Installation and configuration of Fedora 15

Fedora 15 will be released on December 24, and four days from the official version. I am here to give you some advice on using Fedora 15 in advance. The following is my summary of the installation and configuration of Fedora 15. I hope it will be convenient for you to configure your Fedora 15. For reference only. If any error occurs, please note.

"1" Installation Introduction

Fedora 15 Beta @ http://fedoraproject.org/zh_CN/get-prerelease.
You can download a DVD or LiveCD to install Fedora 15.

Because I do not have a CD/DVD in my hand to burn the disc for installation, I am using a USB flash disk for installation. The size of the USB flash drive is 2 GB. I chose to download the LiveCD media. Burn LiveCD to a USB flash disk and make it into a boot disk. After the boot, select start from the USB flash drive to go to the Live trial interface, and then select "Install to hard disk.

Burn the image to a USB flash drive:

# In win, you can use UltraISO to enable the boot disk by selecting "write to hard disk. The specific usage will not be described here;

# In Linux, I use the Unetbin:

Ubuntu installation:

Sudo apt-get install unetbootin

Fedora installation:

Yum install unetbootin

Because I am under Fedora 14, the second method is used. If you do not want to use LiveCD to install Fedora, you can also use the command to upgrade from Fedora 13 & 14 to Fedora 15, see my last article "upgrade from Fedora 13 & 14 to Fedora 15". This method requires a large number of software packages to be downloaded for a long time. If the network speed is not good, it is scratching your ears and furious. In addition, after the software package is downloaded, it is easy to encounter inexplicable errors when the installation is restarted. I have planted this method. If you want to try it, you can try it.

"2" prerequisites

Since I had been wandering in Ubuntu for a long time, I used Fedora for a short time. Although I have been familiar with it several times, I am not very familiar with it. Fedora is similar to Ubuntu in many aspects. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, Fedora is also very easy to use. I feel that for me, the management of software packages should be the focus of the solution.

The installation package format of Fedora is rpm. Use yum (that is, Yellow dog Updater, Modified. ^ _ ^, Yellow dog) Front-end software manager to download and install RPM packages. yum can automatically handle dependencies and install all dependent software packages at a time, this is the same as installing software in Ubuntu. It is very convenient for you to automatically resolve dependencies.

At the same time, Yum graphical front-end yumex and kyum. "Add/delete software" under Fedora is also a good software management center. However, in this regard, Fedora and Ubuntu are not doing very well. I feel that Fedora can make some improvements in this regard to facilitate the installation of software by cainiao/veteran. However, the open-source project Ailurus pandatv developed by Shanghai Jiao Tong University's trusted digital technology laboratory can be said to make up for this defect to some extent. We will use it later.

The following is my summary of some usage of yum. You can run the command 'yum-help' or 'man yum 'to view more help information:

Yum install * installation package

Yum list ~ Search for software packages

Yum check-update to check for updates

Yum update system

Run the 'yum-help' command. Some input results are as follows:

Usage: yum [options] COMMAND

List of Commands:

Check Check for problems in the rpmdb

Check-update Check for available package updates

Clean Remove cached data

Deplist List a packages dependencies

Downgrade a package

Erase Remove a package or packages from your system

History Display, or use, the transaction history

Info Display details about a package or group of packages

Install Install a package or packages on your system

List List a package or groups of packages

Makecache Generate the metadata cache

Reinstall a package

Repolist Display the configured software repositories

Search Search package details for the given string

Update Update a package or packages on your system

Upgrade Update packages taking obsoletes into account

Unlike Ubuntu, to obtain administrator permissions, you must first use the 'su 'command (without quotation marks) to switch to the root permission. You can also add 'Su-C' before running the command '. The format is as follows:

#1,

$ Su

Enter the password:

#2,

$ Su-c 'yum install *** ', where *** is the name of the software package to be installed. "3." system settings

#1. Network Connection

Because our school uses the ruijie client to access the Internet. So the following is how to install @ google code on the client mentohust. rpm. For other connection methods such as DSL, you can find the corresponding client.
#2. Install and automatically select the fastest image plugin

Install the plug-in fastestmirror to enable the yum manager to automatically search for the fastest source download

# Yum-y install yum-fastestmirror

#3. Install and download the acceleration plug-in

For details, refer to the Fedora yum accelerated download plug-in.

# Yum install yum-presto

#4. Install the auto-completion command plug-in

The original Fedora does not support it. It seems that you can do it now. If you have not completed it automatically, run the following command to install bash-completion:

# Yum install bash-completion

#5. Set sudo

Sudo is used in Ubuntu or other releases. We can implement sudo in the following ways. Enter

# Mongodo

Then, find the following lines in the configuration file:

# Allow root to run any commands anywhere

Root ALL = (ALL) ALL

Then, add the following content under the upstream content

Bentu ALL = (ALL) ALL

Note: Change bentu to your username. Can I try it now? Pai_^

#6. Right-click the installation and choose "open in terminal"

# Yum install nautilus-open-terminal

Restart or log out, it should take effect.

#7. Install the Input Method

In the beta version of Fedora 15, there is no ibus. We can use the following command to install the input method.

Ibus:

# Yum install ibus

Ibus-sunpinyin:

# Yum install ibus-sunpinyin

Fcitx little penguin input method:

# Yum install fcitx

After the installation is complete, in "Input Method Settings", select Add the above input method.

#8. Install GNOME3 tweak tool

The default desktop environment of Fedora 15 is GNOME 3. You can run the following command to install the GNOME3 tweak tool to adjust multiple systems:

# Yum install gnome-tweak-tool

I have written many articles about GNOME 3. You can refer to the following GNOME 3 Article:

GNOME 3 user Memorandum

GNOME 3 White Paper

3D effect display + tutorial implemented by Gnome 3

GNOME 3 colorful desktop wallpaper download

Modify GNOME 3 "activity" text as an icon

I will continue to launch it in the future
