<BODY style="MARGIN: 4px 4px 1px; FONT: 10pt Tahoma; COLOR: #000000">Thanks for your help fog is a cloning program that makes images of different machines. I will get you the instructions I have and send them. here is the website for fog. <A href="http://www.fogproject.org">www.fogproject.org</A> I have tryed the su - and it gets me to root but when I download the fog program it doesn't download it just does nothing but if I download to my download folder it works but that is not what the instructions say to do. So I assume it is not downloading to the right place. I watched a video on one of the websites about fedora and it says to hit ctl, alt f2 and that will also get you into root I tried that also. So I am not sure what I am doing wrong.<BR><BR>>>> Ed Landaveri <landaveri@inbox.com> 10/19/2009 6:25 PM >>><BR>Mellisa,<BR>as advised do 'su -' and follow the instructions on installing fog BTW what is 'fog'?<BR>If you have doubts about not being root type in 'whoami' (remember NOT to type in the quotes)<BR>Let me know what is fog and if have the instructions send it to me. It is an rpm installation or you do unpack a *.tar.bz or gz file on /opt and proceed with the install scripts.<BR><BR>+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+<BR>|E|d|u|a|r|d|o| |L|a|n|d|a|v|e|r|i|<BR>+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+<BR><BR>+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+<BR>|G|N|U|-|L|i|n|u|x| |U|s|e|r| |4|3|3|5|1|2|<BR>+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+<BR><BR><BR>> -----Original Message-----<BR>> From: gene.heskett@verizon.net<BR>> Sent: Mon, 19 Oct 2009 15:15:41 -0400<BR>> To: fedora-list@redhat.com<BR>> Subject: Re: newbie help with setting up fedora 11 to use fog<BR>> <BR>> On Monday 19 October 2009, Melissa Bougor wrote:<BR>> >I have installed fedora 11 on a 1 tbyte hard drive we bought to use as a<BR>>> server to run fog.
