  1. Can anyone tell me where I can get a sound recorder for GNU/Linux. I need one that can record sound that is played on my PC. Cos I listen to Internet radio and sometimes I wanna record songs or when I play videos and I wanna record the audio. I already have Sound Recorder but it doesn't seem to do the job.


  2. I'm intending to switch over to Fedora Core 4 from FC3 so I got a portable hard disk to backup my 5 GB+ worth of files and documents. I was worried that my portable HDD wouldn't work but was really relieved when I plugged it in yesterday and it auto-mounted like a flash drive. However, this morning I upgraded to the 2.6.11-1.35 kernel and now the portable HDD won't auto-mount. When I tried to manual mount, I got a msg saying " fat32 is not supported by kernel" or something like that. I tried to us my old kernel but it wouldn't boot up. Got an error msg "kernel panic".Can anyone help me out here? I really need my HDD to backup.


  3. You still need to go to init 3 to do the install. What I was asking was whether any additional hacking is required to get the driver working other than the regular install steps.

     

    Urm. Pardon me for saying this but what makes Debian so good? I like Debian for it's Free Software guidelines and their non-commercial approach but in what way is it better than other distros like Fedora?


  4. How bout the nvidia driver? I've read some installation guides and apparently installing nvidia drivers in FC4 involves some modprobing and chown. Has anyone tried installing nvidia drivers in FC4 yet?


  5. I've just downloaded and burned FC4 onto cds and before upgrading from FC3 to 4, I wanna ask if anyone here has installed FC4 and tried it out. Are there any problems with it? I remember that FC3 sucked quite badly when it first came out and has problems with alot of things like udev and the nvidia drivers.
