Installing zoneminder on Fedora 10

Submitted by gill on

Install Fedora 10 (I used the Mauriat Miranda's Guide):
You may need to put /var on a separate file system. I ran out of inodes when my SQL database and event filters filled the file system of inodes before running out of space. I chose to create an xfs filesystem for /var (we'll see if that holds)
Zoneminder needs mySQL and Apache, so install them if you didn't during the F10 install; I also like phpMyAdmin:
yum -y install mysql-server httpd phpMyAdmin

My push mower is broken

Submitted by gill on

It's a Craftsman EZ^3 part number 917.376350
The carburetor needs a clean and/or rebuild, but which parts to order?
The engine is a Tecumseh, but which model? It's Sears model 143.976500 if that helps.
One site claims it's a VLV65-502506B (I think it's right).
I can't find any carb kits that look remotely correct. I guess I'll go take it apart and see what I can salvage.
