[CooLMaN]

Hey,
I've got some problems has to be fixed, if someone can help me - it will be great .

1. I have sound, but i get a hissing sound from the left earphone. and its not the earphones ( checked with MS XP ) .

2. No Hebrew, Well yea I'm an Hebrew writer ( Israel ), and i installed Hebrew fonts now i can see Hebrew but i cannot write Hebrew, i tried using the" Start Here -> Regional and accessibility - > Keyboard Layout "
I "V" the "Enable Keyboard layouts" checkbox, i was going right ahead for the "Key Board model" Drop down, but i found out there is not even 1 Keyboard model to choose :eek: !

3. I installed Fedora from the "boot.iso" image ( using net install ), and i finished installing and now i wanna add packages, so without knowing too much i step forward and click : " System Settings - > Add/Remove Applications " then i added the applications i want, choose the button " Update " .. and without even noticing i see he is asking for the Fedora Cd's ! which i do not possest, So how can i make the Add/Remove feature install the applications from the net ?

4. My Computer is connected directly to the internet using a network card, i have a second network card ( eth1 ) who is connected to my sister computer, my sister computer has Windows XP Professional installed on him, how can i make my sister computer surf the net with out any problems?
( if i switch to XP right now, it will work like a charm )

I've got the same problem. My solution was to start alsamixer and mute all things till the odd sound disapeared. The problem for me was sth called IEC958. When I muted it, I never got this sound again.

If you use Gnome then there is a panel element to change the keyboard layout. I don't know it's English name, it should be something like keyboardindicator. You add it, through right-clicking on the panel with mouse then Add to the panel ---> Utility-->. It has a
Russian and another red flag as symbol. There you can add keyboard layout in the options.

The best thing is to use yum or apt to install applications from Web. Just forget about Add/Remove application. There is a plenty of information about it on the net e.g. http://fedoranews.org/tchung/howto/2003-11-09-yum-intro.shtml

There are different ways to make sth like that. I would install a proxy like squid (http://www.fedoratracker.org/tracker.py?mode=pkgSearchCommit&package.name_regex=1&package.name=squid&repo.version=2&package.arch=!src&repo.description=!unstable%20!bleeding%20!testing&actionID=6599&iteration=2) on your computer.

In KDE i've searched for a layout changer for keyboards, but I've never found it. But maybe there is one.
