Fedora Help Forum Feeds

Aggregated from FedoraForum.org and LinuxQuestions.org

The following threads are from LinuxQuestions.org and FedoraForum.org. They are useful to get some help related to Linux or Fedora Core. I personally recommend LinuxQuestions over FedoraForum. However, it is in your best interest to use both.

In Fc5 I kept a serial console available on my servers so they could run headless (or not have to use the KVM). Without forcing the console to be ONlY on the serial port, my inittab used to have this:

# Allow serial console
