Fedora super-secret-project<\/em><\/strong>
\nSo, the wiki is setup<\/a>, and a big thank you to Seth for that. If you’re reading this and are mildly interested in promoting Fedora, increasing its usage, and get your hands dirty harnessing folk, the fedora-marketing-list<\/a> is a good place to hang out at. For the various brain dumps that Jack\/me have come up with, read the August<\/a> archives. We also have fedora-marketing<\/strong> in Bugzilla<\/a> to track “bugs” for the project – which will have to get a webpage and all the material from the brain dumps up to spec. There’s been no PR\/launch of this project yet, but let’s see if this “post” gets more folk on the list (with ideas, etc…)<\/p>\n

Fedora PPC update…<\/strong>
\nSo, if you’ve got some funky new G4, especially if its a laptop, the duke tree<\/a> will most likely not work for you. It needs some newer support for laptops<\/a> as well as some Branch Target ICache (BTIC)<\/a> disabling. Of course naturally, you’d only find out when folks are actually doing an install :P <\/p>\n

There might also be a bug in parted in that tree. “Attempt to read sectors 2-3 outside of partition on \/dev\/hda”. Bah. Can’t say if this will appear on all new laptops\/desktops, but its definitely a possible problem that one should be aware of. mac-fdisk is what needs to be used in that case (use it manually in a console, so when anaconda gets to it, its all magically there).<\/p>\n
