Fedora Core 4

iamroot

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.

Linux in an AD domain

mjstone03

I'm interesting in using a linux machine to run in parallel with the windows machines in an active directory domain. I guess my question is, is it possible? How would you enable a Linux DNS server to replicate to the DC running DNS as a Primary Zone (not AD integrated).

rkircher

Does anyone know of a Linux command that recursively determines the total diskspace consumed by a directory including all it's contents of sub-directories and files? I cannot find the correct options to use with tree or du commands so they work like the treesize.

Mount: only root can do that

rkircher

I'm using SuSE 9. 0 and cannot mount a USB Flash Memory (thumb drive) from a console using using the command: mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /media/sda1. This command works fine as a root user. All my directories are owned by me (not root) with full privledges and I've got the owner set to 'user' in /etc/fstab.
