= Fedora Live Images =
[[TableOfContents]]
Fedora 7 includes the additional of several live images in addition to the traditional
install ISOs. These images are bootable ISO images that can be burned to media and used
for trying out Fedora. They also allow installing the bits on the CD to your hard drive
for persistence and higher performance.
== Available Images ==
There are three live images available for Fedora 7.
1. Fedora 7 i386 Desktop CD. This is a CD sized image for i386 machines. It has the
default desktop environment (GNOME), support for all supported Fedora locales and a basic
set of the productivity apps available in Fedora.
1. Fedora 7 x86_64 Desktop DVD. This is a DVD sized image for x86_64 machines. The
package set is the same as that of the i386 Desktop CD
1. Fedora 7 i386 KDE CD. This is a CD sized image for i386 machines. It has the KDE
Desktop environment and a large set of KDE applications. Note that this image really
only has the packages needed for English.
== Usage Information ==
The live images should boot on any machine with support for booting from CD-ROM. Upon
booting the CD, you can log in and use the desktop environment as the fedora user. After
logging in, if you wish to install the contents of the live image to your hard drive,
click on the "Install to Hard Drive" icon on the desktop.
== Other Methods of Booting ==
Another way to use these live images is to put them on a USB stick. To do this,
you'll need to install the livecd-tools package from the development repository.
Then, run the livecd-iso-to-stick script. Usage is
{{{ # /usr/bin/livecd-iso-to-stick /path/to/live.iso /dev/sdb1 }}}
where '''/dev/sdb1''' is the partition you want to put the image
on.
Note that this is *not* a destructive process; any data you currently have on your USB
stick will be preserved.
== Differences From a Regular Fedora Install ==
The following things are different from a normal Fedora install with the Live images.
* sshd is disabled. This is because the passwords on the live image are blank.
* NetworkManager is enabled by default.
