Hi Mike,
Thanks for the reply, but please be a bit more specific. In the link you provided me, at what section of the page I am supposed to look for the solutions to the problems I encountered ? Please tell me, I really want to learn.
And, as you can see from my post, I own two different set of systems (a Desktop PC and a Lenovo laptop) which can be used for testing purposes, so can I be of any assisstance to the Fedora Developer team ? As a novice, this is the best way I can participate in the development of FC and learn in the process too.
As far as my educational background is concerned, I completed B-Tech in Computer Science & Engineering (CSE)in 2006, an equivalent to US based four year BS Computer Engineering program. I am good at programming in C and core Java. I am currently applying for MS Computer Science program in US Universities for the Fall 2008 session.
I really want to learn and apply my creative skills effectively. So, if I can in any way participate in the development of Fedora Core, please let me know. Thanks and regards,
Cyberbob

Subject: I am having a peculiar problem
Hi,I am an user of Fedora Core since 2003, and I've used versions 1.0 and 6.0. Though I've used both versions for quite some time now, I would still like to consider myself to be a novice, since Linux is still like a mysterious lady to me :).I am facing three peculiar problems with FC6 in two systems:1. I own an Intel D865GBF based PC running an Intel 2.8 GHz processor with 512 MB MB (dual channel) DDR RAM. It houses two Seagate Baracuda 80 GB HDDs. FC6 was installed in a dual boot environment with WinXP, FC6 was installed in three primary partitions in the second HDD. Now the problem was that, whenever I tried to boot into FC6, system hanged at the "loading udev" line. I traced the source of this problem to be kernel-xen; since the problem vanished as soon as I unchecked the "Virtualisation" segment in all of the fresh installations post problem. I observed that it installed only "kernel" and not "kernel-xen". Can anyone please tell me whether my observations are correct or not, and whether there exists any solution to the problem with "kernel-xen" ?2. I own a Lenovo 3000 Y500 notebook with 512 MB DDR RAM and 120 GB HDD. FC6 is installed in a dual boot environment with Win Vista that came preloaded. As soon as I update kernel, from the next boot onwards, the updated kernel is unable to detect the laptop keyboard whereas the default kernel works fine. The problem persisted even after updating hal, cups, seliux-policy targeted and xorg-x11. Am I doing something wrong ? The same setup seems to work fine in my PC.3. Even after installing the latest JDK and JRE, the latest version of OpenOffice.org components fails to start even after giving a "installation success". I didn't installed the following bundled products: OpenOffice, Java, Java runtime, eclipse, firefox and thunderbird. I installed the latest releases of the above mentioned softwares from their respective sites. Any solutions ?Please give me a reply as soon as possible. I am eager to become a part of the FC6 Developers team, but before doing so I need to upgrade myself from novice status. For now, I would like to observe things and explore the way things work here. Wish me luck.Wishing you all a very happy prosperous new year, regards,Cyberbob (A)

Subject: FC6 guests
So, we still have a handful of FC6 guests lying around in PHX.
After a quick look, it seems that we're using them for the following
services.
publictest1
- pkgdb-dev
- ns-slapd
- mysqld
- postgres
- wevisor
publictest2
- my mash/bodhi playground
publictest4
- asterisk
test1
- security irc bot / xmlrpc.
Please feel free to chime in with any services / guests I'm missing.
With regard to publictest2, this guest can go away and not come back.
I'd be fine doing mash/bodhi testing on any guest that has a couple gigs
of RAM and read-only access to /mnt/koji.
So, in order to get this ball rolling, we need to determine which guests
we want to upgrade / destroy, what OS we want to upgrade them to, and if the
services are currently able to run on that OS. Also, when would the best time
to upgrade be?

I use pt1 for some mirrormanager hacking, but that can be done on any
system now, and I have nothing valuable on there, so it can go away at
any time from my POV.
Thanks,
Matt

Subject: the syncmail script
I know there's a lot of history around the syncmail script, does anyone
know why we don't just stick a & at the end and fork it?
I'm refering to the ctl+c to skip notifications issue.
