Red Hat Meetup
Went to the Red Hat Meetup day today at Gloria Jeans. Nice, Russell Coker, Anshul Gupta, and two other Korean folk joined us (sorry, forgotten the names!). Mike was supposed to show, but it was a no go. Had coffee, chatted about usual things, mainly SE Linux and how we can secure Linux a wee bit more. Whined about Malaysia’s RH scene, found out RH Korea makes most of its money from training, and might want to do this regularly. (photos)
Before that, it was an Apple talk. Pure marketing stuff, I wish it was more technical oriented when he talked about HPC. Some nibbles and a Coke I had. Trains were delayed today, driver shortage.
- FC2 test2 on the Digital Celebris (dobby) installed fine in text mode – 64MB RAM, Pentium Pro 180, Matrox Millenium VGA, NIC all working. SELinux is in enforcing mode (Active), only noticed hang is that after installation, when I get to the reboot screen, it just hung. #118992 is where this lives.
- If the FC2 test2 CDs don’t boot for you, Smart Boot Manager is what you want. Running it will write itself to a nice floppy, and your boot choices will be aplenty. Seems to be a problem on the lists I’ve noticed.
When I burned the FC2test2 CDs with Nero, they booted fine on one machine (Dell Optiplex GX1 with regular CD-ROM), but did not boot on another (Shuttle ST62K with Plextor PX-708A CD/DVD burner). I was able to boot the FC1 disc 1 on the Shuttle ST62K and swap in the FC2test2 disc 1 just fine. It passed the media check and installed fine. I imagine there’s some characteristic of the ISO that certain drives do not detect as bootable. Yeah, I should report this on the bug, rather than your blog, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet.
It seems to be a known problem, its all over Bugzilla, as well as the lists
