How to Convert MS Access Database to MySQL

MySQL Workbench (versions 5 and 6) contain a Migration Toolkit to convert external databases to MySQL, but Microsoft Access isn't an option.  However, it used to be an option in the predecessor tool: MySQL GUI Tools.  Fortunately, you can download an archived installer for MySQL GUI Tools here:

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html

With that, if you install MySQL GUI Tools (and install a 32-bit version of the Java JRE 6), if you start the MySQL Migration Toolkit, there is an option to convert from an Microsoft Access database.  I chose all of the default settings (except I asked for .sql scripts to be saved), and it converted fine.

How to change the default OS in grub on Fedora 16, Fedora 17, Fedora 18, and Fedora 19

See https://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/8885/how-can-i-change-default-operating-system-in-start-up-boot-menu/

Essentially, you will want to change the /etc/default/grub file and then perform the following:

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Why can't I click on the confirm box when encrypting a partition in the Fedora 18 or Fedora 19 installer (anaconda)?

If you are having trouble clicking or switching to the "confirm" box when typing in your passcode/password in the Fedora 18 or Fedora 19 installer, here's what you can do:

1. Ensure that your passcode is strong enough. Make sure that the red stop sign disappears.
2. Press "Tab" on the keyboard to switch to the "confirm" box.

That's it.
