Linux hard disk installation steps

Online to find a lot of DVD -Mirrored hard disk installation FC5 articles, but are not system, for the vast number of Chinese rookie, brother even Linux

The cloud architect spent a lot of time writing this detailed installation article, hoping to help the first contact with LINUX or just getting started.

　　First, the preparation of knowledge:

　　1, understand the Linux partition, we usually use the WINDOWS operating system is generally FAT32 or NTFS partition, and Linux To use a different partition structure, now generally use EXT3, and more than WINDOWS to a swap partition, that is, the swap partition. That is, if you want to install Linux, at least two partitions, one is swap partition, one is the system installed EXT3 partition, if you want to know about Linux Partition more detailed content, please search related articles in this site, for you to learn more about LINUX in the future to lay a good foundation.

　　2,ISO file: We download the image file is a suffix named ISO image file, because the rar can extract the inside of the file and display rar The format of the compressed package, so many rookie think it is compressed package needs decompression, which is not correct, we put this kind of file called image file, is the burning software is often used in the format, the friend should know.

Note: My following installation is under the FAT32 condition of my WINDOWS partition, if the C Drive is NTFS fabric responsibility will be different !

　Second, installation Preparation:

1 , download FC5 DVD image file on this site, and save it in the root of a FAT32 format partition, I put on D disk, Note that no decompression is required !

　　2, download:Grub for Dos and the inside of the " file " to extract the large C packing directory, note is not a folder !

　　3, the boot. ini file to replace the C packing directory of the file, note that the C disk under the file is hidden, as to what is added to the content, interested friends to see. Extract the isolinux " folder " in the download image to the partition root where you stored the FC5 image file. Of course I put it on the D -plate.

　4, edit C:\boot\grub\menu.lst, this file, in the document add this part of the content:

　　Title Install-fedora Core 5

　　Kernel (hd0,4)/isolinux/vmlinuz

　　INITRD (hd0,4)/isolinux/initrd.img

Save, but pay attention to the partition you put, mine is (hd0,4), if you put the installation package on the other disk, this need to change, this is the novice installation often encountered problems. If you have read this website about the LINUX Partition Introduction article, this does not need me to say more. Want to study you search, read an article time than you restart the repeated installation failure time to use much less, but also learned knowledge, why not.

　　5, prepare a partition that wants to install LINUX , put all the important files that transfer the evacuation of the retreat, do not need to use PM such partitioning software first to partition the good area, We delete this empty partition directly at the time of installation and then we can split it again, just like the one in WINDOWS installation.

　　===============================================================

Equipment work: You can split part of the space as ext3 format ... Easy installation

First, use WinRAR to extract the vmlinuz and initrd.img from the DVD /isolinux in c \

　　1: Download a tool : Grub for Dos decompression to C + +

　　2: Modify boot. ini

The last side adds this line c:\grldr= "GRUB" is saved and exits so that when the system starts, it reads from boot.int to one more option

　　3: Modify C:\boot\grub\menu.lst

Add so few lines

　　Title Install Fedora 8

　　Kernel (hd0,0)/isolinux/vmlinuz

　　INITRD (hd0,0)/isolinux/initrd.img

Explain : title is the caption displayed, hda0 represents the first IDE hard disk,0 refers to the first partition, here is the so-called C disk.

As for the two files is inside the isolinux folder.

Reboot the system and you will see the GRUB menu, select ftp installation After selecting the installation media,

and select Fedora8.

The approximate process is as follows:

To configure network IP information:

You can use manual configuration IPv4 ( V6 not selected )

Then set

　　Ip:your ip/255.255.255.0

　　Gateway: 192.168.1.254

　　server:61.144.56.100

Then FTP information:

Using 192.168.1.100:15021

Catalogue selection Fedora8

Select Require non-anonymous

Next, fill in the User name password

　　OK... Enter the installation:
