"Brother Bird's Linux Private Dishes" chapter III, host planning and disk partitioning-2. Planning prior to installing Linux

3. Planning before installing Linux
3.1 Select the appropriate distribution

The file name extension you have downloaded is. iso, which is called an image file.

This image file is directly burned into a file by the CD-ROM, the file is very large,

It is recommended that you do not use the browser (Ie/firefox.) To download, you can use the FTP client program to download,

such as FileZilla (http://filezilla-project.org/download.php).

This does not need to worry about the disconnection problem, because you can continue to preach Ah!

In addition, this image file can not be burned in the data format as a CD/dvd!

You have to use the function of the burning program to burn him to a CD or DVD in "image format" !

Remember not to burn with the burn data file format! Important Important!
3.2 The relationship between service planning and hardware of the host

In general, you can also install VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org/) on the Windows operating system

Software that allows you to "simultaneously" use a Linux system on a Windows system, that is, two operating systems simultaneously

Start! However, such a complex environment, especially VirtualBox environment, many of the hardware are simulated, it will make it difficult for beginners

Understand the system control principle. Basically, brother Bird does not recommend that you use this way to learn Linux Oh!

A. Creating an environment where Windows and Linux coexist;

B.nat (To achieve the function of the IP-sharing device);

C.samba (Join Followmission on the Windows network);

D.mail (mail server);

E.web (www server);

F.DHCP (provides the function of the client to obtain IP automatically);

G.proxy (proxy server);

H.ftp;

3.3 Main plan for mainframe drives (partition)

Basic hard disk Split mode

A. partition only the root directory and the memory replacement space (swap);

B. Analytical use segmentation, e.g.//usr/home/var Swap
3.4 Brother Bird said: about the practice machine installation recommendations

A. Independent system of hardware independent host;

B. hard disk segmentation;

C. Install all Kits
3.5 Two practical cases of bird Brother

I. Small Linux server for home, IP sharing and file Sharing Center

A. Nat feature, Samba server

B. Host hardware equipment

CPU uses P-III (MHz);
Memory size is MB of RAM;
Two network cards, the control chip for the common Crab Card (Realtek);
There are two disks, one system disc and one data disc. Data disc up to GB;
The video card is a previously popular GeForce 2 MX containing up to MB of memory;
After installation, the screen, keyboard, mouse, DVD-ROM and other equipment are removed, leaving only the network cable and power cord.

C. Hard Disk Segmentation　

In/boot,/,/usr,/var,/tmp directories are independent;
/Home Independent, placed on the 160GB disk, provided to the family members to store personal data;
1 GB of swap;

Two. Provide Linux PC cluster (Cluster) computer Group

　　　　　　
3.6 Large hard drives fail to boot with old host

Once the Linux core is booted, he will re-detect the entire hardware without regard to the information provided by the BIOS.

So you can catch the right hard drive and let you install Linux.

The installation is started with a CD-ROM and the Linux kernel is loaded by the CD-ROM, so the core can be loaded successfully for installation.

However, if this is the case when booting, because the BIOS catches the hard drive is wrong,

So using a hard drive may cause a failure to start. Processing method:　　　　　　　　

Split the top capacity of this disk into a small splitter slot and place the partition slot with the directory of the system boot file

Together, that is the/boot directory! It's going to work out! It's simple! In fact, the point is: "will start the magnetic zone

The partition Groove specification is less than 1024 magnetic columns ~ "Can!" How do we do that? Very simple, in the installation of the

, three magnetic regions are planned, namely:

/boot
/
Swap
that/boot as long as give 100M bytes around can! and boot to the front of the entire drive!
