Had trouble creating cd but when this was finally sorted,ran from live d.I was very impressed, especially when my memory stick just opened up with none of the windows palaver.I think it's brilliant how the downloads look after themselves and go straight to the want to run window and don't just lie in the download box but of course this could be just the beta version of Firefox(3.5)

I was also impressed bythe speed of everything.So I installed the operating system to hard drive, changed the bios back to default- reading from hard drive and not cd I then restarted the machine- I had to do it many times before it booted .

Since then I have a few sudden shutdowns and very erratic start-ups also system slowing right down or freezing.It's working fine right now but I expect the same probs to repeat themselves.Also various graphics have broken up on the screen.I downloaded adobe flash for linusrpm and the pages opened butthe graphics and even some of the text broke up on the page.I used the WE7 website and the sound came thru fine but he screen was again all broken up- I'm sure it's not my computer because with vista on it I didn't have this problem,Also when booting up I get the messageMP bios bug 8254.I've seen this reported in a few forums but no answers so far.

Finally where should I start to begin to understand Fedora or Linux language .The documentation is hard to follow .Any help would be very appreciated .Please be gentle .I know nothing!

the first thing to do was to get some files

 



Code:
wget ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/fedora/linux/releases/11/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-notes-11.0.0-2.fc11.noarch.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/fedora/linux/releases/11/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-11-1.noarch.rpm




 

once done login as root using

Code:
su -




 

change to the directory where you download those files above and execute the following command

 



Code:
rpm -Uvh fedora-release-notes-11.0.0-2.fc11.noarch.rpm fedora-release-notes-11.0.0-2.fc11.noarch.rpm




 

then

 



Code:
yum clean all




 

then

 



Code:
yum update




 

after in gets all the updates it will then install them (1151 in my case)

 

it will then prompt you to import the new GPG key for Fedora 11 and run a Transaction test

 

this can take a long time.. so be patient and don't interupt it

 

after running the transaction test, it will run the transaction itself, so once again, be patient

 

after a long while, the transaction will start to scroll in your cli, and in my case 2211 transactions had to be done...

 

at this point it was late and it was at transaction 323 of 2211, so I went to bed and let it continue overnight

So if you want vncserver as root do this:

 



Code:
yum install tigervnc-server




 

and for vncviewer

 



Code:
yum install vnc




 

ok now you know how to vnc in Fedora 11, how about doing vnc over ssh to make it more secure !

David Zeuthen, primary developer of DeviceKit, has posted on his blog about the work done by the Red Hat Desktop team in Fedora 11 for improving the storage layer in GNOME by taking advantage of DeviceKit. This includes desktop notification if your hard disk is failing, a desktop utility to handle RAID and LVM storage, a replacement for the venerable gfloppy, and many others. Look at his blog for a number of screenshots showing the details. "The GNOME 2.26 release in Fedora 11 will ship with a completely different stack for handling storage devices. The plan is to land all this work in the upstream GNOME 2.28 release and most of that work is done already."

It comes packed with new features, such as Ext4 as the default filesystem, Nouveau driver by default, kernel mode setting on Intel, ATI and Nvidia drivers, many virtualization improvements, IBus input method, GCC 4.4, and much more.

 

Fedora 11 comes with a load of upstream improvements, thanks to the inclusion of the latest GNOME (2.26) and KDE (4.2.1) releases. It also has experimental support for the Btrfs file system, which may become the default file system for most Linux distributions in the future. Note, though, that Btrfs is really, really volatile at this point. For more information on new features, please read the release notes.

 

Fedora 11 is scheduled for release on May 26. You can download the beta using Bittorrent (preferred), or you can use the mirror list.
