I've installed FC1 and devel in separate partitions to be able to help in
the tests, so I'll post a short list of things that simply do not work:
Problem 1
---------
-X crashes when drawing a window (both in devel and FC1)
The graphics card is a Mobility Radeon 9600 M10. I copied the XFConfig
from the x86_84 FAQ.
When I switch to runlevel 5, xdm starts, but crashes when a window is
drawn, as when you choose the language. It also crashes after logging,
before drawing any app icon in the fedora splash screen.
-solution: install Xfree86-4.0 from source and X works.
Problem 2
---------
-cannot add users: I suppose it's related to some selinux thing I still do
not understand. This makes installing rpms that add users a pain, as
useers are not created (i.e. postfix).
Problem 3
---------
-yum updates:
I never can connect to download.fedora.redhat.com, it fails
with: [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request
Other mirrors fail with:
Downloading needed headers
retrygrab() failed for:
ftp://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/x86_64//headers/tcl-0-8.4.5-6.x86_64.hdr
Executing failover method
failover: out of servers to try
Error getting file
ftp://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/x86_64//headers/tcl-0-8.4.5-6.x86_64.hdr
[Errno 6] ERROR: Url Return no Content-Length - something is wrong
Any good mirrors for devel? Many of them simply carry the RPMS,
forbidding yum.
Question 4
----------
-mozilla i386 or mozilla x86_64? I have i386 installed.
Thanks for your help.
