I did it with the "install to hard disk" function of the LIVE CD, but I'd expect an install from a cd/dvd (non-live) to work just as well. I've never seen anyone suggest this method, so I don't know what the drawbacks are, all I know is it worked for what I needed. The reason I did that: one problem with the live-cd-on-usb-with-persistence method is that updates to the kernel, or new kernel modules--such as wireless drivers-- don't work, and I needed rt2860 drivers from RPMFusion, or else it wasn't any good to me at all. > AA > -- > users mailing list > users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ---------------------------- Do you not know?
