3. Operating system and Linux

4. What is Operating system?
As per wiki, the definition of Operating
system is "a software that manages
computer hardware and software
resources and provides common
services for computer programs. The
operating system is an essential
component of the system software in a
computer system. Application programs
usually require an operating system to
function."

5. What is Linux?
As per wiki, the definition of Linux is
"a Unix-like and mostly POSIX-compliant
computer operating
system assembled under the model
of free and open source software
development and distribution. The
defining component of Linux is the
Linux kernel, an operating system
kernel first released on 5 October
1991 by Linus Torvalds."

6. Background of Fedora

7. About Fedora
 Fedora is a Linux-based operating system that is free and open source software. Fedora is always
free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute.
As per wiki, the definition of Fedora is
"an operating system based on the
 Fedora is a RPM based linux distribution that is partly sponsored by RedHat and is released every
6-8 months or so.
Linux kernel, developed by the
 Major Commercial vendors in Linux are RedHat, Ubuntu, Fedora, SUSE etc.
community-supported Fedora Project
and owned by Red Hat. Fedora contains
software distributed under a free and
open source license and aims to be on
the leading edge of such technologies."

8. Step 1: Install from CD
 If you use the Fedora 9 Live CD note that the steps are different. So, download a Fedora 9 DVD
from fedoraproject.org.
 Insert your DVD in to the DVD tray and restart your computer making sure from the BIOS that
your CDROM is the first booting device.

9. Step 2: Install options
 Select the first option "Install or upgrade an existing system".

10. Step 3: Validation the media
 It is good to check the installation media before installing Fedora to make sure that the DVD was
burned successfully. This should take a few minutes to complete. Of course it isn't obligatory.

11. Configuring Fedora

12. Step 4: Anaconda
 Here is our first Fedora 9 screen, Anaconda (the Fedora installer) will load and you'll see the
welcome screen.
 Click 'Next'

13. Step 5: Select Language
 Next select the language you like to use during installation process.

14. Step 6: Keyboard layout
 Next select the appropriate keyboard for your system.

15. Step 7: Warning message
 A warning message about the hard drive partitions may appear. If so, click the 'Yes' button.

16. Step 8: Network Settings
 It's time to setup your network. If you have a DHCP network (dynamic IP address) you can click
Next, but if you have a static IP address (ask your provider if you're not sure) click the 'Edit' button
and follow the instructions below.
 If you have an IPv4 address, make sure it's enabled. If you have an IPv6 address, make sure it's
enabled too (if you don't have an IPv6 address, uncheck the 'Enable IPv6 support' option).
 Check the "Manual configuration" option and enter your IP address and the Netmask (ask your
provider if you don't know them).
 Do the same for the IPv6 address (if you have one).
 Click OK once you've finished.
 Select the 'manually' option.
 Optional, you can setup the system's hostname (e.g. john.fedora.linux).
 Enter your Gateway and Primary/Secondary DNS servers (ask your provider if you don't know
them).

17. Step 8: Network Settings

18. Step 9: Select City
 Here select a city close to yours and in the same time zone to configure your system clock. If you
have also installed Windows installed on your computer and you will make a dual boot system
make sure that the "System clock uses UTC" box isn't selected.

19. Step 10: root password
 Type twice your root password. Root is the administrator of the system. So, it is good this to be a
strong password. Not just 123456.

20. Step 11: Partitioning
 Here comes the partitioning part! If you have an empty hard drive, all you have to do is click 'Next'
(make sure the "Remove all partitions on selected drives and create default layout" option is
selected). If you don't have an empty hard drive and you still want to install Fedora 9 on your
machine, then make sure you select the "Use free space on the selected drives and create default
layout" option (10 GB minimum of free space is required). Click 'Next‘.
 The most common case in installation is that you already have Windows installed and you want to
try Fedora 9 as well.
 Select option “Remove linux partitions on selected drives and create default layout”.
 By default, the installation process erases any existing Linux partitions on the selected drives, and
replaces them with the default set of partitions for Fedora.

21. Step 11: Partitioning
 Next select the language you like to use during installation process.

22. Step 12: swap, root, data, primary partitions
 A Fedora system has at least three partitions:
 A /boot partition
 A / partition
 A swap partition
 Boot partition is a disk partition that contain the boot sector.
 Remaining files and folder comes under root directory.
 In windows virtual memory is there to expand the memory pool but linux uses swap partitions to
•Please note that the partition numbers are
counted from zero, not from one. So (hd0, 1)
means the second partition of the first hard
disk drive. Similarly, (hd0, 4) specifies the
first extended partition of the first hard disk
drive.
•Note that the partition numbers for extended
partitions are counted from `4', regardless of
the actual number of primary partitions on
your hard disk.
expand this pool, by automatically moving portions of memory between RAM and swap partitions
if insufficient RAM is available.

23. Step 13: LVM, RAID
As per wiki, the definition of LVM is "a
logical volume manager for the Linux
kernel that manages disk drives and
similar mass-storage devices."
Note, LVM is only available in the graphical
installation program.
As per wiki, "RAID , originally redundant
array of inexpensive disks; now commonly
redundant array of independent disks, is a
data storage virtualization technology that
combines multiple disk drive components
into a logical unit for the purposes of data
redundancy or performance
improvement."
 Here is the default layout.
 Fedora uses LVM Volume Groups but this isn't something that you should think of.

24. Step 14: MBR
 Select to install boot loader, grub, on /dev/sda. This is the MBR of the first hard disk of your
computer. If you have also Windows installed they will appear in the boot loader operating system
list and you can choose the default. Of course you can change this at any time

25. Step 15: Select packages
 The basic installation of Fedora 9 includes software for general and internet usage. You can also
select now packages for Software Development or Web Servers. If you don't know what those are
leave them unselected. You can also choose what packages will be installed by clicking on
"Customize now". If you want to install KDE as well or just KDE choose Customize now.

26. Step 15: Select packages
 Here are all the packages contained in Fedora 9 DVD to select those you want.

27. Installing Fedora

28. Step 16: Installation begin
 When you are ready click the Next button and the installation will begin.This should take a few
minutes depending on your computer.

29. Step 17: Reboot
 When the installation completes remove the DVD from the tray and click the Reboot button.

30. Step 18: Restart
 Remove the DVD from your optical drive and your brand new Fedora 9 Linux operating system
will start for the first time.

31. Step 19: Welcome screen
 This is the Welcome screen of Fedora 11. You will see it only the first time you boot in Fedora.

32. Step 20: License Information
 The License Information of Fedora.

33. Step 21: Create User
 Now create a new user.
 This will be the default user that you will use to log into Linux

34. Step 22: Date and Time
 Make sure the time and date are correct.

35. Step 23: Feedback to Fedora
 You can also send your hardware profile to The Fedora Project to provide feedback.

36. Step 24: Log-In
 This is Fedora Log in screen.

37. Step 25: GNOME
 And this is Fedora 9 default Desktop Environment, Gnome.
