Red Hat Linux 9 initial installation Configuration

Unfortunately a few days ago, I saw an nvdriver
The "latest version" of Linux graphics card driver is downloaded and installed in text mode. The I/O error is displayed after restart.
Window. I couldn't figure out the version of my original driver, So I simply reinstalled Linux. Although RedHat
The Linux suite is very comprehensive, but it is really difficult to fully meet everyone's requirements. Therefore, to make the cute Linux more cute, we need to configure the newly installed Linux. I will post some configurations that I think are necessary for your reference.

It is very simple and complete in the KDE graphic environment:

I. Create a personalized Linux

1. In the K menu-> preferences-> desktop setting wizard, you can select the country/Language/system behavior mode/visual effect and topic

2. Then, you can use the appearance of the KDE control center and the options in the topic to customize the KDE.

3. preferences-> the configuration panel allows you to configure the taskbar.

4. system settings-> the logon screen allows you to change the graphical logon screen.

II. Internet access

First, make sure that the device you use to access the Internet has been installed in Linux. Common devices can be automatically identified in Linux, but the compatibility with inner cats is not good.

Then, according to the specific configuration of your Internet access method.

Dial-up Internet access: Choose K> Internet> more Internet applications.ProgramThere is a dial-up tool kppp. After running kppp, set the device in the kppp Configuration window.
Select your modem on the tab, click the new button on the account tab, and then click set in the dialog box. In the displayed dialog box, you can set the dialing phone number, IP address, gateway, and DNS.

ADSL leased line: K menu-> system settings-> network, click the new button, select the XDSL connection point, and then follow the wizard settings.

Lan LAN mode: K menu-> system settings-> network, select the correct network adapter (eth0, eth1, and so on), and click the edit button to configure.

3. NTFS partitions are supported.

If your windows partition has the NTFS format, you can compile the kernel to enable Linux to support the NTFS format, but the simplest way is to install the RPM package that supports NTFS.

To http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/11/vendor/1620
Download the rpm for the appropriate kernel, and my rh9 is the kernel-ntfs-2.4.20-8.i686.rpm. Right-click and choose here in the shortcut menu to open the terminal. Enter rpm in the terminal
-IVH kernel-ntfs-2.4.20-8.i686.rpm. (Rpm is the command for installing the RPM package, parameter I is the information about the display package, V
To display the Command Execution Process, H lists the labels when the software package is buried)

4. Mount Windows partitions

In the LINUX partition representation, the hard disk is HD,
The first hard disk is hda, and the second is HDB. A hard disk can be divided into up to four primary partitions: DOS primary partition, DOS extended partition, Linux Root partition, and Linux swap partition.
Partition. The four primary partitions are represented by numbers. For the first hard disk, hda1, hda2, hda3, and hda4. logical partitions can also be divided into extended partitions, labels are arranged in sequence from 5 to 5.
In Windows, drive C is the primary DOS partition, which is hda1. Drive D is generally the first logical partition on the extended DOS partition, which is hda5, drive E is hda6, and F is hda7. In
In Linux, you can use the mount command to mount a Windows partition to a folder (this folder is called a mount point), and then you can access the Windows partition through this folder
As a shortcut. For example, attach a C Disk

Create a new winc directory in the/mnt/directory first

Enter Mount-T vfat/dev/hda1/mnt/winc-O codePage = 936 on the terminal
Iocharset = 936 (where-T indicates the file system of the specified device, vfat indicates the fat16 and FAT32 File System formats of windows,-O indicates the option when loading the file system, and codePage = 936
Iocharset = 936 indicates that Linux can display the Chinese characters in the mounted partition normally)

If you want to automatically load windows partitions at startup, you can modify the fstab file under/etc/in the format of/dev/hda1/mnt/winc vfat.
Defaults, codePage = 936, iocharset = cp936 save and restart.

My fstab content is as follows:

Label = // ext3 defaults 1 1

None/dev/PTS devpts gid = 5, mode = 620 0 0

None/proc defaults 0 0

None/dev/SHM tmpfs defaults 0 0

/Dev/hdb2 swap defaults 0 0

/Dev/CDROM/mnt/cdrom udf, iso9660 noauto, owner, kudzu, RO 0 0

/Dev/fd0/mnt/Floppy auto noauto, owner, kudzu 0 0

/Dev/sda1/mnt/USB vfat noauto 0 0

/Dev/hda1/mnt/winc NTFS defaults 0 0

/Dev/hda5/mnt/wind vfat defaults, codePage = 936, iocharset = cp936 0 0

/Dev/hda6/mnt/wine vfat defaults, codePage = 936, iocharset = cp936 0 0

/Dev/hda7/mnt/winf NTFS defaults 0 0

In addition, use the Mount-T iso9660-o loop name. The ISO mount point can directly use an ISO file, and 8 needs to use a virtual optical drive like windows.

5. Mount a worried Disk

In Linux, the worry disk is used as a SCSI device. before mounting the USB flash disk, first confirm the name of the USB flash disk device and enter dmesg on the terminal.

View more, my is sda1

Create mount point/mnt/USB

Mount it with Mount-T vfat/dev/sda1/mnt/USB, or add/dev/sda1/mnt/USB to fstab.
Vfat defaults 0 0 is automatically mounted upon startup, but the defaults parameter is used. If the USB flash drive is not inserted at startup, an error is returned.

So I added/dev/sda1/mnt/USB vfat noauto 0 to fstab.
0, and then create a new hard disk device link on the desktop. On the device tab of The Link Properties, select/dev/sda1 (/mnt/USB) for semi-automatic mounting. If you want to use a USB flash drive later, you only need to click this link.

Sat. Installation Input Method

Take the installation of penguin Input Method fcitx-1.8.5-1.noarch.rpm as an example:

Go to http://www.fcitx.org/download fcitx-1.8.5-1.noarch.rpm

Uninstall rh9 built-in Input Method: rpm-e chinput (-E is the uninstall package)

Install fcitx: rpm-IVH fcitx-1.8.5-1.noarch.rpm -- nodeps -- force
(My RPM package is in the/root directory. -- nodeps does not check the dependency of the software package, and -- force forcibly adds the package)

Go to the/usr/bin directory: CD/usr/bin

Create a gwubi link: ln-s fcitx gwubi

Restart

Note: fcitx input special symbols test http://www.fcitx.org/doc/wb_fh.htm

7. Play MP3

The rh9 release removes support for some copyrighted functions. Therefore, the newly installed rh9 cannot play MP3, and even the famous xmms player cannot be spared. So what we need to do is install a player that can be used for MP3.

Take xmms as an Example

Download
Xmms-mp3-1.2.7-13.p.i386.rpm

Install: rpm-IVH xmms-mp3-1.2.7-13.p.i386.rpm -- nodeps -- force

Or install http://www.linuxfans.org/nuke/modules.php? Name = site_downloads & OP = geninfo & did = 807.

8. Use QQ in Linux

To http://www.linuxeden.com/download/softdetail.php? Download softid = 858
Gaim-0.62-2.i386.rpm

Download To http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/redhat/9/gtkspell/
Gtkspell-2.0.4-fr3.i386.rpm

First uninstall the gaim0.59: rpm-e Gaim that comes with RH.

Installation gtkspell-2.0.4-fr3.i386.rpm: rpm-IVH gtkspell-2.0.4-fr3.i386.rpm
-- Nodeps -- force

Install gaim-0.62-2.i386.rpm: rpm-IVH gaim-0.62-2.i386.rpm -- nodeps -- force

K menu-> Internet-> more Internet applications-> Gaim

Click "all accounts" and click "add". In the "Modify account" dialog box, select "QQ" as the Protocol and set the account and password. Click "online" in the "Edit Account" menu to go online.

You can also add more accounts, such as me. Once you open GAIM, you will automatically log on to one QQ/Two MSN and one ICQ.

Finally, do not forget to change the Enter key to send the message to Ctrl + enter in the tool menu> Settings> shortcut key. In this case, the message is sent when you press enter to enter English.

9. Two common software
