system-config-packages. These applications are built on the yum utility to provide consistent software installation and update facilities throughout the system.
java-gcj-compat include Azureus, a BitTorrent client, and RSSOwl, a RSS feed reader, now available in Fedora Extras.
libnotify, a library that features simple and attractive notifications for the desktop.
gnome-mount, a more efficient mechanism that replaces fstab-sync, and uses HAL to handle mounting.
hplip utility, which replaces hpijs.
gnome-applet-vm, which provides a simple virtual domains monitor applet, and libvirt (http://libvirt.org/), a library providing an API to use Xen virtualization capabilities.
anaconda installation system continues to evolve. New features for this release include remote logging and improved support for tracebacks. Package management in the installation system is now provided by yum. This enhancement is the first step in enabling access to Fedora Extras from within the installation process.
GCJ, such as the Geronimo J2EE server and the Apache Jakarta Project, in addition to the Java programs and development capabilities in the previous releases.
system-config-cluster, a utility that allows you to manage cluster configuration in a graphical setting.
iscsi-initiator-utils, iSCSI daemon and utility programs that provide support for hardware using the iSCSI interface.
fedora-release now includes the software repositories for debuginfo packages and source rpm packages.
fedora-release now includes the software repositories for Fedora Legacy community maintenance project. (disabled by default)
pcmcia-cs package using the cardmgr/pcmcia service has been replaced with a new pcmciautils package. With pcmciautils, PCMCIA devices are handled directly and dynamically by the hotplug and udev subsystems. This update increases both efficiency and performance of the system. For more information about these changes, refer to http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/pcmcia/pcmcia.html.
udev provides a new linking for device names that includes the physical name of the device. For example, if your CD-ROM is /dev/hdc, it gets symlinked to the friendly name /dev/cdrom-hdc. If you have additional matching devices, the same rule applies, so /dev/hdd is symlinked to /dev/cdrom-hdd. This is true for /dev/scanner, /dev/floppy, /dev/changer, and so forth.
/dev/cdrom is also created, and udev assigns it randomly to one of the /dev/cdrom-hdX devices. This random assignment usually sticks, but in some configurations the symlink may change on boot to a different device. This does not affect CD burning applications, but some CD player applications such as kscd may be affected. If you wish, you can set your CD player application to point at a specific CD-ROM device, such as /dev/cdrom-hdc. This situation only occurs if you have more than one of a type of device.
wget 1.9.1-16 and above, curl and ncftpget do not have this limitation, and can successfully download files larger than 2GB. BitTorrent is another method for downloading large files. For information about obtaining and using the torrent file, refer to http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/
linux mediacheck at the boot: prompt.

No symptoms arise, since the primary disk is reading and writing to itself. But if you attempt to re-establish the mirror without first synchronizing the disks, you could corrupt the data and have to reinstall from scratch without a chance for recovery.

dmraid , you may combine drives into RAID arrays by configuring Linux software RAID. For supported controllers, configure the RAID functions in the computer BIOS.
/etc , /home , and possibly /opt and /usr/local if customized packages are installed there. You may wish to use a multi-boot approach with a "clone" of the old installation on alternate partition(s) as a fallback. In that case, creating alternate boot media such as GRUB boot floppy.
/etc are also useful in reconstructing system settings after a fresh installation.

/Fedora/base/stage2.img on Installation Disc 1 plus the size of the files in /var/lib/rpm on the installed system.
rpm -qa might appear to include duplicate packages, since the architecture is not displayed. Instead, use the repoquery command, part of the yum-utils package in Fedora Extras, which displays architecture by default. To install yum-utils, run the following command:
su -c 'yum install yum-utils'
rpm, run the following command:
rpm -qa --queryformat "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n"
/etc/rpm/macros (for a system wide setting) or ~/.rpmmacros (for a per-user setting). It changes the default query to list the architecture:
%_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}
coreutils package now follows the POSIX standard version 200112. This change in behavior might affect scripts and command arguments that were previously deprecated. For example, if you have a newer system but are running software that assumes an older version of POSIX and uses sort +1 or tail +10, you can work around any compatibility problems by setting _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 in your environment. Refer to the section on standards in the coreutils info manual for more information on this. You can run the following command to read this information.

yum plugin written by Red Hat developers is provided by default within the yum package which only retains the latest two kernels in addition to the one being installed when you perform updates on your system. This feature can be fine tuned to retain more or less kernels or disabled entirely through the /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/installonlyn.conf file. There are other plugins and utilities available as part of yum-utils package in Fedora Extras software repository. You can install them using the following command.
yum install yum-utils
yum is now configured to remove headers and packages downloaded after a successful install to reduce the ongoing disk space requirements of updating a Fedora system. Most users have little or no need for the packages once they have been installed on the system. For cases where you wish to preserve the headers and packages (for example, if you share your /var/cache/yum directory between multiple machines), modify the keepcache option to 1 in /etc/yum.conf.
udev method now handles all module loading, both on system boot and for hotplugged devices. The hotplug package has been removed, as it is no longer needed.
/etc/hotplug, /etc/hotplug.d, and /etc/dev.d directories is deprecated, and may be removed in a future Fedora Core release. These helpers should be converted to udev rules. Please see http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html for examples.
mlocate Has Replaced slocatemlocate package provides the implementations of /usr/bin/locate and /usr/bin/updatedb. Previous Fedora releases included the slocate versions of these programs.
locate command should be completely compatible.
/etc/updatedb.conf is compatible.
slocate would not detect are now reported.
DAILY_UPDATE variable is not supported.
updatedb command is not compatible, and custom scripts that use updatedb may have to be updated.
system-config-mouse configuration utility has been dropped in this release because synaptic and three-button mouse configuration is handled automatically. Serial mice are no longer supported.
up2date and rhn-applet packages have been removed from Fedora Core 5. Users are encouraged to use the yum tool from the command line, and the Pirut software manager and Pup update tool from the desktop.
Network Manager to automatically detect, select, and configure wired and wireless network connections. Wireless network devices may require third-party software or manual configuration to activate after the installation process completes. For this reason, Fedora Core provides Network Manager as an optional component.
Network Manager.
dovecot IMAP server software, which has many changes in its configuration file. These changes are of particular importance to users upgrading from a previous release. Refer to http://wiki.dovecot.org/UpgradingDovecot for more information on the changes.
kudzu utility, libkudzu library, and /etc/sysconfig/hwconf hardware listing are all deprecated, and will be removed in a future release of Fedora Core. Applications which need to probe for available hardware should be ported to use the HAL library. More information on HAL is available at http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/hal.
fstab-sync facility has been removed. In Fedora Core , the fstab-sync program is removed in favor of desktop specific solutions for mounting removable media. Entries for hotplug devices or inserted media are no longer automatically added to the /etc/fstab file. Command-line users may migrate to gnome-mount, which provides similar functionality.

mozilla-devel, however it will be removed in a future release of Fedora Core.
libstdc++so7 package has been added. This package contains a preview of the GNU Standard C++ Library from libstdcxx_so_7-branch. It is considered experimental and unsupported. Do not build any production software against it, as its ABI and so-version will change in future upgrades. To build software using this library, invoke g++-libstdc++so_7 instead of g++.

-fstack-protector, which places a canary value on the stack of functions containing a local character array. Before returning from a protected function, the canary value is verified. If there was a buffer overflow, the canary will no longer match the expected value, aborting the program. The canary value is random each time the application is started, making remote exploitation very difficult. The stack protector feature does not protect against heap-based buffer overflows.

wpa_supplicant), and WPA-Enteprise. It has a new wireless security layer. The VPN and dial up support has been enhanced. Applications such as Evolution now integrate with NetworkManager to provide dynamic networking capabilities. NetworkManager is disabled by default in Fedora as it is not yet suitable for certain configurations, such as system-wide static IPs, bonding devices, or starting a wireless network connection before login.
ip tool from the iproute package now issues a warning if no prefix length is provided, to warn about possible unintended deletions:
ip addr list dev eth0 4: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000 inet 10.0.0.3/24 scope global eth0
su -c 'ip addr del 10.0.0.3 dev eth0'
Warning: Executing wildcard deletion to stay compatible with old
scripts. Explicitly specify the prefix length (10.0.0.3/32) to
avoid this warning. This special behaviour is likely to disappear
in further releases, fix your scripts!

NO-CARRIER now appears as a link flag if the link is administratively up but no carrier can be found.
ip command now supports a batch mode via the argument -batch, which works similar to the tc command to speed up batches of tasks.
sysctl key net.ipv4.conf.all.promote_secondaries, or one of the interface specific variants, you can change this behavior to promote one of the secondary addresses to be the new primary address.
sysctl key net.ipv4.icmp_errors_use_inbound_ifaddr. If you enable this option the kernel uses the address of the interface that received the original error-causing packet.
eth0 which generates an ICMP error, and the routing table causes the error message to be generated on interface eth1. If the new sysctl option is enabled, the ICMP error message indicates the source address as interface eth0, instead of the default eth1. This feature may ease network debugging in asynchronous routing setups.

imake to the GNU autotools collection.
pkgconfig *.pc files, which should now always be used by software that depends on these libraries, instead of hard coding paths to them in /usr/X11R6/lib or elsewhere.
/usr instead of /usr/X11R6. All software that hard codes paths to anything in /usr/X11R6 must now be changed, preferably to dynamically detect the proper location of the object. Developers are strongly advised against hard-coding the new X11R7 default paths.
-devel subpackage.
/usr directly now, and no longer use the /usr/X11R6/ hierarchy. Applications that rely on files being present at fixed paths under /usr/X11R6/, either at compile time or run time, must be updated. They should now use the system PATH, or some other mechanism to dynamically determine where the files reside, or alternatively to hard code the new locations, possibly with fallbacks.
imake xutility is no longer used to build the X Window System, and is now officially deprecated. X11R7 includes imake, xmkmf, and other build utilities previously supplied by the X Window System. X.Org highly recommends, however, that people migrate from imake to use GNU autotools and pkg-config. Support for imake may be removed in a future X Window System release, so developers are strongly encouraged to transition away from it, and not use it for any new software projects.
app-defaults/ directory for X resources is now %{_datadir}/X11/app-defaults, which expands to /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/ on Fedora Core and for future Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems.
Build Requires: (XFree86-devel|xorg-x11-devel) to satisfy build dependencies must now individually list each library dependency. The preferred and recommended method is to use virtual build dependencies instead of hard coding the library package names of the xorg implementation. This means you should use Build Requires: libXft-devel instead of Build Requires: xorg-x11-Xft-devel. If your software truly does depend on the X.Org X11 implementation of a specific library, and there is no other clean or safe way to state the dependency, then use the xorg-x11-devel form. If you use the virtual provides/requires mechanism, you will avoid inconvenience if the libraries move to another location in the future.
autotools and pkg-config for its buildsystem configuration and execution. The xft-config utility has been deprecated for some time, and pkgconfig *.pc files have been provided for most of this time. Applications that previously used xft-config to obtain the Cflags or libs build options must now be updated to use pkg-config.
