Re: learning fedora

Lonnie,

Start with taking the Fedora distro and installing it from disks via the GUI and that will allow you to discover the install system, Fedora's installer is Anaconda (http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/anaconda-installer/) so you can check out that too.

If you start with installing the distro via anaconda from the disks that would be a good start to see how it works (install-wise)


	Cheers,

	Aly.

Hello All,

I have been an avid Linux user for a long time now, but must say that I have been using Mandrake most of that time. That was because I thought that it was a little more cutting-edge than Red Hat. Now it seems that the price of that cutting edge was that things do not always work as good as you would like.

Anyway, I am very eager to try Fedora and see if it is more stable and compatible with various other applications.

I would like to know if someone could either tell me some of the specifics, or direct me to some documentation on the Fedora installer. I want to learn how things are done.

For example I would like to know where in the Stage2.img is the list of install types and install messages that you see when it is running.

I would like to see what file Fedora uses to define what the "minimal" install is, or "Server" install list of packages because I need the absolute smallest install + XWindows and the smallest (simplest) window manager.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Lonnie
