Hi, I installed Redhat 9.0 and I am really happy with it. Very good-looking fonts, bluecurve is really beautiful, and many GUI tools for system administration. However I have some questions on things I just haven't figured out yet: On each boot it seems that my /ect/fstab gets recreated by the "Checking for new hardware" script. How can I add mountpoints to it permanently? The "Add/Remove Programs" is really nice, but I found rpms on the cd which do not appear there, e.g. the prelink-rpm. Am I on crack or are there rpms shipping with RH9 which you cannot install with the GUI? Is there a way (using a GUI) to search through the available rpms on the cds (as you can do in mdk)? I have an onboard soundcard, and in mdk9 it works fine, but they use ALSA, with the snd-via8233 module. Has anyone got this work in Shrike? (My board is a Gigabyte VAX7-1394) I am not able to get my internal ISDN card work, although shrike recognizes it, but I can not activate (connect) it in the network-setup-GUI, simply nothing happens. Again in mdk9 no problem. My card identifies as (lspci): 00:0d.0 Network controller: Tiger Jet Network Inc. Model 300 128k This works in the grub configuration: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi vga=0x318 But why doesn't this work? kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=/dev/hdb3 hdd=ide-scsi vga=0x318 // personal comment follows The rhnsd runs as root, basically that means Redhat have root-access to my system... Luckily they're not M$... And logged into the redhat-network on the web I can trigger software installs/uninstalls on my system... Very nice, well, trust RH 100%, or keep ur system up to date manually... ;-) Anyway, very good work from RH! thanks for any hint! best regards, Yves -- Linux 2.4.19-16mdk #1 Fri Sep 20 18:15:05 CEST 2002 i686 10:24pm up 1:14, 2 users, load average: 0.09, 0.14, 0.09
