything on a computer that was several years older. I said, "Why not on a laptop" I threw it on a laptop and bang it runs perfectly. I really am not any good with computers, and I was surprised that I was having no problems. My confidence was gaining and I tried a new computer with RH9. Bang - perfect! I tried downloading and installing Mplayer - no luck. Tried Xine. No problem! I had tried swapping an NVidia card with an old generic SIS - not much luck with Redhat. I had purchased SuSE 8.2 because I heard it was good. Nvidia card recognized without any problem. Went back to RH9 because it was more stable than SuSE, installing ATI instead. Tried Ximian, worked great. Downloaded Fedora. I love it. Put Suse 9 on my wife's machine, in the process wiping out a legal copy of Windows XP before backing up. (Did you know you don't get discs anymore?!) She is using it quite easily. Moral of the story? A newbie as lame as myself did quite well with Linux of various flavors on various levels of hardware; even though I realize i had setbacks, I figured out alternates and other ways around; and, finally I realized that Linux is worth the work, and is accessible to everyone. I can't understand that someone who boasts that they know alot about computers could say that they had trouble with linux.

How do I access an external usb 2.0 harddrive? I have read a couple of "How-tos", but something isn't registering in my brain. I've had a very bad day! Sarah Fish Saratoga Springs, NY
