Chapter 8 . Running Fedora Core and Red (Multiple domain web hosting)
Chapter 8 . Running Fedora Core and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 287 If you are not dedicating your whole hard disk to Fedora Core and you don t understand partitioning, refer to Chapter 7, which describes how to set up partitioning to allow multiple computer operating systems to coexist on the same hard drive. Choosing an Installation Method You can also install Fedora from any of several different types of media. You can still start the install process by booting the installation DVD. After booting the install process, however, you can type linux askmethod at the boot prompt, which offers you the choice of installing Fedora from the following locations: . Local CDROM This is the most common method of installing Fedora Core and the one you get by typing linux and pressing Enter from the Fedora installation boot prompt. Use this section for both DVD and CD installs. (You may need to change the BIOS if the DVD or CD doesn t boot.) All packages needed to complete the installation are on the DVD that comes with this book. . HTTP Lets you install from a Web page address (http://). . FTP Lets you install from an FTP site (ftp://). . NFS image Allows you to install from any shared directory on another computer on your network using the Network File System (NFS) facility. . Hard drive If you can place a copy of the Fedora distribution on your hard drive, you can install it from there. (The distribution should be on a hard drive partition to which you are not installing.) Installing Without a Bootable CD Drive Unlike earlier Fedora and Red Hat Linux versions, Fedora Core 4 doesn t support floppy disk boot images because the Linux 2.6 kernel is too large to fit on a floppy disk. So if you don t have a bootable CD or DVD drive, you will need to start the install process from some other medium such as a PXE server or hard drive. Installing on Multiple Computers If you re installing Fedora on many computers with similar configurations, you can save yourself some time by using the kickstart installation, which enables you to create a set of answers to the questions Fedora Core asks you during installation. Installation Guides No specific installation guide is provided with the Fedora Project. However, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Installation Guide is available from any Red Hat FTP site (such as ftp.redhat.com). The location on the ftp.redhat.com server of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Installation Guide is www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise Note
