Fedora OS Installation Guide

Fedora OS Installation Guide  :

hi friends ,

               i have successfully install Fedora OS into my system. here with i have given the Fedora OS basic installation guide. ( while installing OS directly into your hard disk take care of your hard disk partitioning, other wise use virtual box software to install it)


Requirements :

Hardware:
     Minimum Requirements:
   – 700 Mhz X86 Processor
   – 384 MB of system memory (RAM)
   – 40 GB of disk space
   – Graphics card capable of 1024*768 resolution
   – Sound Card
   – Network or Internet Connection


Step1:

           Download the Fedora 14 Live GNOME iso image from Click here to download FEDORA 14-1686 Live Desktop , for Latest version Fedora 15 Click here Live CD DVD

Step 2 :

          Burn it onto a CD, and boot your computer from it. It will boot into a live Fedora 14 desktop that you can use to test how Fedora 14 works on your system.

At the login prompt, select Automatic Login:


This is how the live desktop looks. You can now play around with it if you like.

Step 3 :  ( Before doing this step make sure u have prior knowledge of installing OS and hard disk partitioning , other wise try to install OS using  the Virtual Box Software ) *

 If you are sure that you want to install Fedora 14 on your hard drive, click on Install to Hard Drive:



The Fedora Installer starts. Click on Next:



Select your keyboard layout:


I assume that you use a locally attached hard drive, so you should select Basic Storage Devices here:


If you see the following message (Error processing drive: [...] This device may need to be reinitialized. REINITIALIZING WILL CAUSE ALL DATA TO BE LOST!), please click on Re-initialize:


You can leave the hostname as is and click on Next:


Select your time zone:


Type in a root password (twice to verify it):


The default partitioning is ok, so you can hit Next:


Confirm by clicking on Write changes to disk:


The installation starts. This can take a few minutes:


The installation is complete. Click on Close...


... and reboot the system - go to System > Shut Down...
 

... and select Restart. Don't forget to remove the Live CD from the CD drive before the system boots again!


If the system is booting for the first time, the first boot wizard comes up. Click on Forward...


... and accept the license.


Then add a regular user account to the system (I'm creating the user falko here):


Select Synchronize date and time over the network and click on Forward (with the network time protocol (NTP) your computer can fetch the current time from a time server over the Internet, so you don't have to adjust the system clock every few weeks):


On the next screen you can send details about your hardware to the Fedora project to help them develop the software. It's up to you whether you want to submit these details or not:


 

Now that we are finished with the first boot wizard, we can log into our new desktop with the user we've just created:




This is how your new Fedora 14 desktop looks:


3 Update The System

Now it's time to check for updates. Go to System > Administration > Software Update:




The Software Update wizard comes up and checks for the latest updates. Click on Install Updates to install them:


Afterwards the updates are being downloaded and installed:


You might need to confirm the update again:




Click on OK afterwards - your computer is now up to date (in some cases, e.g. if a new kernel got installed, you might have to restart your computer for the changes to take effect - if this is necessary, the Software Update wizard will tell you to do so):


4 Disable SELinux

SELinux is a security extension of Fedora that should provide extended security. In my opinion you don't need it to configure a secure system, and it usually causes more problems than advantages (think of it after you have done a week of trouble-shooting because some service wasn't working as expected, and then you find out that everything was ok, only SELinux was causing the problem). Therefore I choose disable it, although you might prefer to go with it. I haven't tested this setup with SELinux enabled - it might well be that it works without problems, but if it does not, you can try to turn SELinux off and see if the problem is gone.

To disable SELinux, open a terminal (Applications > System Tools > Terminal)...


... and become root:

su 

Open /etc/sysconfig/selinux...

gedit /etc/sysconfig/selinux

... and set SELINUX to disabled:

# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
#       enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
#       permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
#       disabled - SELinux is fully disabled.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are:
#       targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected.
#       strict - Full SELinux protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted

To make the change effective, we must reboot the system:

reboot


If you find any flaws in this inform to me .....
