　　　　Linux Hard disk installation steps

find a lot of internet use DVD mirrored hard disk installation FC5 article, but none of the system, for the vast number of Chinese rookie, brother even the Linux Cloud architect drew a lot of time to write this detailed installation article, Hopefully it will help you with your first contact with LINUX or just getting started.

First, the preparation of knowledge:

　　1, UnderstandingLINUXpartition that we normally useWINDOWSthe operating system is generallyFAT32orNTFSpartitions, whileLINUXto use a different partition structure, it is now generally usedEXT3, and more thanWINDOWSto divide a swap partition, which isSWAPpartitions. Which means if you want to installLINUX, at least two partitions, one isSWAPswap partition, one that is installed by the systemEXT3partition, if you want to learn more aboutLINUXpartition more detailed content, please search related articles in this site, for your further studyLINUXlay a good foundation.

2   files: The image files We downloaded are all suffix names iso image file, because rar can extract the file inside and display the rar The format of the compressed package, so many novice think that this is the compression package needs decompression, which is not correct, we put this kind of file is called image file, is the burning software is often used in the format, the engraved disc friends should know.

Note: My following installation is in my WINDOWS partition is FAT32 under the condition that if the C - drive is NTFS Structural responsibility will be different !

Second, installation Preparation:

1, download fc5 dvd image file Span style= "font-family: ' Times New Roman ';" >, and saved in a fat32 The root directory of the format partition, I placed the d disk, note that you do not need to extract

2 download: grub for dos  and put the inside of the " file " unzip the big c packing directory, note not a folder

3, this boot.ini file replacement c files under the packing directory, note c This file under the disk is hidden, as for what is added inside, interested friends to look at. Extract the " to you to store the Span style= "font-family: ' Times New Roman ';" >FC5 the partition root of the image file. Of course I put the 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 a different disk, this needs to be changed, which is also a 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 /isolinux the vmlinuz and the DVD Initrd.img extracted and placed in c \

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

　　2: Modify boot. ini

Add this line to the last side C:\grldr= "GRUB" is saved and exited 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 - plate.

As for the two files is inside the Isolinux folder.

reboot the system and you will see GRUB menu, select ftp installation after selecting in 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

Catalog Selection Fedora8
