Notes

Tweaks

To resolve tls issues, issued the following commands (*):
- cp /lib/i686/nosegneg/lib* /lib/i686/
- ldconfig
/sbin/hwclock has been replaced with “empty” shell script
edited /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit to remove problematic sections
udev has been disabled

(*) The "nosegneg" libraries are actually a part of the standard i686 rpm 
in fc6; the two commands above make the dynamic linker use them 
instead of the libc directly under /lib.  

An alternative to the tweak above is to use the following commands:
  # echo "hwcap 0 nosegneg" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc6-xen.conf
  # ldconfig
This alternative did not work in the jailtime image however.

Networking

The main config file is /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
See also /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts, /etc/sysconfig/network

Comments for Fedora Core 6:

I think is good idea to have by default SELINUX=disabled in /etc/selinux/config
