<3> well cheerio then chaps
<0> :O
<4> I think I have two versions of linux... When I booted up, it prompted me to choose between two builds of Fedora. I _think_ this is because of the update utility I ran. But how do I remove the old version?
<0> you could just comment it out of /boot/grub/grub.conf
<0> what are the two versions?



<0> likely just to be two different kernels
<4> Just two builds. I can't remember the numbers.
<4> 23xx and 26xx.
<0> so you may as well leave them be
<0> 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 ?
<4> Yeah, but it won't automatically boot to the desktop.
<4> I can't remember.
<0> you can set a default in grub.conf
<0> and reduce the timeout from 10 to say 3
<4> What's the easiest way to edit conf files anyway? Take me like... 3 minutes to launch a text editor with admin rights and find the config file.
<5> http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=35748 <--check it out
<4> Gnome doesnt' seem to be too well favored... I wonder if I should uninstall it.
<4> And what is this bootsplash package, anyway?
<5> Mylon : its a screen when the kernel and init are booting
<0> nano /boot/grub/grub.conf
<0> backup first
<5> plus it can give vesa consoles a whole new meaning
<4> Okay, I have kernel 2.6.14-1.1656, and the new one is 2.6.16-1.1831... Hmm.
<4> Vesa consoles?
<6> damm why cant FC1 be as easy as yum update like FC3 lol
<5> Mylon : up2date --get-source kernel
<4> Err... Sorry, I'm a GUI whore. :)
<7> Sin_Eastwood, use yumdownloader in the yum-utils package.
<4> But I'm downloading the update, so...
<7> Sin_Eastwood, up2date is not effective in Fedora Core.
<5> yes
<5> it
<5> is
<5> it uses yum repose
<0> bbl lads
<4> The configuration editor of Fedora needs to include more conf files...
<8> Mylon: the what?
<9> i can't figure out how to block this ip block
<9> any ideas
<4> I go to the application bar and the first item in the menu is "Configuration Editor".
<7> iptables rule DROP.
<9> tried it
<7> See: man iptables
<8> Mylon: that is just GConf
<9> don't know why it didn'twork
<4> It kinda reminds me of Window's Registry editor.
<7> somedude, what was your rule set?
<9> i took it out of a howto for a generic drop line and put in the block i want but it didnt do anything
<8> Mylon: the title maybe badly named.. but the tools does exactly what its suppose to do
<10> hi..
<8> Sin_Eastwood: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=163209 up2date is broken in fc4 and will continue to be broken
<4> I can't find /boot/grub.conf through it.
<8> Mylon: of course not
<10> i want to patch my kernel with xen.. can anyone tell me how to go about? should i have to compile a new kernel ?
<9> iptables -A OUTPUT -d xx.xx.xx.0/24 -j DROP
<8> Mylon: it only handles GConf controlled configuration
<8> Mylon: it is not designed to .. nor is it meant to encomp*** ALL configuration for the system
<4> Heh... But I'm lazy. And I can't quite figure out how to quickly edit conf files. :)
<8> Mylon: only a subset of system configuration.. primarily Gnome configuration... is done through GConf
<8> Mylon: then you are lazy
<8> Mylon: doesnt change the fact
<7> somedude, I think you want -t OUTPUT.
<8> Mylon: that gconf-editor program is not designed... nor meant to do what yo uwant
<9> that just makes it say "no command specified"
<8> Mylon: fedora provides a series of commands that start system-config- for certain things
<11> anybody know where I can find information on the %{_includedir} style directives in RPM .spec files?
<7> somedude, what commands are you using?
<8> Mylon: system-config-boot for example handles some grub configuration i believe
<9> iptables -A OUTPUT -d xx.xx.xx.0/24 -j DROP
<7> somedude, -t OUTPUT OUTPUT isn't a part of -A.
<9> that just makes it say "no command specified"
<7> somedude, show me what command you are using.
<9> iptables -t OUTPUT -d xx.xx.xx.0/24 -j DROP
<9> according to the howtos ive looked at it shouldnt be so complicated
<9> i donno
<5> anyone here have a web server
<11> I admin them for a living.......y?
