I have a small home LAN. I am running FC15 on the server. As I still have not made a full peace with FC15 I'm still running FC13 on the client. Several years and FC versions ago, someone on the list told me about this procedure for setting up NFS, which has been working fine... until now.

running programs as root in KDE

As a longtime gnome user, I've been disappointed in finding my hardware simply can't handle gnome3 of FC15 and have switched to KDE. I've connected to the Internet and now want to enter the names of IP addresses of my other boxes in /etc/hosts. Something that used to be simple -- i.e. open Konsole,

When I try logging on after booting up FC15 for the first time... oh no! It's extremely irritating to get a cute message that offers no useful information whatsoever. My impression from cursory scanning of this list is that gnome 3 doesn't work with a lot of hardware configurations. Is this likely

I am trying to upgrade the boxes on a small LAN from FC11 to FC13. The server is now running FC13 and NFS. One of the boxes that is still running FC11 can read & write to the shared directories on the server without problems. But I'm having problems accessing these directories on another client tha

editing menus on FC13 gnome desktop

How does one edit menu items on the gnome desktop in FC13? In FC11, right-clicking on the little footprint logo on the left end of the panel would bring up an "edit menus" option. But in FC13, right-clicking on the similarly placed "f" logo gives a list from which this option is missing. -- user
