Fedora Core 6 review (Software In Review)Fedora Core 6 review (Software In Review)Posted Nov 9, 2006 0:34 UTC (Thu) by davej (guest, #354)In reply to: Fedora Core 6 review (Software In Review) by Ed_L. Parent article: Fedora Core 6 review (Software In Review)
2a is very strange. As long as the static IP you give it is valid, along with the right gateway/nameservers, the package install phase should be completely ignorant to whether you're using static or dhcp.
2b yes, the raid interface is a bit icky. I'm not a big fan myself either. I Believe the phrase the anaconda team uses is "Patches welcomed" :)
Glad you're happy with the dual head working. It's always good to hear that the radeon driver is actually working for a change :-)

(guest, #24287) [Link] "the package install phase should be completely ignorant to whether you're using static or dhcp."And I've no doubt the package install is so ignorant. If it got that far. The problem appeared to be with the anaconda gui (python code?). I regret to have misplaced/pipe-13'd my install notes, I had intended to send them to Fedora, but couldn't get into Bugzilla without a mail account, which our IT guy seems to have managed to disable. My recollection is it appeared the gui form code itself choked. Do wish I could find my notes of the exact error message. If they turn up I'll let you know. Yeah, I realize I lucked out on the radeon driver. But I took care to enable no options that the X --configure script didn't set, save xinerama. I only require a stable multi-monitor development environment, and 3D performance isn't an issue. Proprietary blobs cluttering up kernel space are, and I hope competition from INTEL will prompt DAAMIT to release (or at least give data spec support for) FOSS drivers for their integrated graphics and similar low-end discreet cards.
Anyway, its back to the code mines. Thanks again for all the Ed

Fedora Core 6 review (Software In Review) Posted Nov 12, 2006 6:06 UTC (Sun) by routester (guest, #41631) [Link] Incidently, error (failing install process, again no trace available but appeared to be from gui\python code) also occurs if dhcp is selected but dhcp is unavailable (ie - some coffee lacking individual failed to connect the cable at patch panel). Admittedly, this is a user issue, but imho it should not bail install completely but gracefully state something to the effect of "dhcp assignment unsuccessful, would you like to try again?" or perhaps "dhcp assignment unsuccessful, please beat the individual responsible for cabling the machine".
