F10

I got it installed eventually. But it did not start. In the evening, I went to install screen again, selected an upgrade and removed splash image from grub after mounting the bootable partition from the text console. In the upgrade selected not to install grub. Upgrade did nothing and restarted the m/c. I am not getting the graphical screen with Intel drivers. Just started X with vesa driver. Will do the R&D later.

F10 installation

I was downloading a few other items, so F10 happened just yesterday. I have started installation on my sister's computer using one of my old 80GB ATA hard drives. This is what I did.



(I already have dhcp, tftp and httpd running on my machine)
1. mount Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso /mnt -o loop
2. cp /mnt/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz /tftpboot/F10InstKern
3. cp /mnt/images/pxeboot/initrd.img /tftpboot/F10InstInitrd
4. Edit pxeconfig and create an entry for F10 installation
LABEL F10Inst
KERNEL F10InstKernel
APPEND initrd=F10InstInitrd ip=:::::::dhcp admin
(I also made this default)
5. ln -s /mnt/ /var/www/html/f10

Just started the target machine and selected network boot. This started the installation. The installer could not start X. I chose to use vnc. A screen-shot is attached.
