Precautions when installing Fedora8 on a hard disk

Hard Disk installation of Fedora8 method, I believe google search is a lot of, Linux community also introduced a lot, (you can refer to the http://www.linuxidc.com/Linux/2007-11/8908.htm) So I don't want to repeat it. Here I mainly want to introduce some things that need to be paid attention to during the installation process, so that everyone may accidentally get stuck in a dead end.

Hard Disk installation of Fedora 8 method, I believe google search is a lot of, Linux community also introduced a lot, (you can refer to the http://www.linuxidc.com/Linux/2007-11/8908.htm) So I don't want to repeat it. Here I mainly want to introduce some things that need to be paid attention to during the installation process, so that everyone may accidentally get stuck in a dead end.

There are mainly the following points:

1. a iso ora 8 ISO image file is required for hard disk installation, and two files, vmlinuz and initrd. img, must be extracted before installation for installation. Here, I would like to remind you of the method of extracting files. If you use RAR software in Windows to decompress files, be careful, because the extracted files may be unavailable (for example, run the following command in grub: kernel (hd0, 0)/vmlinuz/*. Assume that the address of the vmlinuz file is (hd0, 0) */, the following error occurs: "Error14 invaild or unsupported executable format". A safer way is to mount the ISO image file in linux, after the mounting is successful, you can browse and copy the files. The mount method is: mount-t iso9660-o loop xxx. iso/mnt/cdrom

2. If you already have a linux system in your previous system and a new drive letter for Fedora 8 installation, it is very likely that the ing between the drive letter and/dev/hda N is changed. If you have configured the default file system loaded by the system in/etc/fstab of the original system, it is likely to need to be updated. Otherwise, the file system loading error may occur when the original system is started. In addition, swap in the original linux system will be snatched from the newly installed system. Therefore, it is best to plan swap allocation before installing the system.

3. After the installation of Fedora 8 is successful, you can modify/etc/grub. conf to modify the grub interface and select the default Operating System settings when starting.
