[NMLUG] fedora basic questions.

[wlrobbi at gmail.com (w robbi)]

I have in the past few weeks moved two of my computers over to fedora core 
4. I ran into a few snags and was wondering if anyone would have some 
answers. 
 1. What is the proper way to stop X from loading at boot in fedora? How do 
I turn off X without rebooting on a fedora core 4 machine?
 2. SElinux is giving me problems when setting up ruby on rails. "CGI 
restrictions" What are the risks to just disabling SELINUX? I've read about 
hacks that enable ruby on rails for fedora. But those hacks seem to put the 
computer at a higher risk.
 3. Yum update has stopped functioning for me. I receive errors that one of 
the packages has failed to download. mikmod is what is happening now. Is 
this a common issue? Is there a way to update / reset yum to defaults to 
quickly get rid of the error?
