RHEL5.5 and Fedora13 dual-system installation

Two days ago, I finally got the RHEL5.5 and Fedora13 dual systems. Both systems are actually RedHat, which is very similar. Why should I install them? Just curious. the installation steps are as follows. If you are interested, you can refer to them. After all, these two systems are released in February. They are relatively new, and there are still few online related items, hope to help some people to make some detours .. i. First, prepare the RHEL5.5 installation disk.

Two days ago, I finally got the RHEL5.5 and Fedora 13 dual systems. The two systems are actually RedHat, which is very similar. Why should I install them? Just curious. the installation steps are as follows. If you are interested, you can refer to them. After all, these two systems are released in February. They are relatively new, and there are still few online related items, hope to help some people to make some detours ..

I. First, prepare the RHEL5.5 installation disk. There are a lot of image files on the internet, download them, and then dial the disk. These should be clear. I will not repeat them here. We need to install RHEL5.5 first, installation with an installation disk should be the simplest method (hard disk installation is much complicated and network installation is not recommended ). there will also be a ora13 image file, which can be installed on a hard disk (you can save a DVD Euro ).

2. Put the RHEL5.5 installation disk into the optical drive to start installation. The installation process is simple and boring. It is worth noting that do not forget to leave space for Fedora13 during partitioning.

3. After installing RHEL5.5, copy the Fedora13 image to/home (we recommend that you use another directory), decompress it to this directory, and then perform a very critical step to copy grub. copy the hidden title of conf (that is, the content under hidden titles). Do not copy a letter to the wrong euro, and then edit/root/grub. conf file. open the file and add the following statement at the end:

Title install Fedora13

Root (hd0, 1) (Note: The numbers after the comma must be the same as the extracted directory. Generally, the/home directory is sd2, and this number should be 1, /The root directory is generally sd1, Which is 0 in grub. the last 4th or 5 lines of the conf file can be seen .)

Kernel/isolinux/vmlinuz

Initrd/isolinux/initrd. img

Save the close file. Otherwise, you cannot install Fedora13 and restart your computer.

4. When you restart your computer, you will see install Fedora13 in the boot menu. Press enter To Go To The Fedora13 installation page, and the rest will work properly, the installation process is very simple (note that you must re-create a swap partition. Two systems cannot share one swap partition ).

5. After installation, edit/root/grub. conf file. Otherwise, the RHEL5.5 system cannot be accessed. However, this file cannot be opened in the graphic interface at this time. What should I do? Right. Use the terminal and command. The detailed command is as follows:

(As root)

Cd/root/grub

Vi grub. conf

Then press I to start editing.

Add the copied RHEL5.5 hidden titles to the open file, click "q" to exit editing, enter "wq (pay attention to the colon)" to save and exit, and enter "reboot" to restart the computer.

6. When the computer restarts, the boot menu will appear. Select different boot menus and enter different systems. Congratulations, RHEL5.5 and Fedora13 dual systems are all completed here.
