Hard disk installation Fedora 7 full process

The installation is complete. After removing the CD and floppy disk, click “Exit” and the system will restart. After rebooting, the boot selection menu will appear for the first time.

The process of installing fedora7 on the hard disk:

1. Download the fedo7 dvd iso image file on the c drive; at the same time copy the ISO/isolinux vmlinuz and initrd.img to the c drive root.

2. Download the good Grub for Dos (rar file) on the c drive, put the grldr and grub.exe in the decompressed directory under the root of the c drive;

3. Configure the startup file, right click on my computer -> Advanced -> (Startup and Recovery) Settings -> Edit

Add in boot.ini

c:grldr="FC7"

4. Add after bootgrubmenu.lst

title Install-Fedora Core 7

root (hd0,0)

kernel /isolinux/vmlinuz

initrd /isolinux/initrd.img

Here hd0 of (hd0,0) is the first hard disk, 0 is the c disk.

5. After rebooting, select Install-Fedora Core 7 in the os selection bar.

The input in the command line mode is as follows:

grub>kernel hd(0,0)/vmlinuz

grub>initrd hd(0,0)/initrd.img

grub>boot

6. Then in Boot the installation, then ask the installation source in cdrom, nfs, ftp, hard disk, etc. Select sda1 (the first primary partition, because the iso file is here).

7. Then install from this iso file , the future is automatic.

1.Installation points

Installation basically does not have much problem, but there are a few points to note:

A, Install the apache mysql php environment according to your personal needs

B, select the development library and development tools

C, select the X development library (this is required when installing the input method later) Use))

D, the default virtualization does not need to be installed, the function is too single, after installing virtualbox or vmware can be

2. Post-installation configuration

Multisystem configuration grub.conf

cd /boot/grub directory

cp grub.conf grub.conf.bak It is a good practice to do backups before doing anything.

vim grub.conf

Default 0 This parameter determines which system the system starts by default. There are several titles below, which means that several systems start from 0

The default is fedora and then xp

We change the default 0 For default 1

Change title Other to Windows XP

Save and exit

When restarting the machine, it will automatically start to xp without going through the grub.< Br>

This is a personal habit. If you use xp often, then default starts xp. If you often use fedora, you don't need to change the default value.

3. Wireless network card configuration

There are two places to configure the wireless network card. I don't know if it is correct. I have configured two places to get the wireless network.

A, in system---administrator--- -network After configuring the root password, configure the IP address, gateway and DNSB of wlan0.

B. Right-click on the network connection on the taskbar and select edition. There is also a place to configure the wireless network. You need to modify two. Place, one is also an IP address, configured to the same address as the one just above Another place is about the password type. The default is opensystem. To change to a share key, that is, a shared key.

This way you can use the wireless network under fedora when you enter the password when connecting to wireless. It is also more convenient.

4. Configure the input method fcitx

This has been said in another article, and will not be mentioned here.

5.Music Software

Trying to use amarok this software takes up a lot of memory, and the software takes up 70M, so I found another software called decibel audio player. This software takes up 20M memory when booting. It is also relatively large, this player has no lyrics function, it is a pity.

6.Virtualization

Installing virtualbox and vmware are very simple, you can download it directly and use rpm to install it. Not much to say here.
