[FZH] Question regarding LiveCD and install to Hard D

[Shen-En Chen]

Hi, guys,

I have a very old Dell computer Dimension 4600, with 1.5 GB RAM, 80GB hard
drive space, and no CD-ROM drives.  Luckily, I found that it is able to
boot from USB flash devices. And therefore I made a Fedora 16 usb live
media. I could install Fedora 16 to the computer, but what can I do next?
Can I upgrade this install to a regular workstation or a server? I need
sshd, openoffice, and other common utilities.  Can I do a yum update? More
importantly, how do I enable Chinese inputs?

Thanks!

You can do what you want if you install to hard disk.

For ssh,
Try yum search ssh, this command will list the applications name which 
include "ssh"
Or just run: yum install openssh

For openoffice:
Fedora had replaced openoffice by libreoffice,
run: yum search openoffice to see which components of libreoffice do you 
need. Then run yum install.

For Chinese input method, you can still use the yum command to search 
it, for example: ibus-pinyin.

Most of the applications you need may already be installed to your 
computer. Try to find them first under your Desktop Environment.

Good luck.
