Hard Drive Install Fedora 11

<!--@page {margin:2cm} P {margin-bottom:0.21cm}-->

I recently ran the Fedora11 Live CD with my computer without an optical drive and then installed the FEDORA11 on the hard drive with a live CD, and kept the original Vista system, XP system, and DOS system. The main points are described below for reference.

1, first with DOS under the Pqmagic tool in the hard drive to open a format into the FAT32 partition, can be the main partition, can also be logical partition, capacity of more than 1.5G; If you are going to install Linux on your hard disk in the future, it is best to leave a 8G of free space in advance;

2, to the Fedoraproject.org/zh_cn/get-fedora website download live CD, less than 700M, is an. iso document;

3. Extract the file with WinRAR to the newly opened FAT32 section;

4, open the Grub boot menu configuration file, (generally found in one-click Recovery Tool, if not on the installation of a "one-click recovery" Software, or the installation of grub for DOS), I used the "one-click Recovery" Software in the C:/mousedos directory, this directory is hidden, the boot menu file name is Mousedos.cfg. Add a startup option to this file:

Title Fedora-11-i686-live

Root (hd0,2)

Kernel/efi/boot/vmlinuz0 Root=/dev/sda3 Rootfstype=auto ro liveimg

Initrd/efi/boot/initrd0.img

Note: (hd0,2) is to let Grub know fedora11 in which partition, different partition parameters are different;

/dev/sda3 is to let Linux kernel know fedora11 in which partition, different partition parameters are different;

In this example, the third primary partition is referred to.

5, start the PC, into the "one-click Recovery" menu, select Fedora-11-i686-live Startup items, began to run FEDORA11 Live version.

If you really want to work with FEDORA11, using the "Install to hard disk" item on your desktop, install FEDORA11 to your hard drive, and remember that it is best to add Vista, XP, and other options when you are prompted to start the selection during installation, so that when you start, you can choose which operating system you want to start.

FEDORA11 installed to the hard drive, if installed by default, modifies the MBR of the hard drive and joins the GRUB multi-system Boot manager. If you want to uninstall this boot manager, you can copy the contents of this boot manager to the "one-click Recovery" boot menu, try it, and after normal, you can use the DOS tool FDISK/MBR to remove grub from the MBR.
