Getting to a shell window: On your gnome menu: activate Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal Window Drivers: What kind of driver are you installing? I'd first find out if there is a prebuild driver available. If not and you want to compile yourself, the first think you need to do is install the kernel development package which you can do via yum: $ yum install kernel-devel or $ yum install kernel-smp-devel depending on which kernel flavor you are running. Once the kernel devel is installed, you should be able to compile your driver according to its instructs. If the package includes a spec file, I like to build an rpm and install that. We want to compile rpms in user space, not as root so we'll install the rpmdevtools: # as root $ yum install rpmdevtools # as yourself $ fedora-buildrpmtree This is will create ~/rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS} Now you can run rpmbuild and then install the rpm that will saved in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/$arch If the driver source doesn't have a spec file, it should include a readme file telling you how to compile it (usually something like ./configure && make && make install) -- Kathryn http://womensfooty.com From sawkal at gmail.com Mon Sep 11 09:49:16 2006 From: sawkal at gmail.com (Diana Asnani) Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2006 17:49:16 +0800 Subject: [Fedora Women] Another Fedora user ! Message-ID: <83881efe0609110249l75cc4335h438f3d834dd02490@mail.gmail.com> Hi, My name is Diana Asnani and i have been using Fedora for a few years now. I am still in dual-boot though ;-) I have found that applications such as KRecipes, Gourmet and the like are great for women. Maybe these sort of applications and some others could motivate more women to use Fedora. Just a thought !

But at this point, I'm thinking the Fedora Women Project might be best as a brief side bar. There are lots of women doing things with and for Fedora, but like women all over the world we're ususally busy doing too much. ~Karlie Anna Marcinkiewicz wrote: > Hallo Karlie, > well, in an article you can also write about the idea of the project, if there > is not a lot of history to write about... > Would you be interested in writing something for us?
