    installing Fedora core 6 for a class(text install only)
    « on: January 09, 2009, 10:37:05 AM »
    I would like to know what I would need to do if I wanted to install Fedora core 6 on a laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit), and has 2.5 GB ram and a 160 GB Hard Drive. Also I do not want to do a graphical based install.

    Thanks

      Why fedora6 ,  why  not  fedora 10 with  full  Drivers  ,
      get     Fedora 10 from http://fedoraproject.org/   burn it in iso  and  reboot  with  DVD


      its  should  be working under  graphic  mode

        I want to install Fedora 6 because I am taking a class on linux and we are using fedora 6. Also, besides the classroom itself, I have no way of practicing on my own.

          start  your  cd  rom or DVD.  the  in  boot menu type  : Linux text 


          Enter ;

          be sure  that  you  have  in windows  mode   more  then 1 partition  .   and install  Linux  in  D or  E  or F

          20 GB  is  sufficient    space  but  you cane make   30 or 40 if  you have  enough space  
          in de  Linux  partition  phase  create   root  partition   / with  18 GB  and  the      swap  partition with  2 GB




          regards

            Do I need to reinstall vista before installing Fedora Core 6 or can I just download it from the internet?

            thanks

            you  dont  need  te  reinstall  your  vista .   just  make  new  partiton   D: or  E: or  F:  with  40 GB   (NTFS) for  example.   then   reboot your  machine . insert  the  Fedora DVD or  begin with  CD1  ,

            install in text mode with  :  linux  text
