    Any Fedora users?

    Probably the wrong place to ask, but how do I get Fedora to recognize my first physical hard drive? I have it installed on the second, but I would like to access my Windows 2000 stuff on hda. Doesn't appear in the /mnt directory, or the /media directory, but my DVD, CD-RW and Compactflash...

    Nationstates

    Inverter + TV

    Okay. So the question is, will a 24V DC - 230V ~ inverter cause interference with a tv? What I've been looking at is a modified sine wave inverter, for a 14" television, and freeview box. Question is, will the TV run well on modified sine wave, are inverters likely to generate interference...

    Do I just not get the tories here?

    Michael Howard first of all expressed his thanks to britain, stating how he owes his life to this country. He mentions that his grandmother was a victim of the holocaust. Then he attacks asylum and immigration. One rule for himself, another for everyone. Typical flipflopper. If it suits...

    FreeDOS

    I am thinking of setting up a FreeDOS machine to play some old games. Question is, would you reccomend it? I tried it a few years back, and it was extremely unreliable. Is it any better now?

    Electric shock off aerial coax

    We have an amplifier, that connects the Skydigital box, the SVHS machine and the aerial to a TV upstairs, recently I was changing the VCR up their and I got a small shock off the coax. My thought is that it is somehow causing an induction from nearby mains cables, or somehow carrying a...

    Teletop Aerial... how to do the base thing...

    Probably a long shot asking here, but I thought some of you may know more about the properties of UHF, how aerials work etc.... I have one of those Teletop aerials, it was actually quite amazing when I first got it, brilliant picture, however, the problem with them is, if one tugs on the...

    Motherboard & CPU upgrade woes

    Okay, So I've been trying to upgrade my Brother's PC, but to little avail. I fitted the new motherboard, processor, and RAM according to instructions, but when I switch it on, the standby light comes on as usual, and all the fans go 'round, including the one for the AGP card, but it doesn't...

    TN-S?

    While I have not yet done anything that requires me to know my supply type, It would be good to know for the future... I had always thought it to be TN-CS because the earth connection is made on the supply head rather than the protective sheathing of the supply cable. However, the supply cable...

    Plugs hot to the touch...

    I have an oil-filled radiator that draws 11 amps maximum. It is controlled by an X10 appliance controller, yet yesterday I noticed that the plugtop was quite warm. The x10 unit wasn't too warm, and the plug for the four way extension lead it was plugged into was only a little warm, nowhere...

    Shed Prices...

    What's the deal with Shed Prices? Today I was in B&Q... the Wylex MCBs were about £1.30 more expensive than the MKs of the same type... Not exactly what I'd call price reflecting the product. Perhaps it was a service charge for the convenience of the Wylexes being at an easy to reach level...

    The question is: On what type of circuit can I install a 15 amp socket? Is it allowable and satisfactory to just add it on to the existing ring main?
