F12 Alpha Test install
Things I ran into when trying to install this test image and checking to see if anyone else ran into them, or ask for confirmation on what I see or shouldn't see. BTW, install consisted of downloading x86_64 dvd iso and it along with the images/install.img both residing in a mounted nfs directory. I burned boot.iso and used it to start the install from, while the install.img I got from mounting the dvd.iso and copying it to the proper location. 1 - askmethod - was able to select language and keyboard types, but it didn't let me configure network or type of install. It might have let me do the previous later on if I had proceeded, but it asked me about what partition and path to the install image to install from. But mine is on nfs and it didn't allow me to configure nfs at that point. 2 - My mouse was not detected at all during install. Or at least, I never saw the mouse arrow during it. Had to use keyboard the whole time. 3 - I used the GUI to do the install and when getting to type of install, I tried to select NFS and listed my server and path to iso image (yes dir is mounted), and it was looking for repo stuff for instead of detecting the iso image itself.

Triple boot windows, fedora, and rawhide
I dual boot windows and fedora a normal basis and have no problems with it getting setup. What I would like to do now, is to setup a triple boot as mentioned in subject line. That can be one of two ways, installing rawhide itself (problems lately and am watching for installing to be fixed), or to install F11 and update to rawhide. Now, I have never dual booted linuxes before, so this is the part I don't understand how or what to do to get this right. I tried this morning doing this and sort of got it working, but few things I couldn't figure out and have since resetup just dual boot windows and F11. So, questions I would have to understand is this, and beware that I already have space ready for install. Anyway, what I guess I need to know is... 1 - When going to install F11 (again) or rawhide, should either detect my current windows/linux installs and ask to install grub and include those stanzas? (Neither detected the other, maybe still rewrite problems for storage at this stage for this stuff?) 2 - Even if not detected how do I add the missing stanza and is it basically same already ahve just with diff partitions and kernel versions? 3 - Which grub is installed to mbr and is the other installed to the 1st partition of it's install or what? What should the mbr config and the 1st partitions look like? 4 - Should the two installs share /boot dirs so they can read the kernels and auto update grub.conf when needed? How does that work if not? P.S. I have been googling this (maybe I am wording it wrong) and not getting real good info to explain my best course of action. Am still googling now to keep trying but am exhausting my efforts.

Partitioning error during install
I have a 500G Sata Drive that I have F11 installed on half of it, using 3 primary partitions (/boot, / and swap). Now, I want to run rawhide on the other half, via F11 and update to rawhide (which I understand is not exactly running smoothly), or install rawhide itself. But the problem I run into (no matter which I install), is when I get to the partition section. I go to add a partition - not as a primary (this should allow it to be an extended correct?) - and I get an error and can't proceed any longer. So either anaconda is having problems with this setup (due to the rewrite?), or I am doing something wrong causing it to crash. BTW, when I say as or not as a primary partition, I mean I am actually checking or not checking the make it a primary partition check box.

In 4 of the 6 cases, the problem seems to lie in the video driver. The video card in this machine is an S3 SuperSavage IX/C SDR card.

Re: F10 nfs installs
On Wed, 2008-11-26 at 16:44 -0600, Frank Cox wrote: Two related questions: I created a bootable CD from images/boot.iso on the F10 DVD iso. I put the iso file on my fileserver, then booted from the bootable CD that I just created and told the installer to do a NFS install and pointed it to the directory on my fileserver where the iso image was. It complained that it can't find the files and keeps adding images/install.img to the path that I entered. Therefore, I'm thinking that the nfs installer can no longer look inside of the iso image to find the files but I will now have to copy the files out onto a real directory on the fileserver so the installer can find them. The nfs installer used to be smart enough to just look inside of the iso, so has that capability gone away? Second, there used to be a file called images/diskboot.img that you could just copy to a usb flash drive using dd which you could then boot from to do a nfs install. That file seems to no longer be present. I would prefer not to have to install from a live image but rather to just do a regular nfs install from my fileserver, so how can I create a bootable usb flash drive to make that happen? Try the askmethod paramater at boot up and see if that lets you do it. I do NFS installs via boot.iso on cd all the time, and the askmethod is how I did it successfully for F10. -- Mike Chambers Fedora Project - Ambassador, Bug Zapper, Tester, User, etc..

Strauss' Blue Danube.) THIS IS FEDORA SPACE OPERATIONS ANNOUNCING with great pleasure the successful launch of the new ship, Fedora 10: Cambridge. Strapped into the pilot seats are the latest GNOME (2.24) and KDE (4.1), accompanied on their amazing journey by an all star crew of glitch free audio, better printing and webcam support, and a new faster graphical startup. Also on this ride are wireless connection sharing and the next evolution in PackageKit, hooking through your multimedia applications to help install supporting software (codecs). For developers and system administrators on this mission, we have built in appliance tools, Eclipse 3.4, NetBeans IDE, improved virtualization management with remote installation and storage capabilities, RPM 4.6, and new security auditing toolsets. Please remember to polarize viewports to properly enjoy Cambridge's brand new graphics theme, Solar, shining on the desktop. Also on this flight is a new lightweight desktop environment, LXDE, joining the more recent desktop envionment crew member, Sugar (from the starship OLPC XO), and the venerable GNOME, KDE, and XFCE. We are now leaving drydock for a 13-month mission of innovation and exploration. Crew members and guests are invited to the forward lounge to use, study, modify, and redistribute.

You can do as you are asking and just not format your /home partition when doing the install and should be OK. BUT, at the same time if you want a really fresh install, everything type fresh to include /home, then evolution and firefox both have backup plans built in so you can restore them without having to copy/move/paste folders/files like you used to.

Now that NM is included in anaconda, and pretty much required that you give it a DHCP address, is there some way to bypass it? I generally like to assign a static IP on some of my machines. Some folks that get the installation media might not have a dhcp server on their network, or even a network. Is there documentation on this somewhere? You can still install via static IP, just not straight up as default. If at the boot prompt you issue the askmethod parameter, it will let you install the old way and setup networking towards the start. And NM will use the static IP like it should.

Hi I post the same question, and the answer : edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf however AutomaticLogin did not work properly as released, your system will need to be 'yum updated' for it to work properly. Add the section in the file : [daemon] AutomaticLoginEnable=true AutomaticLogin=your_username If you can't yum update the system there is a workaround via a timed login : [daemon] TimedLoginEnable=true TimedLogin=your_username TimedLoginDelay=0 GDM/Gnome changed it up some and it doesn't work like it used it, which I believe was F8 and below. F9 goes along with a new setup and new paramaters that can be used. Below is the URL that describes what can be used now, in which auto logon is no longer used, but you can still use timed logins as stated above. http://live.gnome.org/GDM/2.22/Configuration -- Mike Chambers Fedora Project - Ambassador, Bug Zapper, Tester, User, etc..
