Maybe, maybe not. Most software, at least in my experience, is smart
enough to only send an out-of-office reply to the first mail from any
sender. Since he's getting the digest, it always comes from the same
sender. I guess we'll find out tomorrow...

Why do you have 5 different partitions mounted at /mnt/windows?
Only the last of them to be mounted will be visible (most likely
/dev/hda9 from your description).

Yeah, I know RC1 is out. But I was hoping to help out with the Fedora
Extras RPMs -- I don't want to download the version from Mozilla.org.
Thanks anyway.

There seems to be a sql.h file in the unixODBC-devel.i386 0:2.2.8-5 package.
just do a 'yum provides sql.h'
and the result will be presented to you.

What do you have in /dev?  Also....why don't you do a 'yum update' and
update everything on the box.  I had an external reader that gave me
grief and I di dthat and no more problems.  Not sure about KDE's
control panel, I don't use it.  Need to find out how Linux treats
that.  Windows sees both the usb reader, AND the media as seperate
devices.  Basically I had usb problems but this fixed it, it may have
been some sort of differrence between v1 and v2 w/FC1.

I think it's your memory to be honest.
If you create directories /mnt/windows/c /mnt/windows/d ...
/mnt/windows/g etc. and mount each partition on the appropriate
directory, things will be much less confusing.

Make that one of the problems, or part of the problem. Some of us would
rather run anything than MegaScat, and find linux (especially RedHat &
Fedora) somewhat less unapproachable than other distributions -- but can't
begin to follow such explanations as we commonly find, even if we're at
least mildly interested. (Several of my friends and correspondents refuse
even to try linux, despite their dissatisfaction with Windows, because
they see indications of the time & effort I put into it.)
Even such as we do notice that running yum is easier than up2date (or,
afaict, apt). But without being able to read (let alone write) code, we
can at least use a yum.conf if we can copy or download it.

What are repos, and why do you look at them? What would you test??
I did use wget once -- with someone walking me through, step by step. I
don't have the kind of mind that can recall the details, nor even where to
look for them. I remember that it did a great swath of downloading all at
once, instead of laboriously one rpm after another ... But even though I
know enough to look at man wget, the result is the usual: I'm lost before
I get very far. And this is still happening after years of linux.

This is a repository problem with 'vlc' (whichever repo it came from)
There is a new version of libdvdnav - but 'vlc' which is currently
installed (from the same repository?) depends on the old libdvdnav
currently installed. (so the new libdvdnav package breaks this
dependency)
The solution is to have an updated vnc build with the updated libdvdnav
If you don't care for the new libdvdnav - just do:
yum --exclude=libdvdnav update
