1. prepared to install the source to the official website to download the Fedora-15-i386-DVD.iso (many people under the liveCD version, it is recommended that beginners under this version, when the time to install can all choose to install, avoid a lot of things missing in future use), put it under D: \ (according to your actual situation, this requires that the partition must be in the fat32 format ), and extract the images folder in the CD image to E: \.

1. Prepare the installation Source

Download Fedora-15-i386-DVD.iso to the official website (many people are liveCD version, it is recommended that beginners under this version, when the installation can be all choose to install, to avoid the lack of a lot of things in the future ), enter D: \ (according to your actual situation, the partition must be in fat32 format), and extract the images folder from the image to E :\, the installation source is ready.

2. Set startup

(1) download grub4dos, replace grldr, grldr. mbr, grub.exe, menu. lst decompress the package to the C root directory and extract initrd from the image. img and vmlinuz files to the C root directory.

(2) Add the following content to menu. lst in the C root directory:

Title fedora 15
Kernel (hd0, 0)/vmlinuz linux askmethod
Initrd (hd0, 0)/initrd. img
Boot

Note: There are many sayings on the Internet in this area. I have tried several methods, and finally this method was successful. This method prompts you to select the partition of the fedora15 CD image during installation to avoid installation failure due to the absence of network connection.

(3) Open cmd and enter bcdedit/create/d "fedora"/application bootsector. A tag similar to {89d9317d-9b10-11df-8af7-faa3bfca45b5} appears. create a New grub. bat batch. Edit:
Bcdedit/set {8d94d316-db72-11df-b0b1-d9e7752560fb} device partition = C:
Bcdedit/set {8d94d316-db72-11df-b0b1-d9e7752560fb} path \ grldr. mbr
Bcdedit/displayorder {8d94d316-db72-11df-b0b1-d9e7752560fb}/addlast

Pause

After editing, it can be stored on the desktop.

(4) double-click to run grub. bat. The grub boot guide is OK.

3. restart and select "fedora" To Go To The fedora15 installation page. At this time, you will be prompted to select the partition where the fedora15 CD image is located. For example, I only have one hard disk, if I place the fedora15 CD image in the root directory of the d disk, I can select sda5, so that I will not be prompted to install it online.

4. Delete unnecessary startup items

After the installation, the win7 and fedora15 dual systems are finished, but the "fedora" menu is left in the startup items of win7. I deleted it by using the optimization master in win7, delete the files that were previously put into drive C and the installation source (this part is based on your requirements ).

After two hours, the installation was completed.
