heres a fyi for any of you that may run into this problem,

 

if you are installing fedora core release 4 on a dual boot system (one with xp already installed) and after installing Fedora, you get nothing more than a flashing GRUB_ line then try the following:-

 

insert cd1, and type linux rescue at the prompt

 

Do you think that the verdict was fair? please leave a mesage of what you think was accurate / un accurate about the verdict...

Okay, I'm a total newbie, but I insist on learning linux. I wanted to try it out onlive cd first, so I downloaded and burned Knoppix.

 

When I boot into Knoppix I get: "not enough memory to start kde, 82 mb required."

 

then: "using tmw windowmanager instead. Not all programs in the left-mousebutton-menu will work here."

 

I am running an Intel with2.70Ghz, 248 mb ram

Hd has 121 Gb free space.

 

Anyone have any suggestions?

DIRECTORY ORGANIZATION

 

  Fedora  Core  is  delivered  on multiple CD-ROMs consisting of

  installation CD-ROMs and source code CD-ROMs.

 

  The  first installation CD-ROM can be directly booted into the

  installation on most modern systems, and contains the following

  directory structure (where /mnt/cdrom is the mount point of the

  CD-ROM):

 

 

/mnt/cdrom

  |----> Fedora

  |        |----> RPMS        -- binary packages

  |        `----> base        -- information on this release of Fedora

  |                              Core used by the installation process

  |----> images                -- boot and driver disk images

  |----> isolinux              -- files necessary to boot from CD-ROM

  |----> README                -- this file

  |----> RELEASE-NOTES        -- the latest information about this rel

ease

  |                              of Fedora Core

  `----> RPM-GPG-KEY          -- GPG signature for packages from Red H

at

 

 

 

  The remaining Installation CD-ROMs are similar to Installation

  CD-ROM 1, except that only the Fedora subdirectory is present.

 

  The directory layout of each source code CD-ROM is as follows:

 

/mnt/cdrom

  |----> SRPMS                -- source packages

  `----> RPM-GPG-KEY          -- GPG signature for packages from Red H

at

 

 

 

  If you are setting up an installation tree for NFS, FTP, or HTTP

  installations, you need to copy the RELEASE-NOTES files and all

  files from the Fedora directory on discs 1-3. On Linux and Unix

  systems,  the  following  process  will properly configure the

  /target/directory on your server (repeat for each disc):

    1. Insert disc

    2. mount /mnt/cdrom

    3. cp -a /mnt/cdrom/Fedora /target/directory

    4. cp /mnt/cdrom/RELEASE-NOTES* /target/directory (Do this only for

      disc 1)

    5. umount /mnt/cdrom

 

INSTALLING

 

  Many computers can now automatically boot from CD-ROMs. If you have

  such a machine (and it is properly configured) you can boot the

  Fedora  Core  CD-ROM  directly. After booting, the Fedora Core

  installation program will start, and you will be able to install

  your system from the CD-ROM.

 

  The images/ directory contains the file boot.iso. This file is an

  ISO image that can be used to boot the Fedora Core installation

  program. It is a handy way to start network-based installations

  without having to use multiple diskettes. To use boot.iso, your

  computer must be able to boot from its CD-ROM drive, and its BIOS

  settings must be configured to do so. You must then burn boot.iso

  onto a recordable/rewriteable CD-ROM.

 

  Another  image  file  contained  in  the  images/ directory is

  diskboot.img. This file is designed for use with USB pen drives (or

  other bootable media with a capacity larger than a diskette drive).

  Use the dd command to write the image.

 

Note

 

  The ability to use this image file with a USB pen drive depends on

  the ability of your system's BIOS to boot from a USB device.
