Thanks James for answering this question. I thought
that the message was lost/not important enought to be
answered. I must be honest and let you know that I
need to install FC5 as this happens on FC5T2 with some
updates not all are possible since this machine is on
dialup.
[tonio at localhost ~]$ ps -ef | grep xfs
xfs 2094 1 0 20:14 ? 00:00:01 xfs
-droppriv -daemon
tonio 3177 3156 0 20:44 pts/2 00:00:00 grep
xfs
[tonio at localhost ~]$ rpm -qa xorg-x11-fonts*
xorg-x11-fonts-base-1.0.0-2
[tonio at localhost ~]$ rpm -qa bitmap-fonts*
bitmap-fonts-0.3-5.1
[tonio at localhost ~]$ rpm -qa urw-fonts*
urw-fonts-2.3-6.1
[tonio at localhost ~]$ rpm -qa ghostscript-fonts*
ghostscript-fonts-5.50-13.1
[tonio at localhost ~]$ rpm -qa bitstream-vera-fonts*
bitstream-vera-fonts-1.10-5.1
[tonio at localhost ~]$
I did not test everything as I should have done, I
forgot about display, convert, and other stuff with
other programs. I updated the kernel and tried to get
slmodemd, to work with the fedora test kernels for
which none worked after the initial kernel that FC5T2
came with
(
[tonio at localhost ~]$ uname -r
2.6.15-1.1826.2.10_FC5
). I need to update this machine to FC5 or test it
with another since I am happy with the way it runs
despite not having it fully updated.
Regards,
Antonio
