How to install Fedora17 from a hard disk

How to install Fedora17 from a hard disk (Howtoinstallfedora17fromharddrive, Fedora-17-i386-DVD.iso) Before I wrote an article on how to install Fedora16 from a hard disk:

How to install Fedora 17 from hard drive (How to install fedora 17 from hard drive, Fedora-17-i386-DVD.iso)

I wrote an article on how to install Fedora 16 from the hard disk: http://www.linuxidc.com/Linux/2012-06/62118.htm

Now, Fedora 17 is available, but the hard disk installation method has changed, so modify it based on the previous article.

Suppose your hard disk partition is:

/Dev/sda1/boot 500 M

/Dev/sda2/40G

/Dev/sda3/homeIn the 250G # grub (hd0, 2), grub starts counting from 0.

/Dev/sda4 swap 2G


Note:/dev/sda3 is (hd0, msdos3) in grub2)

Step 1: Copy Fedora-17-i386-DVD.iso to the/home Directory

Step 2: Copy isolinux/vmlinuz, isolinux/initrd. img to/home from the Fedora-17-i386-DVD.iso.

Specific instructions:

Sudo mount-t iso9660-o loop Fedora-17-i386-DVD.iso/mnt

Sudo cp-afr/mnt/isolinux/vmlinuz/mnt/isolinux/initrd. img/home

Note: The/home directory does not have any other iso image, such as a Fedora-16-i386-DVD.iso; otherwise, it is installed with fedora 16 instead of fedora 17.

Step 3: (optional) create a directory in/home/to save the gurb2 module, in case that the installation process is accidentally interrupted after/boot is formatted, and the system cannot be started.

Mkdir/home/f16
Cp-afr/boot/grub/home/f16
Cp-afr/boot/grub2/home/f16


Step 4: restart your computer.

Step 5: (grub1 command)

After entering grub, press c to enter the grub command line:

Run the following command:

---------------------------------------------------------
Root (hd0, 2)# We just saved vmlinuz, initrd. img to this partition (/dev/sda3,/home), so the root must be specified as hd0, 2
Kernel/vmlinuz linux repo = hd:/dev/sda2 :/# Note ,"Hd:"HardDisk, last":/"Specify the installation Source Path
Initrd/initrd. img
Boot
---------------------------------------------------------
Note ,"Hd:"HardDisk, last":/"Specify the installation Source Path. These two parameters are very important:

If noHd:By default, the installer will be installed from the disc. If the fedora 17 disc is not in the optical drive, press boot and the system will directly stop on the black-white startup interface.

If":/", The installer will install grub to the/dev/sda interface after you perform the formatting. Click" next "and an error will be reported directly. The installer will exit. If, if you have formatted/boot, the system will no longer be able to start normally and the grub rescue interface will be displayed when you start the system. If you are unfortunately at this step, at the end, I will provide a recovery method.
