Not sure what you mean about this. Can you be more specific? Perhaps
it's relevant.
It was quite some time ago, but if you search the list archives for mike40033 samsung, you'll probably find it.
By the way, I didn't upgrade to F7, I did a clean install on a new hard disk.

You are confused. There have not been any huge updates for this. For
example, "metakit" (see above quote) for stock Fedora 7 is unchanged
since May 23rd and does NOT require python(abi) = 2.4 (which is Fedora
Core 6 and older), but python(abi) = 2.5. A simple upgrade to Fedora 7
would have replaced it with the f7 package already. Same applies to
python-imaging-tk (... and I haven't checked the others).
$ rpm -qpR metakit-2.4.9.6-1.fc7.i386.rpm |grep py
python(abi) = 2.5

No, I didn't do anything like that. I just can't remember whether I
used HTTP or NFS for the last network install. My install booted from
the rescue disc to do a network install with the files from a DVD ISO as
files on my hard disc, exactly as copied from it. The copying process
would have been from a loop mount, but the actual install wasn't.
But anyway, I think that's probably going off on a tangent from the
original poster's query about networking installing.
I do recall having quite some difficulty the first time I tried to
install. I'd put the install files onto another hard drive, and tried
to do an install from a local hard drive, and despite it being mounted
and readable, the install routine couldn't make use of it.
I installed another box by removing the DVD drive from yet another
computer.
And the last FC7 install was using the rescue CD as the boot drive, and
external drive in a USB box with the DVD ISO on it.

Probably you changed the "preferences" in your window manager to turn
off automount. Or some update did it for you. This is one of the first
things I do, since having the system, WM or hal, checking for new media
can create problems with burning.
There was a discussion of this on another list, the mode of the burner
can get changed, streaming can be interrupted, etc.
If you want to enable that behavior, start in Preferences, I don't
remember if it's Hardware or Look&Feel, but it's there, something like
"mounting of media or such."

The document appears to refer to FC5 and earlier, or maybe FC6, when the
install format changed from "many CDs" to "DVD" it looks as if something
was lost, like the ability to install from your own local network copy.
Thanks for the link, however.

When you open the Volume control there are two Mixers, and one is
the OSS Mixer. Go to recording and click on the mike below the
Microphone slider. Now turn up the slider and you should be heard just fine.

It is used in the making of rpm files. I didn't read it with care.
But it is in Maximum RPM.

One thing that may be very important is to make sure the appropriate ports have
access - in other words don't forget to open the firewall as necessary.
I have been bitten a few times by forgetting that the firewall can stop things
working, not only for nfs but also for wireless cards to work correctly -
depending on how you configure your firewall of course!

[BEEEP!] Wrong answer.
It is NOT used in the making of rpm files. The Amanda application was
used to provide an example of creating a (more complicated) package.
The first appearance of "Amanda" (page 276 of the printed book, page 367
of the pdf book) is:
"So, without further ado, let's meet amanda..."
a statement preceded by the paragraph:
"In this chapter, we’ll package a more complex application that will
call on most of RPM’s capabilities. We’ll start with a general overview
of the application and end with a completed package, just as you would
if you were tasked with packaging an application that you’d not seen
before."
Please, Karl, attempt to be a bit less Authoritative when you are
clearly talking through your shirt-sleeve.

I don't know what pilot error is supposed to mean but if it means misuse
of OOwrite I disagree. In MS word if you go to printer setup under File
and click on Landscape the document becomes Landscape. If openoffice is
supposed to mirror MS behavior it should have the same functionality.
I am glad to know that Landscape printing is possible but not by the
method that should work. That is a bug in my book.

To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx
Message-ID: <472B18B2.6030608@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Hey list,
I was trying to compile a program that a friend of mine made, and it
requires the library and headers of procps.
I could find a number of RPM packages from other distributions, as well
as debian packages that also
contain the headers, but I have yet to find a fedora RPM that has
these.My friend runs debian and can compile
this the program just fine. There is a procps-debuginfo package, but it
does not have all the header files I need.
Another thing I noticed (unsure if it's just my setup though), when I
try to compile my program, it does not
find libproc. However, when I look in my /lib directory, I can find
libproc-3.2.7.so. Symlinking this to
/lib/libproc.so does work though.
Anyone a solution for this, or do I have to get the files from another
distro? (I sure hope not)
Regards

if you serve out as NFS, you don't need to loop mount. You only serve
the iso's themselves via NFS

Well it might with a real IP address... None of the octets would be
greater than 255 in a real one - and they don't have leading 0's.
