Fix small fonts in NX

1st November 2011
I've just installed the NX server and client and on the remote server the fonts are too small; here's how to fix it - run this on the remote host:
echo "Xft.dpi:96" >> ~/.Xresources

Now disconnect and reconnect.

You have not created a bootloader stage1 target device

27th November 2011
I was getting the error in the title when trying to create a custom partitioning layout in Fedora 16. Apparently it needs this partition to boot off GPT labelled disks.
What you need to do is simply create a 1 MB "BIOS Boot" partition at the beginning then continue with your desired layout. I hope Anaconda people will be able to make this error message more meaningful as all this GPT stuff is rather new for a lot of users. Ta ta
