[Avatraxiom]

Hey FedoraForum folks! We have another Unofficial FAQ Update (http://www.fedorafaq.org/) for you today! http://www.fedorafaq.org/ is where it's at! :-)

Here's what I've added and changed:

+ The German translation is complete!
+ A new Dutch translation!
+ A few more ways to get software in the #getsoftware question.
+ Another fix for the Radeon question. It should work for *everybody*, now!
+ A new question: "How can I watch movies in my web browser?"
+ A simpler way of getting Wine to work for some people.

Let me know what you think! You can email me directly at max [At] fedorafaq {{dot}} org.

If you want to contribute, check out http://www.fedorafaq.org/contribute/ for details!

there is a difference. In German German is Deutsch. And this a different, but a very related language. I live near to Holland and it is possible to understand Dutch, if you know Deutsch ;)

Yeah, in Germany they speak German. In Holland they speak Dutch. :-) The names of languages in English can be confusing. :-)

umm, perhaps this should have gone on the other "updated fedorafaq" post, but i must say thank you to all who are involved, if for nothing else than the wonderful info on installing the ATI drivers. I had tried off and on for about a month to get them to work correctly, to no avail. After flip-flopping on the issue of trying again, i decided to give it another try and, low and behold!, it worked wonderfully.....now to make a comment on that.... i think it worked correctly because one of the instructions was to rmmod the radeon driver prior to installing the new driver. one comment on the faq though....as per the instructions if you rmmod radeon while still in X, it returns an error stating that the module is still in use. perhaps im incorrect, but should not the instructions say to telinit 3 before rmmod-ing the radeon driver?

just a thought....thanks again

Not really. I can make myself MISUNDERSTOOD, almost anywhere in the English speaking world. :D

Hrm... they don't say that? Well, they should. Write me an email: http://www.fedorafaq.org/#contact

Oh, and thanks for all the nice things you said! I'm glad the FAQ has been helpful.
