General :: Install Fedora 14 On Netbook Using A Network PXE Server On Laptop?
Feb 20, 2011
I'm trying to install Fedora 14 on my netbook using a network PXE server on my laptop. I can see in the syslog, that initrd.img and vmlinuz get sent over tftp. The problem seems to be in my kernel parameters:
LABEL fedora14-EFI-boot-i386
kernel /images/fedora14-EFI-boot-i386/vmlinuz0
MENU LABEL fedora14-EFI-boot-i386
append initrd=/images/fedora14-EFI-boot-i386/initrd0.img ksdevice=bootif lang= kssendmac text ks=http://192.168.2.1/cblr/svc/op/ks/profile/fedora14-EFI-boot-i386 selinux=0
ipappend 2
On booting up the netbook it can't find a root device. I'm not sure what to specify for the root= because I have deleted all the partitions on /dev/sda. I did this because originally it kept booting up the old OS, and I assumed there was a way to format the disk as part of the install. I'm stuck now and was hoping someone with more experience of bootloaders might be able to help. If possible I'd like to do this using the network rather than a usb.

I cannot connect my netbook to the vessel network... so much of my installations are done offline. That being said, I've been doing a lot with conky lately. Wanting to install conkemail via the .deb... it shows that a dependency is not fulfilled when the Ubuntu Software Center opens up... conkykeyring. So I downloaded the conkykeyring .deb, installed it. In the Conky Companions PPA area of "Installed Software" it does indeed now show that conkykeyring is installed. However, conkyemail still will not install and still shows the dependency is not satisfied.

I have just purchased an Asus EeePC 1001HA netbook and I would like to install Ubuntu Netbook Edition 9.10 (love the look and the brilliant interface), but I can't get the wireless network to work. I am currently running from a 4Gb USB stick that has the LiveCD on it with a 1Gb persistence. The network notification area only shows wired and VPN connections. I have tried installing the Ralink 3090 driver but I have had no luck in getting the wireless to work.

i want to do linux installation on client machine from server.
i configured NFS server. i actually installed all 5 CD's to one directory. these are not iso images.
i created directory /serverimage and inside this i created directory for each linux cd. i.e linuxcd1, linuxcd2 and so on ..
now my directory structure is :
cd /serverimage
ls
linuxcd1
linuxcd2
linuxcd3
linuxcd4
linuxcd5
now i exported /serverimage in /etc/exports
but when i boot my client machine with the first linux cd. and using linux askmethod
i selected NFS. i entered ip address for nfs server and directory as /serverimage
but it is not taking. saying unable to mount.
shall i create .iso images. i dont want to use .iso images since i want to configure yum repository later once client is installed. i dont know if yum repository can be installed using iso images on the server. so i just copied cdrom to directories to share it via nfs.

I am installing Ubuntu Server 10.10 on and old Dell Laptop. The network connection is an Xircom PCMCIA card.During install, the computer sees and interacts via the network just fine. For example, I can ping the gateway. Also, the command "lspcmcia" works and show the Xircom card.When I reboot, however, there is no network access, and the "lspcmcia" command is not there. When I try "lspcmcia" the OS helpfully tells me that I can "apt-get" pcmciautils, but, without network access, that fails.I tried adding the install cdrom to apt using "apt-cdrom" and then tried to "apt-get" pcmciautils and it got further, installing some dependencies, but acted like it still was unable to locate the pcmciautils package.

Why i cant change from 800x480 to 1024x600, that this model of EEE pc doesnt support anything higher than 800x480 at the 10:1 ratio...
Firstly my question is, is it ACTUALLY possible to 'overclock' this type of netbook to run a higher res?
Im running ubtuntu netbook remix 10.04 and am new to linux (again, so sorry) so be nice, and ive tried getting my head around this 'sudo' stuff, and the xorg.conf file (which is nowhere to be found) and ive even tried a program calld astray but im pretty sure ive exhausted my patience as trying to self-teach . . .
And ive also tried to much around with xrandr or whatever that command was.. but i cant really get my head around it, and it kept telling me the resolution didnt exist ect...

I will install Ubvuntu 10.10 in my netoobk, which came with a 320 GB HD already partitioned, 100GB with W7 and 220 just formatted.I wish to install Ubuntu in the 220 GB partition, the question is, where will be the boot loader (with the options Windows 7 or Linux Ubuntu 10.10) be should be installed?I'm running the U10.10 Live CD for installation, in Allocated drive space, options are:
1. Install alongside other operating systems
2. Erase and use the entire disk
3. Specify partitions manually (advanced)
I chose Ext4, then mount point as "/", right?Then it says "you have not selected any partitions for use as swap space..."Only if I select /dev/sda, the New partition table buttons is enabled, when clicked,"You have selected an entire device to partition, if you proceed...then all current partitions will be removed"

I have a mainly windows house with a notebook running Fedora 11. The problem is that when this computer is on the wireless network it shows no computers on the network. It gives me the error that it can't retrieve the shared list from server. However when I am using it on the wired part of the same network it will see all of the other computers. I was wondering if anyone here could shed light on what might be going on. I am not sure if it is a setting on the computer or something to do with the router. However I don't think it has anything to do with the router because I have windows laptops that run on the same wireless access point and have no problem

do you have any suggestions how I can install Ubuntu netbook edition on an old Laptop (Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook 2131) currently running Windows 2000 with all servicepacks (if I recall correctly it is SP5) without boot-support for USB-Stick/Media, CD-ROM, PXE/netboot; booting is only supported from builtin harddisk and from floppy-disk drive, which is definitely broken. (with working floppy disk drive all would be fine). I also installed WUBI, but the harddisk is only 4 GB, so I had to use the USB-Stick as the Ubuntu install partition and this is not supported by the Laptop as it cannot boot from it.
Has anybody an idea, is it viable to online-resize an NTFS-partition to create a small linux-partition for bootstrapping the install?? I do not want to, it's still useful, so when crashing the NTFS-filesystem is likely I prefer not to take this route and leave the laptop with Win2k installed.

I have Linux mint 8 iso and would like to install it on an Asus eee machine, for light web surfing and perhaps a movie only. I have istalled Linux mandrake once ages ago and red hat once too. The only other machine I have is a bigger netbook on vista, if I can get Linux working on the smaller then use it on my bigger machine too. Is it possible to use an USB HSDPA modem using mint on this netbook?

Since I installed fedora on my desktop (there is no other OS on my desktop computer at the moment) I can't connect to my laptop which has Windows XP installed on it, although I can normally connect to internet from both computers. Here is the drawing to illustrate how everything is connected:
On the picture you can see that the phone line goes to the ADSL modem. The ADSL modem is connected to the Wireless modem with LAN cable. Wireless modem is connected to my desktop computer with LAN cable, and trough the wireless connection to the laptop. Internet is working fine for both computers, but desktop can't see laptop and vice versa. What do I need to do in order to see the laptop?
