I just found out that yum's --installroot is _not_ meant for
installing in a non-default location; this flag, along with
rpm's --root flag, are for maintaining separate installations
of linux (
1) Download sources from Broadcom
http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
2) yum --installroot=`pwd`/foo -y -v install kernel-{headers,devel}-`uname
-r`
3) yum --installroot=`pwd`/foo -y -v install gcc
4) set-up PATH for usr/local/bin and usr/bin
5) set-up LD_L

Resolution: Look at output of dmesg for more info on error
messages associated with kernel modules, and use
the modinfo command on the kernel module to peek
into kernel module.

Hello,
On Fedora-14:
1) if I install things by "configure; make ; make test; make
install", will yum automatically know how the system has
changed? If not, how does up update yum's database to
reflect the changes?
2) Similar question for perl modules (perl Makefile.PL;
Hello,
In my attempts at replacing Windows on my Dell M6400 laptop
with -14-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso, I have gotten as far as
being able to create a live usb stick. My next step is to get
on the internet via the Dell Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN
Mini-Card and my "WPA" network.

Hello,
On Windows XP Pro, I was successful in creating
a F14 Live USB using pendrivelinux.com's
Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.3.4.exe.
Before using this tool, I did try Fedora's own
liveusb-creator.exe -- but it complained that it could not
find 7z and told me to extract everything -
Hello,
Neither Fedore-14-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso nor
Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-KDE.iso on a laptop seemed to detect
the wireless network. The laptop has Dell Wireless 1510
Wireless-N WLAN Mini-Card and refs [1, 2] seem to indicate
that necessary drivers/software are in Fedora by default
Hello,
I tried both Fedore-14-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso and
Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-KDE.iso. I thought perl 5.12 was
in every FC14, but it turned out that while FC14-KDE has
perl (5.12), "which perl" returned nothing in the
default FC14. How come?
Thanks,
