Variable persistence between pre and post sections in kickstart

The pre-install is not inside a chroot environment, so whatever variables you set or export are only available for use outside of a chroot. And that’s the problem with the post install section, by default anyway.

Recover files when lsof wont help you

What if there’s no open file to be found, then what? If you were looking for some sort of media file, it might be easy to use a memory based distro with tools like photorec

Run Fedora 12 for PowerPC on Intel x86 with qemu-system-ppc

You’ve probably found an endless supply of URLs where people complain that they can’t get anything to boot with qemu-system-ppc and many supposed guides to follow that work. It’s almost impossible to find functional examples of how to run qemu-system-ppc without a kernel panic, core dump, or ending up in bios limbo. So here’s one way I came up with that works for me.

Remove files after svn add but before committing

Facebook status updates in your Gmail - Buzz

I just logged into my gmail to find “buzz”, a new feature integrated into my gmail. I’m not quite sure what to think of it. Other than google, I don’t think anyone wants status updates in their gmail, but perhaps I’m wrong? I’d rather see Wave integrated, once it stops hiccuping of course.

Breached password report reveals common password themes

Until now, only password surveys have been analyzed, and I knew the results would be almost useless when compared to a real dataset of passwords because who in their right mind would donate one of their own passwords, or anything like it, to a survey about password statistics?

Rpmbuild check-rpaths can break spec files

Rpmbuild’s RPATH feature is used to search libraries outside of standard paths. They are given to the linker at buildtime. If the developers of the code you’re trying to turn into an RPM did not take any of these considerations into account when they write their programs then you may be forced to skip check-rpath.

Disabled iBurst Wireless Tower Blamed for Health Problems

The Craigavon Task Forc, established shortly after an iBurst tower was built just north of Johannesburg in Fourways Memorial Park on 12 August 2009, has battled with iBurst to get the tower relocated elsewhere due to concerns over radiation from the tower causing a long list of health problems.
