When you see this article, I believe you have downloaded the latest Fedora 18, which is good! I am also a fan of fedora. I first came into contact with fedora16. after several generations of fedora, I became more and more fond of this system.

The new Fedora 18 dvd version has already reached 4.37 GB, which is nearly one GB larger than 17. The ghost knows what they put in it. However, the direct result is that the original fat32 disk policy is unavailable. Microsoft's fat32 supports a maximum of less than 4 GB, but the NTFS installation program does not know it. So ....... How can we be overwhelmed by this difficulty? Next we will use the linux ext format to install it.

1. Divide a disk into 5 GB disks. Use a tool (mostly on the Internet) to format it in ext format. As the problem arises, widnows does not know partitions in ext format, so it cannot be read or written. I am also entangled here. I have also found several tools online, but they are not easy to use. Finally, I remember I had Ubuntu12.10 on the hard disk. Ubuntu hard disk installation has always been very easy. Simply start it and use it to copy the iso file. Isn't it enough to install it? So ....... However, we recommend that you search for several tools online. You only need to copy the iso installation package of fedora18 to the ext partition.

Use Ext2Fsd to read and write Linux Ext3/Ext4 partition file http://www.linuxidc.com/Linux/2013-01/77992.htm in Windows 7

Of course, you need to divide a free partition to install the fedora system. You can decide the specific size. But it is better to be greater than 10 Gb. Not capped. Remember, it must be a free partition. Not unallocated partitions. Use the disk management tool that comes with windows. This operation is easy.

2. Next, download the startup Item management tool. EasyBCD, a friend who has used it knows how easy and easy it is to use.

After the project is started, edit the startup project file and add the following content to it.

Title Install Fedora 18
Root (hd0, 0)
Kernel (hd0, 0)/vmlinuz linux askmethod repo = hd:/dev/sdaY :/
Initrd (hd0, 0)/initrd. img
Boot

The above (hd0, 0) represents your C drive, while the Y in hd:/dev/sdbY:/Represents your ext Partition Number. If you are not clear about this aspect. After completing the following steps to restart the machine, you can click "E" on the startup Item to edit the startup project, then you can perform experiments on the 5, 6, 7, and 8 pages. Press enter to save and run B. Remember.

3. Next, open your iso installation package. Copy the images, isolinux, and LiveOS folders to your C-drive root directory. That's right! Is the C drive. Even if it is NTFS or anything else, it doesn't matter. Then copy the vmlinuz and initrd. img files in the ioslinux folder to the C root directory.

4. What are you waiting for? restart it. Remind me. If you have installed ora17, you will be familiar with this process. However, the installation page on the 18 th page is quite different from that on the 17 th page. This is especially true for partition and software package selection. Be careful.
