I finally got a chance to install FC6 on my home pc (after an install on a laptop and a pc at work), and I did a much more thorough installation at home. I have to say, this looks like one of the best and most complete FC's so far. I liked a lot the fact that I could add livna during the installation, so all ffmpeg-based multimedia, mp3 stuff and other eye candy and certain tools and libraries that I need were ready to go upon the first boot. On my onboard intel graphics chip, compiz was straightforward (unlike the other two nvidia machines, which had to wait for the latest 9629 nvidia driver). That's outstanding. Some comments and quirks though. I use the mouse very little, doing just about everything from the keyboard. In metacity I have shortcuts for opening various programs (particularly a shell, a browser and pan). Compiz does not remember my shortcuts for the shell and for pan. There are no entries for them under System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts. Does anybody know how to set them? I did look in gconf-editor under apps->metacity->global-keybindings, etc. and the one for pan is there, but not working under compiz. During installation, if I wanted to configure the ethernet card with a static IP address, if IPv6 support is checked, I have to enter an IPv6 address. I know nothing about IPv6 addresses. What should I enter there? This is not an FC bug, it's my own ignorance. I got around it by disabling IPv6 support for eth0. What is the fetish about making it as hard as possible to use a shell in FC? Not only is it not in the keyboard shortcuts menu, but even to add a launcher to it, or open it from the menu takes some searching. To me, the shell is the nexus of the universe, and I assume for other people too, so it should be readily available, or easy to be made available by those who wish to do so. Yeah, I'm talking about gnome. Would it be possible to unselect every SELinux package at install time, so I don't have to worry about it at all? If I set SELinux on disabled, it reboots, relabels the file system, etc. but I keep getting policy updates via yum, even though SELinux is disabled. I am going to uninstall all selinux rpms that I can find, but could this be an option during the install? Window fading in compiz is super cool and useful. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
