Fedora 8 and installation from CD/DVD

As it becomes a routine, I have replaced Moonshine (Fedora 7) by Loup Garou (Wereworf in French) that is Fedora 8 after backing up all the essential data such as email, specs and artwork for echo-icon-theme and the incoming Fedora 9. All system was succesfully detected.

One particular feature I have noticed on Fedora 8 is the long awaited ability to install package from either CD and DVD. That is a major welcome addition for people who still have a narrowband connection. See the image showing InstallMedia as access point from optical drive or possibly USB.

Un point particulier de Fedora 8 est l'habileté d'installer un paquetage à partir d'un disque compact or un DVD. Ceci est une excellente addition bien attendu des utilisateurs n'ayant pas de connexion à large bande. Voyez l'image ci-dessous ou InstallMedia est coche indiquant l'accès des lecteurs optiques ou possiblement USB.

Glad to see people appreciating it. Unfortunately, it took way too long to land the code just due to not enough round 'tuits :(

gnome-shell useless with nouveau driver

Running rawhide 20090924 from desktop system , I test gnome-shell to explore its features (seems Activities name is inspired from Sugar interface . Very disappointing because the shell needs hardware acceleration i.e 3D support. Even Sugar interface did a much better job despite its simple look. Picture speaks itself.

No network on Fedora 9 x86_64 follow up

Following my post related to NetworkManager . I have found out about the workaround. If you have x86_64 system with 4GB support enabled, you should disable it in order to make NetworkManager work. I am not sure if that bug affects other distributions so, possibly the bug may be related to the x86_64 kernel. Let see if my theory can be verified.
