I don't know if that applies to FireFox too, but in mozilla you do:

The headers for FC1 goodies are located in a slightly different url 
"style" than those for FC2 -- use this yum.conf for starters, and you'll

    After tuning the ACPI/whatever on the BIOS, the newer kernels are
working fine and dandy.  With just one exception, but I'm sure it's
simple.
    kernel-2.6.8-1.521 seems to be perfect.  In fact, just like the
previous problem, it's probably a matter of tuning the scheduler, since
I've not touched it.
    NO, OpenGL is working just fine in hardware.
    During gameplay, I see a *THREE SECOND* delay, repeated many times
over a short game, making it very unplayable.  Nothing else is running
during this time; not playing mp3s, serving any files (the kids are
asleep) and it happens at any time of the day.
    But since the latest fix was to the interrupt-system, maybe I need
to set some priorities?  The game offers no error messages...it's just
losing timeslices here and there.  There's nothing awry in
/var/log/messages. 
    Is this something new that people need to set for various
performance levels under different loads?

The noise is still there, louder then the sound I want to hear.
again, under Red Hat Linux 7.3 and windows there is no noise but under 
fedora 2 there is, even though I have muted the inputs and set the 
volume at 70%.
Is there another sound system to use or newer drivers! (This system 
should work?)

Good day,
          I spend several hours trying to figure what is not working here...
I check the archived and probably over looked.
I can connect my port 25 if I use the terminal on the localhost (Linux box),
but not from my lan. I disable the firewall, same thing. My service port 25
point to mail, and mail is there in my /bin, I bet you this is something
very simple that I keep overlooking. But what? can you help??
Thanks

pretty easy to do this if not exactly the way you want, setup your dmz
machine to answer for your domains(mx), then use transport maps to send
all mail for those domains to your specified host. This is with postfix,
postmap transport after your finished.

I was having a sound problem too. I don't know what you mean by noise, 
but I was getting a static hiss out of the left speaker that wouldn't go 
away unless I turned my speakers off. I did a google search and found 
the answer. If your running Gnome, click on the volume icon in your 
system panel and go to properties. Turn the volume all the way down on 
the digital-1 channel. In KDE, run kmix and turn off IEC958 in the 
advanced menu.

If I understand your problem correctly, you can't connect to sendmail from
other machines ?
If that is the case, stop sendmail, look in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf for:
# SMTP daemon options
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA
and change it to:
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=0.0.0.0, Name=MTA
That will tell sendmail to accept connections from any IP.
Start sendmail and try
# telnet mailsrv 25
from other machines.
I assume you can also set the DaemonPortOptions to accept only mail from
i.e. 192.168.*.* . Have a look in the manual - I've not tried this yet.
Cheers,
Hannes.

Thanks to Andrew Konosky for solving my problem :)
The Noise is a hiss that comes out the speakers.
Andre suggested:
In KDE, run kmix and turn off IEC958 in the advanced menu.

Without relaxing your security policy between dmz->green (even during a
specifed timeslot), I don't see that you have much choice but to use a
program like fetchmail to pull (download) your e-mail from the DMZ server.
If I had to deal with a security policy such as yours, I would look at
configuring the DMZ mail server to store all inbound e-mail in a single
mailbox (single password vs. multiple), then use fetchmail's multi-drop
feature to retrieve e-mail from your DMZ server and then store the retrieved
e-mail in individual mailboxes on the green server. See "man fetchmail" for
examples of using multi-drop and especially the USER AUTHENTICATION AND
ENCRYPTION section for password encryption between the green server and DMZ
server. Another option might be to create an SSH tunnel between the
green->DMZ server to pull your queued e-mail.
You know, if you were willing to relax your security policy for a given
timeslot (like a cronjob), you could configure your DMZ MTA to use a
"deferred" queue, then issue an ETRN (during the cronjob) to release/deliver
your e-mail to the green server.
