Why do you wanna set an NTFS as a mountpoint (/, /boot, /home, etc ..) ? Linux doesnt allow you to install itself on NTFS, not yet. Format it into EXT3 and then mount it as / and proceed.

bhushan05d251 · 01-06-2007, 09:34 PM

I want to download also. From mentioned following which Live CD iso should I download?

Fedora-7-KDE-Live-i686.iso
Fedora-7-Live-i686.iso

QwertyManiac · 01-06-2007, 09:37 PM

If you want a KDE Live disc, download the former. For a GNOME live disc, download the latter.

@QwertyManiac
I want to view it from the fedora 7........I already reserve seperate space(Free Space) for fedora.

Ok My question is, Am I view the Ntfs drive from Fedora after installing ... just Like Ubuntu.

Is it going to show by default in "Places--->Removable Media" or Some where else, If I don't assign mount point during installation.

As I remember when I installed Open Suse 10.2...Manually I assign the Mount point to get the NTFS drive in that distro. Like:- /media/sda1

Please Reply.

QwertyManiac · 01-06-2007, 11:34 PM

Yeah it will, you can mount the NTFS later on after running Linux successfully.

dissel · 02-06-2007, 01:26 AM

I installed the Fedora 7 in my PC and posting from that now....I can easily surf the net but can't get the software list or update.

When I use Add/Remove program or Software update, It says no network connection available....

Please experts help me or point out where to look up.

I am using DataOne BB (MT882) with always on mode, Sharing between two PCs.

Go through the link I gave!

dissel · 02-06-2007, 02:35 AM

You mean to say that solution is in this

thread.

Ok Na ?

mediator · 02-06-2007, 02:45 AM

Haan!

I didn't check it completely though!

dissel · 02-06-2007, 03:08 AM

Form that post it is hard for me to find out the solution.....As Far As I Understand they are talking to download proper package directly from the web page.

Is there any thing to do with Firewall ?

My Firewall is default settings
i,e Trusteed service is SSH Enabled
SE Linux is Disabled

Guys i want to install Fedora and ubuntu has installed on my com. So This is my config:
ram 1gb (992mb+32mb for video)
40gb hdd
1st partition 10gb (for xpsp2)
2nd partition 5gb (for ubuntu)
3rd partition 5gb (for fedora) will create when install
And can i make 4th partition as 1gb for common swap file for both ubuntu and fedora?
Is this possible?

praka123 · 02-06-2007, 02:10 PM

swap of 1 GB is not needed for any use.just make a 300 MB partition for swap.dont waste ur hdd space for something which will be never used for any purpose-as with 1 Gig of Swap!

yes.common swap is the way.only one swap partn pls.
