Folks,
I am terribly puzzled by an issue reported as bug 2381
[http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2381] definitely an upstream bug, as it
does the same under X/OS 5 and StartCom 5.
Simply put: Hibernation fails with horrendous I/O errors after swsusp starts
dumping to swap.
What bugs me is
I might be stupid and ask an idiot or offensive question, but here it is:
"Why was tzdata-2007h [RHEA-2007:0928-05] only released for CentOS 2, when
upstream has released it for all the versions?"
The guys from X/OS have released it for 5.0 along with the other updates (on
Oct. 9).
Are the "enha
Mea culpa, I can see now that tzdata-2007h was released for CentOS-4 and
CentOS-5 too, on Oct. 6... it's just I didn't see the corresponding e-mails!
Sorry about that.
Thanks,

The last one (exe.1.1) is what you want -- it got redownloaded from the byte

Sorry to jump in, but where is that you saw Red Hat saying "there is
nothing _improved_ in FF2"?! I suppose RHEL5 doesn't have FF2 because
"it's too new", but here is what I terribly miss while using FF1.5:

Shouldn't the Makefile have added something like this?

But as long as it's 8139-based, shouldn't it be supported out of the box?

I've build a tiny repo to provide GIMP 2.3.15 (and 2.3.14 as a possible

GIMP 2.3.15 is the last version of GIMP that builds with no errors with the
GTK+ version that ships with EL.
2.3.15 is "almost GIMP 2.4", as 2.3.19 was the last development release prior
