Installed FC5 T3 and noted some problems (of course...)
+ Choosing a FULL installation, i.e. going beyond the defaults and
chosing ALL of the installation apps manually (note: there is no
"Everything" selection anymore.... sigh....) apparently caused
the installation process to abruptly stop somewhere in the middle
of installation disc #4 of 5
+ Re-installed FC5 T3 from scratch again, and choosing only the
defaults (i.e. the checkboxes given in the list only and do not
select Customization Now radio button) successfully installed
FC5, T3 - so I guess that is good.
+ When rebooting and expecting to setup the the configuration of the
newly installed FC5, T3 - some other issues of note apppears:
- udev appears to hold for a long time (1 - 2 minutes) before moving on
- Blackscreen appears for a bit longer than normal: 45s - 1 minute
- X windows finally starts up in 640 x 480 (or is it 800 x 600?) but then
an error appears switching back into console mode due to:
- Hardware check: /etc/rc5.d/S05Kudzu line 23: 1608 Segmentation Fault /sbin./kudzu $ARGS
- CUPS: takes a long time: 150 seconds before moving on.
X windows Setup now appears:
- NTP takes a long time to locate the NTP servers before allowing
swtiching to the next configuration page. Cannot tell if at setup
time if NTP queries are actually being done, if it is able to get out
of firewall security. I added some of my own ntp ip addresses and
got the same results. So I am not sure what is happening here.
Setup configuration completed.
Login in as a normal user
Everything appears to be normal - quite snazzy!
Problems:
- Cannot update the software - Software update tool fails
- Cannot add/remove software for the system - tool fails
- Cannot locate xterm so that I could see if I can manually execute YUM
So -- how can I startup an xterm so that I can update FC5 T3 with the latest updates?
Kind regards,
Dan
