!! Why does Gaim not connect to the Jabber server in FedoraCore 2?%%%
-Gaim has (
had?)
a bug where it wouldn't fall back to IPv4 when it cannot connect to a jabber server on IPv6. This has been fixed in recent [CVS] versions. See the [bug report|https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100235&aid=960536&group_id=235]
+The initial version of
Gaim packaged in FC2
had a bug where it wouldn't fall back to IPv4 when it cannot connect to a jabber server on IPv6.

+This was fixed in version .77? of Gaim and the latest Fedora Core packages.

!! Why is my networking slow in FedoraCore 2?%%%
+Probably because you have IPv6 enabled but your IPv6 routing is broken.

!! How do I disable IPv6 in FedoraCore 2?%%%
* You probably want to disable IPv6 in FedoraCore 2.

!! NTFS support?
Disabled by Red Hat for patent reasons; get [pre-compiled NTFS kernel RPMS for Fedora|http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/rpm/fedora2.html] here.
+!! Which Repositories Should I Use?
+An excellent question! It appears that selecting a good set of repositories to use with FC2 is a little bit of an art. If you just use the standard FC2 repository then you will be missing things such as mp3 support and many other "good" things that have patents restricting their distribution inside the US. However if you start adding external repositories willy nilly to your system you can end up in all sorts of trouble with conflicting versions of packages.
+
+The best combination that I have come up with is
+* download.fedora.us
+* atrpms
+* dag
+* freshrpms
+* newrpms
+
+I think you can safely live without fedora.us. I use apt for my package management, although I still use yum through the RHN applet to keep up to date with newly released packages from RedHat.
