Fedora DVD ISO image is a large file.

If you intend to download the Fedora DVD ISO image, keep in mind that not all file downloading tools can accommodate files larger than 2 GiB in size. The programs wget 1.9.1-16 and above, curl, and ncftpget do not have this limitation, and can successfully download files larger than 2 GiB. BitTorrent is another method for downloading large files. For information about obtaining and using the torrent file, refer to http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/.

Anaconda asks if it should verify the installation medium when Install or upgrade an existing system is selected during boot from an installation-only media.

For Fedora Live media, press any key during the initial boot countdown, to display a boot option menu. Select Verify and boot to perform the media test. Installation media can be used to verify Fedora Live media. Anaconda asks during the mediacheck if you want to check any other disc than the one Anaconda is running from. To test additional media, select eject to eject the inserted medium, then replace it with the medium you want to test instead.

Perform this test for any new installation or live medium.

The Fedora Project strongly recommends that you perform this test before reporting any installation-related bugs. Many of the bugs reported are actually due to improperly-burned CD or DVDs.

In rare cases, the testing procedure may report some usable discs as faulty. This result is often caused by disc writing software that does not include padding when creating discs from ISO files.

	BitTorrent Automatically Verifies File Integrity.
	If you use BitTorrent, any files you download are automatically validated. If your file completes downloading you do not need to check it. Once you burn your CD or DVD, however, you should still use mediacheck to test the integrity of the media.

Another reason for a failure during installation is faulty memory. To perform memory testing before you install Fedora, press any key to enter the boot menu, then select Memory Test. This option runs the Memtest86 standalone memory testing software in place of Anaconda. Memtest86 memory testing continues until you press the Esc key.

Fedora 10 supports graphical FTP and HTTP installations. However, the installer image must either fit in RAM or appear on local storage, such as the installation DVD or Live Media. Therefore, only systems with more than 192MiB of RAM or that boot from the installation DVD or Live Media can use the graphical installer. Systems with 192MiB RAM or less fall back to using the text-based installer automatically. If you prefer to use the text-based installer, type linux text at the boot: prompt.

2.1.4.3. Nadgradnja ili sveža instalacija

In general, fresh installations are recommended over upgrades. This is particularly true for systems that include software from third-party repositories. Third-party packages remaining from a previous installation may not work as expected on an upgraded Fedora system. If you decide to perform an upgrade anyway, the following information may be helpful:

Before you upgrade, back up the system completely. In particular, preserve /etc, /home, and possibly /opt and /usr/local if customized packages are installed there. You may want to use a multi-boot approach with a "clone" of the old installation on alternate partition(s) as a fallback. In that case, create alternate boot media, such as a GRUB boot floppy.

	Configuration backups
	Rezerve podešavanja u /etc su takođe korisne tokom obnavljanja sistemskih postavki posle sveže instalacije.

Posle završetka nadgradnje, pokrenite sledeću naredbu:

rpm -qa --last > RPMS_by_Install_Time.txt

Pregledajte kraj ispisa za pakete koji su prethodili nadgradnji. Uklonite ili ažurirajte pakete iz riznica sa strane, ili šta god je drugo potrebno. Neki prethodno instalirani paketi možda nisu više dostupni u podešenim riznicama. Za ispis svih takvih paketa upotrebite sledeću naredbu:

su -c 'yum list extras'

The Firstboot application requires the creation of a non-root user for the system. This is to support gdm no longer allowing the root user to log in to the graphical desktop.

If a network authentication mechanism is chosen during installation, Firstboot does not require creating a non-root local user.

To boot from the Fedora Live image, insert the media into your computer and restart. To log in and use the desktop environment, enter the username fedora. There is no password on this account. The GNOME-based Fedora Live images automatically login after one minute, so users have time to select a preferred language. After logging in, if you wish to install the contents of the Live image to your hard drive, click on the Install to Hard Drive icon on the desktop.

To check Fedora Live media, press any key during the initial boot countdown to display a boot option menu. Select Verify and boot to perform the media test.

Perform this test for any new Live medium.

Možete izvršiti instalaciju Živog otiska u tekstualnom režimu upotrebom liveinst naredbe u konzoli.

Another way to use these Fedora Live images is to put them on a USB stick. To do this, use the liveusb-creator graphical interface. Use Add/Remove Software to search for and install liveusb-creator, or to install using yum:

su -c 'yum install liveusb-creator'

Instead of the graphical tool, you can use the command line interface from the livecd-tools package. Then, run the livecd-iso-to-disk script:

/usr/bin/livecd-iso-to-disk /path/to/live.iso /dev/sdb1

Replace /dev/sdb1 with the partition where you want to put the image.

Ovo nije proces koji briše podatke; podaci koje trenutno imate na USB disku biće sačuvani.

A Windows version of this tools is also available that allows users to try out or migrate to Fedora.

Support for keeping a persistent /home with the rest of the system stateless has been added for Fedora 10. This includes support for encrypting /home to protect your system if your USB stick is lost or stolen. To use this feature, download the Live image and run the following command:

livecd-iso-to-disk --home-size-mb 512 /path/to/live.iso /dev/sdb1

Replace /dev/sdb1 with the partition where you want to put the image.

Replace 512 with the desired size in megabytes of the persistent /home. The livecd-iso-to-disk shell script is stored in the LiveOS directory at the top level of the CD image. The USB media must have sufficient free space for the Fedora Live image, plus the /home, plus any other data to be stored on the media. By default, this encrypts your data and prompts for a passphrase to use. If you want to have an unencrypted /home, then you can specify --unencrypted-home.

Note that later runs of livecd-iso-to-disk preserve the /home that is created on the USB stick, continuing to use it even if you change your Live image.

Support for persistent changes with a Fedora Live image exists for Fedora 9 and later. The primary use case is booting from a Fedora Live image on a USB flash drive and storing changes to that same device. To do this, download the Fedora Live image and then run the following command:

livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb 512 /path/to/live.iso /dev/sdb1

Replace /dev/sdb1 with the partition where you want to put the image.

Replace 512 with the desired size in megabytes of the persistent data, or overlay. The livecd-iso-to-disk shell script is stored in the LiveOS directory at the top level of the CD image. The USB media must have sufficient free space for the Fedora Live image, plus the overlay, plus any other data to be stored on the media.

Fedora 10 includes support for putting the Live image onto a USB image and then booting it on Intel processor-based Apple hardware. Unlike most x86 machines, this hardware requires reformatting the USB stick. To set up a USB stick, run this command:

/usr/bin/livecd-iso-to-disk --mactel /path/to/live.iso /dev/sdb1

Replace /dev/sdb1 with the partition where you want to put the image.

Note that all of the other arguments for the livecd-iso-to-disk tool as described above can be used here as well.

The Fedora Live image is different from a normal Fedora installation as shown below.

Sa http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ForbiddenItems:

RPM podržava paralelnu instalaciju više arhitektura istog paketa. Podrazumevani ispis paketa naredbom rpm -qa može naizgled da pokaže duplirane pakete, pošto se arhitektura ne prikazuje. Umesto nje, koristite naredbu repoquery, koja je deo paketa yum-utils, koja podrazumevano prikazuje arhitekturu. Da biste instalirali yum-utils, zadajte sledeću naredbu:

      su -c 'yum install yum-utils'
    

Za popis svih paketa sa njihovim arhitekturama koristeći rpm, pokrenite sledeću naredbu:

      rpm -qa --queryformat "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n"
    

Ova postavka menja podrazumevani upit za ispis arhitekture. Možete je dodati u /etc/rpm/macros (kao postavku za čitav sistem) ili ~/.rpmmacros (kao postavku za korisnika).

The GRUB menu is no longer shown at startup, except on dual-boot systems. To bring up the GRUB menu, hold the Shift key before the kernel is loaded. (Any other key works but the Shift key is the safest to use.)

Plymouth is the graphical boot up system debuting with Fedora 10.

Fedora 10 gets a faster boot from improvements in process start-up.

Kernel modesetting (KMS) can default to either enabled or disabled in the DRM driver and it can be enabled or disabled at boot-time.
