Storage A &FED; system requires a minimum of 700 MB storage for a command-line system. A desktop system with the default applications requires at le= ast 3 GB of storage. You may install multiple copies of &FED; on the same computer. Configure any RAID functions provided by the mainboard of your comput= er, or attached controller cards, before you begin the installation proce= ss. &FED; can automatically detect many RAID devices and use any storage = they provide.
Networking By default, &FC; systems attempt to discover correct connection set= tings for the attached network using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Dynamic Host Control Protocol, = or DHCP. Your network may incl= ude a DHCP provider which delivers settings to other systems on demand. The= DHCP provider may be a router or wireless access point for the network, or= a server. In some circumstances you may need to provide information about your network during the installation process. Refer to and for more information. Modem Configuration The installation system for &FC; does not configure modems. If your computer has a modem, configure the dialing settings after you complete the installation and reboot.
Installing from a Server or Web Site You may install &FC; using a mirror, a Web sit= e or network server that provide a copy of the necessary files. To use a mirror, you need to know: the name of the server the network protocol used for installation (FTP, HTTP, or NFS) the path to the installation files on the server You may install &FC; from your own private mirror, or use one of the public mirrors maintained by members of the community. To ensure that= the connection is as fast and reliable as possible, use a server that is = close to your own geographical location. The &FP; maintains a list of HTTP and FTP public mirrors, sorted by region, at . To determine the complete directory path for the installation files, = add /&FCLOCALVER;/architecture/os/ = to the path shown on the web page. If your computer uses the ppc architecture, for instance, add /&FCLOCALVER;/ppc/os/ to the path shown. Building Your Own Mirror Refer to for information on how to create your own &FED; mirror for either public or private use. To use a mirror, boot your computer with &FED; boot media, and foll= ow the instructions in . Refer to for more information on creating the boot media. Using the Installation Discs If you boot your computer with either an installation DVD, or the first installation CD, enter linux askmethod at the boot: prompt to access the server installation options. If your network includes a server, you may also use PXE (Pre-boot eXecution Environment) to boot y= our computer. PXE (also referred to as netboot) is= a standard that enables PCs to use files on a server as a boot device. = &FC; includes utilities that allow it to function as a PXE server for other computers. You can use this option to install &FC; on a PXE-enabled computer entirely over the network connection, using no physical medi= a at all.
Installing &FC; on a Managed Network Some corporate networks include a directory service that manages user accounts for the organization. &FC; systems can joi= n a Kerberos, NIS, Hesiod, or Microsoft Windows domain as part of the installation process. &FC; can also use LDAP directories. Consult Network Administrators Always consult the administrators before you install a &FC; system on an existing network owned by someone besides yourself. They can provide correct network and authentication settings, and guidance on specific organizational policies and requirements.
--- NEW FILE hwarchitecture.xml --- %FEDORA-ENTITIES; %DOC-ENTITIES; ]> Understanding i386 and Other Computer Architectures The &FP; provides distributions of &FC; for several different types of computer systems. Each distribution of &FC; is built for computers bas= ed on a specific architecture. The architecture descri= bes the processor on which the computer is built. Most computers come with identifying marks and literature describing the processor inside the computer. Refer to your computer's marks or literature and find its architecture in the list below: i386 Intel x86-compatible processors, including Intel Pentium and Pentium-MMX, Pentium Pro, Pentium-II, Pentium-III, Celeron, Pentium 4, Xeon, Core Duo, and Centrino/Centrino Duo; VIA C3/C3-m and Eden/Eden-N; and AMD Athlon, AthlonXP, Duron, AthlonMP, Sempron, and Turion ppc PowerPC processors, such as those found in Apple Power Macintosh, G3, G4, and G5, and IBM pSeries systems x86_64 64-bit AMD processors such as Athlon64/FX/X2, Turion64, Opteron; and Intel 64-bit processors such as EM64T --- NEW FILE preparing-media.xml --- %FEDORA-ENTITIES; %DOC-ENTITIES; ]> Preparing Media To install &FC; from discs, you need five installation CDs, or the installation DVD. There are separate disc sets for each supported architecture. For instructions to download and prepare this CD or DVD installation media, refer to . If= you already have the full set of &FC; installation media, skip to . Architecture-Specific Distributions To install &FC;, you must use the boot and installation media that = is particular to your architecture. Refer to for information on hardware archite= ctures and how to determine the right one for your computer. You may use the first CD or DVD installation disc from the complete &FC; distribution to boot your computer. The &FC; distribution also includes image files for boot-only CD or DVD media and USB media. You can convert these files into bootable media using standard = Linux utilities or third-party programs on other operating systems. You may boot your computer with boot-only media, and load the installat= ion system from another source to continue the process. The types of installation source for &FED; include: CD or DVD media installation discs hard drive, either attached by USB, or internal to the computer network installation server, using either HTTP, FTP, or NFS You can use this facility to install &FC; on machines without using installation discs. For example, you may install &FC; on a laptop with = no CD or DVD drive by booting the machine with a USB pen drive, and then usin= g a hard drive as an installation source. The supported boot media for &FED; include: CD or DVD media (either installation disc #1 or a special boot-only disc) USB media network interface (via PXE) Installation from Diskettes There is no option to either boot or install &FC; from diskettes.
Preparing CD or DVD Media The images/boot.iso file on the first &FC; installation disc is a boot image designed for CD and DVD media. This= file also appears on FTP and Web sites providing &FC;. You can also find t= his file on mirror sites in the &FC; distribution directory for your particular architecture. The &FC; distribution is also downloadable as a set of CD-sized ISO i= mage files or a single DVD-sized ISO image file. You can record these file= s to CD or DVD using a CD or DVD burning program on your current operating system: Windows operating systems Burn an ISO image to disc using your installed CD or DVD burning software. Most software has an option labeled Burn image file to disc or Make disc from ISO image. If your software offers a choice of image formats, choose "ISO image" as the file type. If several ISO formats are offered, choose the closest match to "Mode 1, 2048-byte blocks." Apple MacOS X Open the Disk Copy application, found in= the /Applications/Utilities folder. From the menu, select Image Burn Image... . Select the CD image to burn, check that the burn options are correct, and select the Burn button. Linux operating systems If you are using a recent version of the GNOME desktop environment, right-click the ISO image file and choose Write to disc. If you are using a recent version of the KDE desktop environment, use K3B and select Tools Burn CD Image , or Tools Burn DVD ISO Image if appropriate. The following command line works for many other environments: cdrecord --device=3Dcdwriter-device -tao -eject image-file.iso System-Specific Instructions Unfortunately this guide cannot offer specific instructions for e= very possible combination of hardware and software. You can find more information at . Consult your operating system's documentation and online support services, and for additional help if needed.
Preparing USB Boot Media Data Loss This procedure destroys data on the media. Back up any important information before you begin. Some models of USB media use additional partitions or software to provide functions such as encryption. This procedure may make it difficult or impossible to access these special areas on your boot media. The images/diskboot.img file on the first &FC; installation disc is a boot image designed for USB media. This file a= lso appears on FTP and Web sites providing &FC;. Several software utilities are available for Windows and Linux that c= an write image files to a device. Linux includes the dd command for this purpose. The dd utility requires you to specify the device = file that corresponds to the physical media. The name of the device file matches the name assigned to the device by your system. All device fi= les appear in the directory /dev/. For example, /dev/sda denotes the first USB or SCSI device th= at is attached to the system. To learn the name that your system assigns to the media: Open a terminal window. On a &FED; system, choose Applications Accessories Terminal to start a terminal. Attach or insert the media. In the terminal window, type the following command: dmesg Look for the items in the dmesg output that relate to the detection of a new SCSI device. Linux systems treat USB media as forms of SCSI device. Unmount the media. On a &FED; system, right-click the icon that corresponds to the media, and select Unmount Volume. Alternatively, enter this command in a terminal window: umount /dev/sda Replace /dev/sda with the name of the correct device file for the media. To write an image file to boot media with dd on a current version of &FC;, carry out the following steps: Locate the image file. Attach or insert the media. Your system may automatically detect and open the media. If that happens, close or unmount the media before continuing. Open a terminal window. In the terminal window, type the following command: dd if=3Ddiskboot.img of=3D/dev/sda Replace /dev/sda with the name of the correct device file for the media.
