Well, that surely counts as 'old school' Dave! :)

I didn't realize I was so old, but I used RCS for the same task in the
past.  I've gone from cvs to svn to git in the intervening years.

yes, it is for an embedded application.

I know it isn't ideal but i wanted a full server package manager and
it is a one time use thing.  I am building a wireless access point+web
server that will run phpBB and will be powered by a solar panel. I
have a pc engines alix board w/ a 4 gig cf card  - i know writes are
an issue but it only needs to last a week.

I find evolution (which I am using right now) to be very buggy.  It has
been crashing several times per day, sometimes only minutes after being
started.  I have a fairly large number of messages now, 82,760 to be
exact which may have some effect on this.

I'd like to try out maildirs, which I used in the past, but can't find
the checkboxes.  I thought support for maildirs had been withdrawn a few
years ago.

Re: Conf File Backup Idea

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have a look at some of them and see
if I can figure something out.

I don't mind manually making lists of files as I start working with
them. What really prompted this was that I have some home automation
working really well on an old server I had. One power outtage that
lasted longer than 30 minutes while I was away from home, two hard
drives in the array went offline. I thought the whole server was lost
and last night I dusted it off and rooted around in the adaptec
interface and was able to force them both back online and bring the
array back up. I quickly copied off my heyu files but I got to
thinking if there was a way to automatically rsync files somewhere
when I edit them, it would make things simpler on a server I have no
need to completely back up, yet have some good info on it.

iDisk from Fedora?

I've got my iDisk mounted from Windows and it appears to be a simple 
webdav mounting. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3264

When I attempt to connect from Places as http webdav, I get Could not 
open location 'dav://xxxx <at> idisk.me.com/' Not a WebDAV enabled share

Has anyone figured this one out?

Heh.  Hell, when I say "80 column cards" and "8 inch floppies" I can
see people figuring how old I am.  I still carry a circular slide rule
in my case to flip out the kiddies.

Yeah, but cvs, svn and git are all heavyweight for this.  RCS is light.

So why not install from this?
How did you run it without a CD, incidentally?

I always use the last (Custom Install) option.
I have zero faith in Anaconda's partitioning.

Vonage phone service on a network with Fedora...

Hello Everyone
I have just (for now...) signed up for Vonage phone service.  My system as is
was BEFORE I connected the Vonage V-Portal Phone Adapter was like this:
Two Fedora Linux systems connected to a router that is connected to a cable
modem that is connected to the Comcast cable that comes out of my wall.  We do
NOT have any other services from Comcast other than cable internet.  No TV, No
Phone, just Internet.  I have a dynamic IP address.  But, like with many of us,
it almost never changes.

THEN I connected the Vonage V-Portal Phone Adapter like the instructions
specify.  In short, the adapter goes between the modem and the router.  Which I
am reasonably sure is the cause of my problems.

I discovered after I connected the Vonage device that the IP address
that I have
had with Comcast had changed for the first time in a REAL long time.  So, in an
attempt to fix my ability to access the mail server on my Fedora 8
system from my
new system (Fedora 11) I changed the IP address on dnsexit.com to match the new
one.  This did not in any way change my situation...  So I had an idea: I
disconnected the Vonage device, probably did a modem/router power cycle and
rebooted my PC's.  Guess What?  My IP address changed AGAIN!  Any guesses on
what it changed to?  The exact same IP address that I had before I
connected the
Vonage adapter...  I wasn't exactly too suprised when my email setup started to
work perfectly again.

So, my question is, has anyone with two or more Fedora/Linux systems on a local
network that is also running a mail server on one of the systems been able to
successfully connect the Vonage V-Portal Phone Adapter to their network and
