XP FEDORA8 Transformation

XP transformation FEDORA8-general Linux technology-Linux technology and application information. The following is a detailed description. Author: Wuxiang

Finally, I gave up XP (it took a year to die slowly) and changed it to fc8. In the past, FC6 was installed on T23, and 9beta was not used immediately. First, the official version was required. Second, although the linux system is often used for work reasons, it is still not as familiar as win, I have been worried about the driver problem of liunx.

Install the hardware IBM T40. Objective:
1. Meet all work needs
2. Existing resources on XP can be completely transferred.
3. Meet entertainment needs. You can watch rmvb and play games.

Start the installation. Put the fc8 CD into the optical drive. gnome is installed by default. The firewall and SELINUX are turned off, and the development and server are selected, which takes about one hour.

I have been worried about the driver problem of the Wi-Fi network card. I am very satisfied! (Although it was found on the internet that FC7 was installed on T41 and there was no driver problem, I was still worried.) The networkmanage service was successfully accessed over wireless!

After the dual-display is set, xwindow cannot start. The dual-display configuration fails, but it does not matter.

Next there is the update problem. More than 200 packages need to be upgraded, and the progress bar remains in the semi-dead state for a long time. It is slow!

Using yumex for update, the slow problem is slightly improved, but it is still not so happy. The maximum value is about 30 kb. If a large package such as open office can be upgraded, it will not be upgraded.

After four hours of data copying, we found that the original Chinese name was garbled. Next, I went online to find a solution: convmv appeared.

Convmv-f code1-t code2-r

Code1: used character set encoding for partitioning. Supports gb2312, gbk, big5, does not support gb18030 and big5-hkscs.

Code2: Pre-converted character set encoding. For FC, enter utf8 here

-R parameter: the conversion subdirectory.

Dir: directory to be converted. The current directory is represented.

Press enter to run the video. At this time, the convmv will display the execution result, but the file will not be modified. The system also prompts you to use the -- notest parameter for modification.

After the name is installed, the problem with the original data is solved. For msn and qq problems, pidgin solves; ekiga solves voip Terminal problems. Wireshark-gnome solves the packet capture tool problem. The original special window program, wine, is initially resolved (the MFC42.dll file needs to be admitted ).

Now, the original outlook express emails are forwarded to EVOLUTION, the favorites folder is forwarded to firefox, and the USB-to-COM problem will be resolved in the future.
