Fedora

[Lee Rhodes]

Thanks EC, I knew I couldn't use Knoppix and why but maybe with what little I've learned from it so far I can understand the course and Fedora better. I have an offer from someone fairly close to (from PLUG) to get copies from. I would love top go to one of these installs or any other kind of learning experience, but right now I'm also dealing with a very sick husband and it's hard to get away for that long.

  Here is the homepage for the list and click on
  meetings, then scroll down to this saturday's (24th)
  installfest.

  I suggest your 'answer' would be to go and have help
  installing there. 

  BACKUP ANY IMPORTANT INFO to cdroms or other places
  beside the hard drive before tinkering with the hd.

  The instructors of any class always want people to be
  'on the same page' bookwise/os-wise. That is why they
  want you to use fedora (it is probably 'his' favorite
  flavor and he really doesn't know the others well
  enough to teach them correctly), which is downloadable
  from the internet.

  Besides, debian based Knoppix uses 'different' flavors
  of packages with different procedures and names for
  the packages (in many instances) than red hat based
  Fedora does. They both will do the job, but trying to
  figure out which 'Name' to use to do the job could end
  up being harder than the class isself!!! That is it in
  a nutshell.

  Cyclists should expect and demand safe 
  accommodation on our public roads, 
  just as does every other user.  

  Nothing more is expected. 

  Nothing less is acceptable!

  Long live Knoppix!!
