Installation and simple configuration of Fedora 19 USB flash drives

I. Installation of ora19 USB flash drives

On February 19, July 3, 2013, the official version of Fedora 19 was released. In addition to GNOME Desktop edition, fedora 19 also provides KDE and lxde customized versions. If you are interested, you can download and try it on its official website.
It is understood that the official version of Fedora 19 has been updated to the regular software version, and some new features are added: Upgrade the kernel to 3.9.0. Added the selection of the extlinux boot program, which is a member of the syslinux boot program family. Initial settings screen redesign. Anaconda installer rewriting (Fedora
18), providing support for advanced storage, such as fcoe, iSCSI, and multipath. The text mode is also improved. The grub appearance and GRUB menu have been modified to make grub more appealing. Node. the JS runtime and NPM Integrated Administrator is used to develop extensible network application software or real-time application software for Distributed devices. Fedora 19 updates the traditional version of the language to PhP (5.5 ), the latest version is Ruby 2.0.0. Fedora 19 has also made various improvements in operating system management, including the startup process, fault recovery, system migration, and others. Fedora
19 includes diagnostic, monitoring, and log tools to help users change from passive to active, with more free time.

I was so tempted to download and install such a tempting Desktop Linux system ...... Here I will mention that the current fedora version provides livecd images, and after starting a USB flash drive using ultraiso, you need to make the following modifications to ensure proper installation ......

1. Enter the prepared U disk boot disk and find the isolinux. cfg and syslinux. cfg files in the isolinux folder.

2. Open the isolinux. cfg file in a text editor and change the root value to fedora-19-1 (root = live: cdlabel = fedora-19-1 ). A total of three changes are required, as shown below:

Menu label ^ start fedora live
Kernel vmlinuz0
Append initrd = initrd0.img root = live: cdlabel = fedora-19-1 rootfstype = auto Ro Rd. live. image quiet rhgb Rd. luks = 0 Rd. MD = 0 Rd. dm = 0
Menu default
Menu Separator
Menu begin ^ troubleshooting
Menu title troubleshooting
Label basic0
Menu Label Start fedora live in ^ basic graphics mode.
Kernel vmlinuz0
Append initrd = initrd0.img root = live: cdlabel = fedora-19-1 rootfstype = auto Ro Rd. live. image quiet rhgb Rd. luks = 0 Rd. MD = 0 Rd. dm = 0 xdriver = VESA nomodeset
Text help
Try this option out if you're having trouble starting.
Endtext
Label check0
Menu label ^ test this Media & start fedora live
Kernel vmlinuz0
Append initrd = initrd0.img root = live: cdlabel = fedora-19-1 rootfstype = auto Ro Rd. live. image quiet rhgb Rd. luks = 0 Rd. MD = 0 Rd. dm = 0 Rd. live. check
Label memtest
Menu label run a ^ memory test.

3. Copy the isolinux. cfg file and name it syslinux. cfg (overwrite the original syslinux. cfg file ). That is to say, the two files, isolinux. cfg and syslinux. cfg, have different names and have the same content.

4. Change the u drive letter name to fedora-19-1. Note that the three changes above must be the same as those modified here.

After all the work ends, restart the computer and select the USB flash drive to start and install it.

This is the protection interface of fedora19, which is quite beautiful.

Ii. Some simple fedora configurations

I used to manage the packages of APT-Get and aptitude because I used to use Ubuntu all the time. So some of the changes below are summarized in the blog post on the Internet and I will learn the fedora record for myself, you can also help others new to fedora.

1. Install the plug-in fastestmirror that automatically selects the fastest Source:

# Sudo Yum-y install Axel Yum-plugin-fastestmirror & Sudo-y update

2. download and install the rpmfusion Source

Http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/Fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm
Http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
After the download, (switch to the directory that stores the two RPM packages) Run
Rpm-IVH rpmfusion *. rpm
Update Yum-y update

This step should be similar to modifying the Debian source. Therefore, after this step, you can use Yum to automatically install many other software.

The following are some of my required software: stardict, stardict, CHM reader, chmsee, VIM Editor, VLC video player, git, Wireshark, Dia, and xournal.

3. Install the Chinese Input Method for Fedora

Sudo Yum install ibus-pinyin

In other words, the ibus integration of fedora19 is perfect, and it is very convenient to use the Chinese input method! Like ~

4. enable SSH Login

I used to get used to Ubuntu/Debian. After I switched to Linux, I also took it for granted to search for and install SSH to facilitate remote login. This is not that simple. First, I got the OpenSSH-server software package, it is more complex than the Ubuntu/Debian SSH name. The suffix is based on the installed system (so you must search for it using Yum search)

Sudo Yum install openssh-server-sysvinit.x86_64

Use sudo/etc/init. d/sshd start to enable the SSH service, and then use other machines to log on.

5. Install chrome

After the official version of Fedora 19 is installed, Chrome may also be installed using the sudo rpm-IVH *. RPM command, depending on dozens of packages. After query, we found that Google Chrome can be used to install Chrome with the repo specifically provided for Fedora. Therefore, we must first create a repo and then use the command to install it.
The procedure is as follows:
(1). Add the google-chrome.repo file (SUDO Vim/etc/yum. Repos. d/google-chrome.repo) in the/etc/yum. Repos. d/directory and enter the following code:
[Google-chrome]
Name = Google-chrome-32-bit
Base url = http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/i386
Enabled = 1
Gpgcheck = 1
Gpgkey = https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
Save and close.
(2) enter the following command on the terminal:
Sudo Yum install Google-chrome-stable

In addition, note the following:
(1). the 64-bit system code is as follows:
[Google-chrome]
Name = Google-chrome-64-bit
Base url = http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64
Enabled = 1
Gpgcheck = 1
Gpgkey = https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
(2) install the beta version command: Yum install Google-chrome-beta
Unstable version: Yum install Google-chrome-unstable

6. Install GCC and G ++.

One of the pitfalls of fedora is that GCC and G ++ are not included.

Installing GCC is simple:

# Sudo Yum install gcc

C ++ is not the same:

# Sudo Yum install gcc-C ++
