I cannot see any option to install centOS 5.6 from live CD to hard drive on the desktop. Can anybody provide me with the steps for this.
I have an AMD 64x2 with 3 GB of memory.
It's been a while since I downloaded or installed Linux. I used to download a DVD non-live version and it was pretty straight forward but now with Fed 12 all I can get is a live version. Can you install from that?
Also, what is the difference between the KDE version and the non.
I've recent begun to want to create a spin of Fedora for my high school to offer as an alternative to Mac OS X and Windows. My first attempt with any distro was to try and use Suse Studio, however nothing with packages that I downloaded myself would successfully compile. I then thought that I might try and use some sort of local program do create it with and tried Revisor, however when I made Live Media, Xorg wouldn't start and when I made DVD Install Media the kernel would kernel panic every time on boot.
Is there anyway to solve the problem with Revisor or are there any alternatives?
I have also tried using Ubuntu with the Ubuntu Customization Kit however that didn't work either considering I have to have it in a virtual machine.
I try to install by clicking "Install to Hard Drive" icon on the desktop, but it's not responding. And then i try '/usr/bin/liveinst' and i got the following error :
Code:
umount: /media/*: not found

This usb-memory-stick loaded wtih fedora11 and 4GB space for persistence runs nicely
When I click install icon and choose "shrink other partitions" or "use free space for installing", it aborts.I've tried installing on C hard drive and on 300GB-usb-disk with lots of free space; still won't work

My Sun w2100z isn't letting me install F10-x86_64-Live CD.
I get the following error whenever I try to boot from the cd. It loops forever...
Any suggestions other then using the full Fedora 10 DVD/CD Media?
So lets start with my laptop. I am currently running windows vista 64-bit and I usually experiment with linux on a virtual machine but I decided to try and put it on as a dual boot os. I have x3 320gb hdd (7200rpm) on raid5, x2 1gb nvidia gtx go running sli, 8gb ram, 2.8ghz core2 quad, and random other things that aren't important. Point is that my system should run anything I throw at it.
So I downloaded Fedora 11 from a torrent and burned the iso to a disk. When I run it, it pretends its going to run it, it comes up with a log and loads stuff and all. But then it just hangs.. it doesn't do anything, no live starts, no nothing. Its just a blank screen with a blinking underscore in the top left "_" so I type and my typing shows up and thats it. Any other time I've used Linux I've never had to put in a command or anything to start, so I don't know what the problem is.
i am not sure where to post this issue since i am using RC4 of FC12 so posting it here.I am using the Live-CD to install FC12-RC4, it is gnome x86_64. The issue is as follows:I never had this with OpenSuSE. Mandriva & Ubuntu all of which is the latest release. Why the installer has to initialize the hard disk?
View 9 Replies View RelatedFor the last two releases I've used pre-upgrade ( F11>F12>F13 ). While F13 is working OK it's showing one or two minor glitches, such as the odd hang and sometimes part of the Gnome taskbar doesn't load. I realise these may be just F13 issues, but in case they're due to accumulated errors in two updates I'm planning to back up and do a clean install of F14 - once the feeding frenzy has died down.
The question, as posed in the title, is whether to D/L the full DVD or install from a live CD and add the apps I need. For instance, I don't need to network with my other computers - data transfer is by ' sneakernet ' with a pen drive - and I'm sure there's quite a bit else I can live without which the standard DVD install will contain, such as chat. Conversely, I'll be installing some extras such as Google Earth using AutoX.So basically, will installing from a live CD be any real benefit or will I just be making work fro myself? I frequently notice updates which don't seem to have much to do with the apps I use regularly, but they may contain essential dependencies.
I have downloaded the live media for Fedora 14 to an 11gb partition of my hard drive. After that I cannot figure out how to install it. I have previously had ubuntu linux earlier this year, but had a bad experience when I downloaded a boot loader for it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed a copy of Fedora 13 onto my HDD yesterday and everything went fine until, for some reason, it stopped working. (Got stuck at the white bar while booting up). Well, I wasn't sure what the problem was so I decided to run the live CD again (which *is* a good CD, unless it somehow managed to destroy itself since yesterday) and I get "Could not mount root filesystem," sleeping forever. Hm.I haven't changed any of the hardware, and all the connections seem to still be good, so, I dunno... Any ideas on what could be the problem? Thanks in advance for any input.:UPDATE:Now my computer simply displays a list of repeating errors, each one like:Quote:

i have a hp dv6707us with windows vista and i'm trying to install fedora 10 x86_64 from a live cd, when i try to use the live cd it shows a screen saying that it will boot after 10 seconds, then appears a black screen with a loading bar with fedora 10 word next to it when the bar becomes completely white along with the word fedora 10 it doesnt happens anything and any indication of what could be wrong then i type enter and it reads the live cd for a while then a black screen with a blinking cursor appears and yet nothing happens i wait until i get bored and cancel the all the process.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently started trying fedora 10 out on live cd (in my case usb ) and loving it. I want to install it, should I get the dvd image, or would it be okay for me to just install off live cd (usb) and install whatever I want through the package manager later... Why/why not? Also on live usb, I can't find the package manager under applications.
View 7 Replies View RelatedThis is my Fedora 11 installation review:The pc (cd2, 7600gs, 2gb ram) boots ok from any of the many Fedora live cd/dvd.After booting it goes to a nice window with a (3 colored flashing forward motion) tollbar at the bottom, where the words Generic 11 are written at the bottom right.
So far so good: no questions to answer, the Dvd is speaning out loud. 2 min later the above mentioned screen changes into a b&w verbose mode sreen.After a dozen of written lines, where the last one says "bridge firewalling ..." the drive noise gradually extinguishes, its red light turns off, the b&w verbose screen dies and even the Pc looks like dead too. Could be waiting here until next day, nothing more happens. So, I do various alt/ctrl/del, until the Cd/dvd (liteon) ejects and the pc reboots.
This is really CRAZZY. Lately I'v been trying many different distribution installations and this never happened. It's equal with any of the many fedora live cd/dvd's, window manager's, 32/64 bit. I did try last week, 2weeks before, today.... and did also try fedora Omega but is the same result at the end.I wonder if this is just me, missing some Fedora fundamental specific thing, or if ithis has happened to some of you.I browsed and searched but this looks like an uncommon issue, as I didn't find nothing similar.
I've installed Fedora to dual-boot with Ubuntu. I'm using /dev/sda1 for Ubuntu, and /dev/sda3 for Fedora. Unfortunately, I unchecked the "Install boot loader" checkbox, so I still have the Ubuntu boot loader but no way to boot Fedora. While still logged into the Fedora Live CD, how can I install the Fedora boot loader to /dev/sda3 and set it up to chainload from Ubuntu's GRUB menu? (I'm thinking it would be 'grub-install /dev/sda3' as root, and then just edit /dev/sda1:/boot/grub/menu.lst, but I'd like confirmation.)

2. Does F 14 have native support for NVIDIA 5100m card? This is the card present on my laptop its based of the Quadro 880 chip
I meddled a bit with the PAE kernel and tried to install the driver off the nvidia website and now the system does even boot..
Is it possible to install the fedora 14 live to the hard disk and how?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was able to install Fedora 10 from the Live KDE CD, however I can't boot it.
I placed it on /dev/hda4 of an IDE disk, while on /dev/hda1 I have a RedHat 9 Linux, /home is on /dev/hda2 and the swap is on /dev/hda3. I'm not sure if RedHat 9 and Fedora 10 can coexist on the same HD.
There's an option in the Live KDE CD boot install, which allows one to select:
boot from hard disk:
Do you know what to type in in order to direct Fedora to boot from /dev/hda4 (who may be /dev/sda4 as seen by Fedora)?
P.S. For the time being, I want to forget about Grub or LILO and see if I can boot it this way first. I have LILO working, it boots Windows from a separate disk and RedHat 9 from /dev/hda1.
Fedora Core 8 did not recognize my Geforce 7150M display adapter (in a HP DV6000 laptop), neither did Fedora Core 10 I tried yesterday although this laptop is now already over one year old (I have used Vista because it works out of the box but it sucks as you might have guessed). That could be something I'd like to complain about but I choose not to, I simply want to know how to install Fedora 10 from a live CD (that is all I have now, no DVDs and not too much cash to buy some..) Live CD boots and I can access command line. If I have understood correctly, Nvidia proprietary driver supports my display adapter but it is not included in live cd so I could use X after installation. Problem is that I don't know how to successfully run the installer from text mode. I tried to execute 'anaconda' but it cannot find packages to install when it comes to that. There seem to be no instructions how to install from a live CD that I could find using Google. For sure someone knows what command to execute to begin installation?

I am now log-in as live user, but I can't find the shotcut for installation on desktop "install to hard drive" but using the terminal, there's a file under Desktop, 'liveinst.desktop" I tried running it, graphical installation will appear, but during copying to hard disk, it says bad media.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to install from the Live CD. I read the sticky about needing a /boot and a / partition. I think that sticky applies to me but I'm not sure; once the Live CD loads, I click the "Install to Hard Drive" icon on the desktop. It thinks for awhile but ultimately doesn't display anything.What I'm not sure about is how exactly I go about making those partitions. My current HD is a Ubuntu system (Karmic Koala), and its network slowness has prompted me to try FC12. I've backed up everything already, I don't need to preserve anything on the existing drive.
I'm looking for the easiest way to get FC12 installed. Should I fool with the partitions? I just download a different install CD i.e. a non-Live one? If so, which one? Do I need all 5 or so CD images? I don't have a DVD burner so downloading the DVD isn't an option. I'm comfortable working from a Linux command line once the system is working, but I don't have much experience "close to the metal" i.e. actually getting a system up and running.
Just did a fresh install of F12 on the D600, and a couple of problems. The network was working during the install, but after does not see ethernet nor wireless.
The only straying I did from a default install was to manually create partitions, making one for swap and the rest is / on ext4. Seemed fine installing and booting.
Also the touchpad and mouse settings are messed up, buttons reversed, click events from the touchpad showing "clickdown" but not acting as if the click was released.
ONE BIG COMPLAINT: I see selinux doesn't come with an easy way to disable. How is it disabled with F12?
For now I'm in a hurry, so I'm going back to F11 - past OS installing and booting ok include Ubuntu 8.04, 9.10, F5, F7, F9, F10 and XP to name a few.
I'm using Fedora 15 and i want to install Ubunto 11.04 using live usb and then the two linux systems to be on my computer.note:first fedora 15 is to be installed
