Hi,
Anyone on here using Charter Telephone VOIP service? I've currently
got Verizon, but the wife hates it because our phone lines get flaky
all the time, esp when it rains.
So I'm thinking to save money and combine all my stuff onto Charter.
I've already got High Speed internet and regular old cable. Not wild
about Digital Cable since I'm happy with Tivo and I don't want yet
another set top box to have to deal with...
So, any horror stories about Charter Phone VOIP quality and service?
Thanks,
John
Thanks for listening. Thanks for the sympathy.
I had Fedora Core 4 on a machine with a powerless power supply. I added
that 30G hard drive to the 150G on this machine and booted from it. Low
and Behold. CUPS works. SAMBA works. Will wonders never cease... I
even get to choose between GNOME and KDE.
Ken
Hello,

I think you have a VERY Linux compatible printer. There are also some command line instructions that would make the printer show up in the list of available printers if you click on installation instructions for ppd.

Evidently FEDORA CORE 6 CUPS predates my BROTHER HL-5340D black and
white laser printer. Even though it does not include this BROTHER model
in its list, CUPS claims it sees the printer and that it turned the
printer on. The printer fails the test page. All my documentation is
out of date. SAMBA does not work. So much for my LINUX Antique Road
Show. I'm going to do a bit of computer hardware upgrading..
You actually don't want samba, that would help you serve printers. You want
CUPS. Cups helpsyou serve and use printers. Rememberthe URL I sent you
that started with archive? Have you tried that as a repo? Something like:
baseurl=
http://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/
or
baseurl=
http://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/…
Also, give some better background with questions you ask, it will help
people help you.

I've got Fedora Core 6 Evolution working so I can cut and paste.
I tried to use the "retrieve update information" tool. I think
everything is WAY out of date. The update tool said.
"Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: extras"
I can't find one either. I checked the fedora-core.repo file:
$ more fedora-core.repo
[core]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$ba
search/os/
I went there and got.
The requested URL no longer exists....
URL /pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$bahttp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/$releasever/$basearch/os/ was not found on this server.
All I want is SAMBA to work so I can interact with the my WINDOWS
machines - particularly the one with the BROTHER printer attached.

*If that is an older machine with that little RAM, it will probably be more
expensive to jack it up than it would be for a newer machine. I tried to go
that route this past year and the cost of jacking up RAM on an older box was
just prohibitive.*
*

*I just got a Lenovo IdeaPad that came with 1GB of RAM and adding another
gig is twelve bucks. 250GB hard drive and it had Windows 7 "Starter
Edition" on it which I didn't even allow to boot up and immediately put
Fedora 15 on that puppy. Sweet. With LXDE. *

I have successfully installed Fedora 6 Core. I included 'programming' services. It said that it would install SAMBA. It did not. System Services mentions the need for xinetd. 'Locate' finds 'xinetd' but it does not seem to run. smbd and nmbd are nowhere to be found. Sigh.....
My machine only has 256M ram memory. The higher numbered FEDORA packages ask for more ram. I have a 'good' and never before used set of Fedora 6 .iso CD-ROMs.
Red Hat and Fedora have gone their separate ways.
I just found http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Core/6/html/Installation_Guide/i….
Looks promising. Little did I know how much has changed..... Constructive suggestions would be appreciated. Maybe I should jump to CORE 13 or so......
