I am just looking into this and from what I understand you have to
install grub on the second disk in a way where it thinks it is the
first disk. you do this with the device command:

device (hd0) /dev/sdb #make grub think hd0 is sdb rather than sda
root (hd0,x) # where x is the your systems root partition on hd0
(which is sdb now)
setup (hd0) # setup grub in hd0 (which is sdb now)

What I can't seem to do is get my RAID1 set to boot in the first
place. I tried to install F7test3 using the SiI 3112 controller (and
consequently dmraid) but it doesn't boot.
So I deleted the RAID set in the RAID BIOS and treated them as
separate drives and the installer says that my platform is unsupported
when I click the Software RAID button in the partitioning step. Has

That sort of thing is usually down to user-un-friendly webmasters doing
annoying things in their authoring.

That shouldn't happen, I'd report that as a bug.  Just for curiosity's
sake, do you get the same thing happening if you close this extra window
when using the ALT & F4 hotkeys to close a window?  (Make sure the right
window is active, first.)

Go back into this thread to my posting before that one, and see the two
custom files of mine.  That lan.conf is something I put in there,
myself.  The reason being that modifying original files can cause you
problems when you update bind.  Your modifications may disappear.
Writing them externally means that the most you have to do to get them
back is insert an include line, rather than redo all the other things
you did.

With the current version of BIND, it looks like it doesn't come with the
default named.conf file, and will start off using the other ones it
comes with, if it doesn't find one.  I put in a named.conf file, and
make it refer to the other files (with an include).

Yes, it's acting as a stand-alone name server.  Probably the best way to
use it, for simplicity's sake.

I wouldn't bother, nor would I recommend changing named.conf all the
time.  If you really wanted, you could play with adding forwarders to
your configuration file, either to always be used for looking up
external addresses, or for when it can't find an answer by itself.

No, it's definitely a bug related to Fedora's patching of Firefox.  I was 
getting the same thing, but only with the Fedora package version of Firefox; 
when I installed the official version from mozilla.com, the problem went 
away.  It's definitely something that Firefox is doing, because most of the 
links I hit it with didn't have target or javascript information at all; they 
were generic links, which should open up in the same tab.

Yeah, I hit the same problem.  According to KDE, there is only ONE Firefox 
window (the odd one it spawns is simply has the "no character" character in 
the titlebar), and trying to close it causes Firefox to close.  If I hit any 
link in the window, it goes away and Firefox acts as if no new window was 
opened.

Here's an odd one for you; I was using Session Saver, and when I restored my

Kpilot is/will-be in F7. (It's just that kdepim >= 3.5.6 requires
pilot-link >= 0.12 for kpilot support).
