If you have graphical access to your desktop, you can access yum by going to the "Applications" menu and choosing "Add/Remove Software." (It is called "pirut" when you access it graphically.) However, often people want to use yum at the command line. To use yum, become root, and then you can use the following commands:

Fedora Core enables SELinux by default. Instructions for setting SELinux permissions for MediaWiki are available.

Additionally, DenyHosts is included in the Fedora Extras repository repository and should be accessible via yum and/or up2date. You can view the appropriate repository:

This swanky venue resembles a 1930s-40s club comprised of like-minded people who share an interest and passion in the "Golden Era." So, stop on in, pull up a chair, order a drink and discuss the finer things in life, from cars to hats and clothes, music, aircraft, WWII, movies, and more.

Fedora is a general purpose repository service developed jointly by The University of Virginia Library and Cornell University. The Fedora project is devoted to the goal of providing open-source repository software that can serve as the foundation for many types of information management systems. For more information about what Fedora is and how it works, visit the Fedora page at: http://fedora.info/.

This will probably happen in the future. I started making the rpms for libferris' dependancies well before Fedora started. There are many rpms that I have for the dependancies for libferris and it will take a while to feed them into the mainline Fedora project. The other point to note is that time spent packaging is time not spent coding and I tend to prefer the latter.

The users personal settings are stored in the /home/user directory, to backup the personal settings backup your /home/user directory, or you can mount your home direcotry in the separate parition to keep from erasing in the next installations, to backup your configurations you make to your fedora system backup the /etc directory which is the nervous system of fedora core, also you can backup your whole fedora partition read the faq 2.

if not, you may install the linux driver for your sound card see your sound card website, or install the alsa driver a linux sound driver that may work.

From the Applications menu open the internet then kppp, click on configure, in configuration window click on new, in modem tab click query modem, see if your modem is detected by fedora core, if reponse is modem not found or modem is busy, you need linux driver for your modem, download the driver from your modem official website or visit the http://linmodems.org or search the google.com, for lucent, Rockwell and conexant modems you can go to linuxant.com.

Fedora Core releases will be available as ISO images for both CDs and DVDs, and will also be available through other channels such as third-party online sales of physical media; distribution at Linux User Groups, included in magazines and in books, and maybe even handed out at trade shows. The bits may be actively pushed into content sharing networks such as BitTorrent. (Not all mechanisms will be used for each release, except that ISOs will be freely available for each release.

Yes, and we strongly encourage you to do so. You will need to comply with The Fedora Project trademark rules.

Security updates, bugfix updates, and new feature updates will all be available, through Red Hat and third parties. Updates may be staged (first made available for public qualification, then later for general consumption) when appropriate. In drastic cases, we may remove a package from The Fedora Project if we judge that a necessary security update is too problematic/disruptive to the larger goals of the project.

Red Hat will initially focus on the x86 family of architectures. Red Hat may also choose to build Fedora Core for other architectures, and in doing so will focus on architectures in which it has a business interest. This will make it easier to identify and fix bugs; the sooner they are found, the easier it is to isolate the change that caused the bug and therefore the easier it is to fix. Other community members are welcome to participate in building for other architectures.

Fedora Core will not be sold through the retail channel as a shrinkwrapped box. There is no list price for Fedora Core. The rapid development pace we expect for Fedora Core doesn't suit retail distribution — it is a lot of work to get a box product in and out of the channel, and retail isn't set up to efficiently handle software that is updated as often as every six months.

Download and install the apt for your current fedora core version, and add the repositories for fedora core 6 to the /etc/apt/sources.list, or replace the old one with this new sources.list, remove the files form /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory, then run the apt with: The above will refresh the local cache for packages , so this should be run frequently or before each upgrade, read man apt-get for more help.

The users personal settings are stored in the /home/user directory, while the system all configuraion files are keep in the /etc directory the nervous system of linux, it is good idea to backup your /home/user and /etc directory, also it is possible to backup the whole linux parition to an image file read the faq 2.

Yum is the default installation and upgrade manager for fedora core, to run yum one should add the favourite repose like fedora core release, freshrpms, newrpms, dag, dries, livna and atrpms to the directory /etc/yum.repos.d. To add repos just download and install the each repo release rpm files, these will add the related repos to the /etc/yum.repos.d.

MK created The Fedora Lounge in May 2003 and says about those days: "In the beginning we had a funky board on Ez-board. There were just a handful of us and we developed the categories and worked on the look and feel. I like many aspects of the Golden Era, but I am a really big fan of film noir, especially Bogart and Ladd. The blueprint we followed was an old world gentlemen's club. A classy place where you can discuss issues of the day in a civilized way over brandy and a good cigar.

There might be. We do not know. In any case, even if they exist, Automatix2 does not have any connection with them.

A large number of contributors and users of Fedora and Enterprise Linux want to work within Fedora to provide these packages. The Fedora Project is a user of EPEL packages within the Fedora infrastructure itself. The Fedora Project is in a position to know the pain of not having a desired piece of software included in the RHEL distribution, and also a unique position to do something about it.

Boot the ADIOS CD and run the script copykernel to use the ADIOS kernel and run the script copyuml to install the UML root filesystem and tools. Read the ADIOS UML notes.

Now, I'll give you a summary. You can think of Fedora 8 as something like "Red Hat Linux 17," except it differs from the old Red Hat Linux in the following ways: It's a community-supported project. That means that you can be involved in creating Fedora, if you want. This means upgrading or re-installing your OS every 6 - 8 months. The advantage is that you're always on the cutting edge of Linux development, while still having a stable operating system.

A new version of Fedora is released every 6 - 8 months. Specific dates are usually in the Release Schedule.

The Fedora Project needs a lot of people to help in a lot of areas! Can you write documentation? Can you code? Do you know anything about bugs? Can you translate? Would you like to learn about any of these? Are you artistic? Do you just want to help out in any way you can? The Fedora Project has a great page that describes how you can help. Check it out!

If you have a new Intel Mac, you want the x86_64 version of Fedora, described in the question about getting Fedora. Note that some things may not yet work perfectly on Intel Macs. The Fedora Project has a page about Fedora on Mactel. There's also mactel-linux.org, which has a page about Fedora 8. If you have a G3, G4, or G5 Mac, you can just install the "ppc" version of Fedora, See the question about getting Fedora.

APT is a program for Debian Linux that installs not only the software you specify, but also all of that software's dependencies. It makes installing software much easier. There is a piece of software like this for Fedora, that comes in the standard Fedora installation. It's called yum. It can automatically download and install a program and all of its dependencies, with just one command.

Most drivers come with Fedora. However, if your driver doesn't come with Fedora, you can see what drivers are available for automatic download: Where NameOfHardware is the normal name of your hardware. If it has more than one name, keep trying different ones until you get a result.
