Linux few problems with FCore 3

[POLYGON]

I installed FC3 but soon came to know there's no mp3 component(decoder) along with distro

One more problem I had downloaded RAR for linux how to install it no technical file in the downloaded archive

Last problem how to configure Apache server on FC3

FC doesnt support mp3..because they think its illegal..though u can download codecs

I know you prolly already have it wid FC#. But try this one. Codecs included.

because they think its illegal.

Nothing like that. They just don't want to have to pay license fees.. patent owners asked them to pay up.

hmmm...i shud do that after installing FC3?

actuaaly, slack is detecting NTFS, but read only. and sound doesnt come in slack.....

NTFS is read only in ALL linux.

There is a way to do write as ferrari once posted..

involves the use of WINE + ntdll.dll I think.
