    Hi, recently got fedora on my pc - very good. Well
    done whoever makes it!

    Few probs to solve though...if anyone knows the answer
    pls help me...

    1. I get my ip address dynamically, so my /etc/hosts
    file is empty - but fedora complains about this on
    start up. What should go in there...? just my
    hostname? hostname and any old address?

    2. The bottom of a Mozilla browser is covered by the
    start bar. How can I make it open so it fits within
    the window space? (It is impossible to size it down by
    hand because you can't get hold of the bottom of it).

    3. And if you are still reading...the auto-update ia
    great for fedora packages etc, but what abput
    something like Ogle dvd player. As yet, I have had to
    search for the rpm, then look for its dependencies...
    and so on. Surely this is not the way to do it? surely
    it can be done automatically?

    Thanks for any help,

    Henry
