[CS-FSLUG] Fedora core 1

[N. Thompson]

I've been using Fedora core 1 for a few hours and I have no major complaints 
so far, I had some fun manually configuring the mount points so they could be 
mounted by ordinary users and I even added my usb disk to /etc/fstab without 
any trouble. I've also managed to configure KDE more or less to my liking.

I've got my printers working, I've got KDE configured to my liking, I've got 
no problem with the current GTK theme and if it does become a problem I could 
probably figure out how to change it. I've got apt installed and it worked 
right away, I've also got mplayer, xine and I'm going to be working on 
getting KMplayer from source unless there does turn out to be an RPM for it.

Overall I'm fairly happy with Fedora, I've found its missing a few KDE 
applications and the menu has left them out or put them in the wrong submenu 
but I've reorganised it to my liking.

The only problem I'm having now is getting sound to work, aside from that 
everything else is fine, perhaps one of the other Fedora Core users would 
have some idea of when Fedora Core 2 will be released and what mediums of 
updating will be available. I'd also appreciate any tips on how to get my 
sound working without using the driver supplied on my mainboard CD, those 
default to having the sound turned all the way down and I don't think FC has 
alsamixer (KMix won't realize the volume is off usually) unless I can get it 
through apt.
