Yes, you can get rid of it. A fresh install shouldn't have
modules.conf at all.
(That's if you're not planning to try to run 2.4 kernels.)
Of course, it's normally a good plan to rename files and run for a bit
to check that they really aren't needed. I like to use my initials for
this (e.g. modules.conf -> modules.conf.jpw): that way, I know that I
renamed the file manually, not some upgrade program.
HTH,
James.

The Hewlett Packard proliant DL140 server does not have a floppy or a
cdrom drive. So I attempeted to install FC2 using the PXE network
install option.. I was able to connect to another server hosting the
installation files but after the selecting "English" and a "US" keyboard
it said I needed a network driver to continue. These machines use the
Broadcom tg3 driver which I selected but the installation did not
continue but instead just asked for another network driver. I then tried
to use a usb memory stick with the diskboot.img and a NFS install and it
stopped at the same point. Next I went out and bought a ucb cdrom drive
which I booted from. I selected to install from the local cdrom and it
asked for a driver to do this. I selected the usb mass storage driver to
no avail. I ended up installing Redhat 9. It was able to find the
ethernet controllers and the usb cdrom drive. I next copied the FC2 ISO
images to the hard drive and managed to install FC2 using these ISOs.
Unfor!
tunately it did not find my ethernet controllers.

Possibly the problem is the USB device node, /proc/bus/usb/$BUS/$DEVICE
only having write permissions for root.
If you do a sane-find-scanner, you'll get a line somewhat like this:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x05d8, product=0x4003, chip=GT-6816) at
libusb:001:002
The two last numbers are the interesting ones: in my case, $BUS is 001
and $DEVICE is 002. My scanner's device node is /proc/bus/usb/001/002,
which by default was owned by root with permissions of 644.
I solved this by creating a symlink from /dev/scanner to
/proc/bus/usb/001/002. Then when I login at the console,
/proc/bus/usb/001/002 is chowned to james and chmodded to 600. Now I can
scan as a normal user.
HTH,
James.

hard to tell what happens from the info you give.
however, if it connects and you get an IP-address
assigned i guess it does not change the default route
(it does not on my machine).
after you have been connected, press the details
button in the window with the two buttons (details and
exit). it will show you a load meter and a few
IP-addresses. copy the remote IP-address (called
REMOTEIP below).
then as root, run:
route del default; route add default gw REMOTEIP
to restore to your orignal router:
route del default; route add default gw 192.168.0.1
(192.168.0.1 or whatever router you use).

Hello all-
new to the wonderful world of Red Hat/Fedora. I'm downloading the ISO 
images from the torrent, and need some help burning the install CDs. 
Last time I tried it, I downloaded each individual iso image (four in 
all) from the Red HAt site, but did something wrong with the burning 
process. Is there a way, through Windows XP, to burn a usable install 
image? Or,am  I better off to download again and use the CD burning 
process described on the Red Hat site?
thanks-

There are (or at least were) two competing upstream procps packages.
For Fedora Core 2, we switched to the one that was more actively
maintained.

I dont know what the Red Hat Website suggest regarding the burning of
those 
images, but I would suggest to simply use Nero under Win.
Select "Burn Image File", specify the first image file and u should be
fine.

The problem here is prelinking/address space randomisation.
Wine wants to load Windows libraries and such at absolute addresses
and prelink might have already reloaded stuff there.
If you disable prelink, it'll likely work again.

It already is non-preemptable. Assuming you meant the opposite, and
want us to enable CONFIG_PREEMPT, it's very unlikely to happen.
It's a marginal gain for a handful of uses, but brings a whole world
of pain for a lot of other users.

Won't happen. Having this as default will break on some devices.
It locks up the SCSI bus of badly designed devices.
If you send the relevant info from dmesg, I'll add it to the list
of devices recognised, and it'll automatically be whitelisted.
Longterm, things may change for these devices so the USB
layer recognises the type of device, and does the necessary magic
automatically.
 > I feel these are mostly minor fixes (like the kernel defaults).
A lot of people don't realise, it's very easy to pick a set of
kernel defaults that make everything work 'out of the box'
for one particular system. Trying to make a kernel that works
out of the box for every possible system we target, is a very
different problem space.  For every reason to enable an option,
there's usually a downside, and a reason not to enable it.
Sometimes it's a question of balance, sometimes there are
hard and fast rules (like 'it breaks vendor x's gizmo')

Hello, Clyde :)
That sounds EXACTLY like what happened to me.  I never found a permanent
fix, but I will quote in full my response to someone that I helped to
attain a good workaround (so good that I forget that I ever had the
problem :))
=======================================================================
I never found a PERMANENT fix, but this is what I found: in my case, the
DNS (Domain Name Server) addresses were not being written to the
/etc/resolv.conf file like they are supposed to.  What I did, at first,
was this:
1. Connected to the internet using my Fedora Core 1 installation.
2. Copied "/etc/resolv.conf", WHILE I was connected to the Internet to a
location that I could copy and paste it from later.  I had to do it that
way, becuase /etc/resolv.conf is EMPTY when you are not connected to the
Internet.
3. Rebooted into Fedora Core 2
4. Connected to the Internet, using KPPP, then, as root, I copied the
"/etc/resolv.conf" that I had gotten from Fedora Core 1 while I was
CONNECTED to the Internet to "/etc/resolv.conf" in Fedora Core 2.
5. Voila! Problem is fixed!
In other words, I copied /etc/resolv.conf which I had gotten from a
running, Internet connected Fedora Core 1 session, to a running,
Internet connected Fedora Core 2 session, and I was able to do
everything that I could not do before.
After a few days of manually copying my /etc/resolv.conf file from
Fedora Core 1 to Fedora Core 2 EVERY time we connected to the Internet,
I found out that I could set those addresses statically in KPPP (I have
NEVER had to do this before.  It always JUST WORKED :))
Assuming you can get a hold of the DNS addresses of your Internet
Provider, do the following:
kppp | Configure | Accounts | Edit (the problem account) | DNS
1. Domain name: www.eagleinet.net (example)
2. Configuration: Manual
3. DNS IP address: 12.345.678.12 (example, of course :))
4. Because I had two entries in my /etc/resolv.conf file from Fedora
Core 1, I repeated step 3, and put the second address in.
5. You should now have two entries that look like the numbers in step 3
in the box labled: DNS address list
Since I started doing that, everything works perfectly.  In fact, I had
forgotten that I had ever had this problem until I got your email :)
Of course, the question still remains: Why did this problem crop up,
apparently, between Fedora Core 2, Test Release 3 (all updated applied)
and Fedora Core 2?  This is a mystery......
Anyway, if you have any further questions, please let me know.
