I agree with your in terms of the individual merits of their software in terms of evaluating software itself. For me the problem is their business practices with regards to their attempts to control software, hardware and similar IT markets to the detriment consumers and other suppliers within those markets.

You can't kill the audit trail in one fell swoop guys like me have nightmares about that ;) This might not be the solution you are looking for, but say after you reconcile your bank accounts to the end of the year, you could simply print off your trial balance and journal in the figures as opening balances for the next year in a new file, and archive the old one. Just a thought.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6236612.stm About time too, I was foaming at the mouth when the BBC announced their iPlayer, I pay my license fee just like everyone else, I should not be discriminated against because I choose not to support a monopoly that the govenrments of this world have allowed to happen.

That's not quite what I was getting at, or at least I don't think so. The apps in question already have a system tray icon, I was wondering whether there's a arguement, like a gnu switch or similar for gnome, that could force the application to minimise to the system tray.

Hey guys, not really specific to any distro, just gnome. I have a couple of programs that start up when I log in to gnome (transmission and pidgin), but ideally I would like them to go straight to the system tray, rather than see them in the immediate workspace. Anyone know how to do this (if possible) through gnome sessions, other than saving the last session? Gnome version is 2.18 with compiz 3.6, all running on Fedora 7 Cheers (and there's a for the first to answer)

Well done!

I wasn't aware of the method you shown, so I agree, you don't need apache :D (might try it out myself later )

I have both, but only use livna for kmod-ntfs, kmod-fglrx and livna-config-display, everything else comes from freshrpms. To keep things safe, I edit /etc/yum.repos.d/livna.repo (after you installed the repo.rpm) and set enabled to zero. Therefor I only use livna when I need it like so yum --enablerepo=livna install kmod-ntfs

This link may help you: http://tqmcube.com/repo.php From what I can see, createrepo only creates the headers, it will not configure yum for you, which will be obvious if you run ls /etc/yum.repos.d/ to which you will see that your newly created repo isn't there. In addition, I suspect that you may need to have apache running as well, and the repo in the right place.

Better get clicking then (j/k)

Neither of those provide a "live" environment running off the media, you need to Download Mandriva One in order to achieve that.

Although, lets be honest, it's not quite embracing the GUI philosophy of user friendliness.

Ooooh, papa's got a brand new toy to play with :bounce8:

I only use livna for kernel modules, it is always disabled in the repo file, and manually enabled by passing --enablerepo=livna as and when it's needed. As for the speed, to be honest, I don't find it to be that much faster than FC6, there is an improvement, but I haven't seen a significant difference.

There's no denying the truth!

Umm, I do/did :unsure:

Anyone installing this but not watching the fedora forum or bugzilla should be careful when enabling system sounds on gnome, as it basically breaks gnome :( but that's easily fixed by editing the following line in /etc/esd.conf default_options= changing it to: default_options=-nobeeps -unix -as 2

Ian, try bittorrent if you can, it only took me 4 hours, like I said above, I only have a 2 megabit connection,

It's as good as June now, but i'll post this anyway: Brand new Fedora 7 Desktop

Incidently, finally downloaded, quite impressed that it only took 4 hours (2Mb Down, 256Kb up) over bittorrent for the full i386 dvd (looks like it was well seeded), will install later though when i'm a break things mood

You should know me by now dexter, it is my belief that news about other distro's do not belong on the portal page of a Mandriva (ish) site, this is why I posted it here.

Without fail another Fedora release announcement that makes me laugh (for the right reasons).

Should be a good one, i'm hoping that the merge of repo's isn't too late in the process, but I have confidence in their developers ;) Give it a try I say, only you will know if it works for you, if it does, great, if it doesn't, it's not the end of the world.

I share the same opinion as Ian, don't expect an official update from Mandriva, that's not likely to happen, although they will probably backport any necessary security updates.
