SueD Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Striker, it turned out to be a nice weekend so I didn't install Fedora yet. Today is a holiday and it's pretty miserable out. Hubby will spend the afternoon in front of the TV watching movies so I'll be installing then. Wish me luck! Quote
striker Posted May 19, 2008 Author Posted May 19, 2008 Up to a good install Sue, and remember: there's always the 'fedora links' thread. I'm probably not around here again before tomorrow somewhere, I'm investigating wireless at the moment: something is wrong here and I need to know what it is and why, and of course what. edit: solved the wireless problems with all three wifi cards. (using windows xp ) Seems some distro bakers or who knows don't seem to know the difference between 63 characters hex and 64 characters hex. So I set up wifi from scratch and used a 63 character key, just to be on the safe side. Tomorrow on to the linux boxes. Quote
SueD Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 It's in! And now I'm spending time doing a lot of reading. Thanks for your encouragement Striker. Quote
striker Posted May 19, 2008 Author Posted May 19, 2008 First task : doing all updates. (warning: there's a new kernel in the updates. It is possible you'll see an error message or two about not being able to enumerate USB Devices on Port such and such. Nothing to worry about, just ignore them.)Reboot after having installed all updates. Quote
SueD Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 I'm way ahead of you. I followed the perfect desktop link you have on the first page a few hours ago, including the updates. All went well and there were no error messages. Afterward, I reread the other links you had posted. After awhile, all the words stared to blur together so I knew it was time to take a break. I'm not really crazy that it comes with Fx 3.0 beta. Most of my usual extensions don't work but hopefully that'll be rectified soon after the final release comes out. Give me a few days to take it for a spin, kick the tires, etc. before I decide if I like it or not. Gnome is taking some getting used to but I'm sure I'll feel comfortable with it after awhile. Quote
striker Posted May 19, 2008 Author Posted May 19, 2008 No worries Sue, you're doing fine. Just take a break now and relax. I do that too, it's bedtime overhere.And the extensions, I posted a little list which ones work and I tested those personally and am using them myself. That list is here:http://forums.scotsnewsletter.com/index.ph...st&p=250922 Quote
SueD Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Give your self some rest, relax. You're a fine one to talk! I am taking a break. And to make sure I do, I've rebooted into Mandriva where it will stay, at least until tomorrow. Quote

(tested and acknowledged by me :it's working OK on my 32 bit installed system and does what it has to do, enable the tapping option hardware wise on the touchpad) Quote
