Fedora 10 Beta Preview 1

Visit http://www.leenukes.co.uk/ for other nonsense.

I've installed Fedora 10 from the Live ISO into a Virtual machine using VirtualBox and recorded the stages after install. Sorry about the poor quality, I'll need to look into how to make it look better. I use recordmydesktop at the moment.

For reference the music is "Hey there Delilah" by the Plain White T's

Thanks

i tried to learn how to use Linux but i cant seem to get my nvidia drivers installed and every time i use Linux after a while it ends up booting into a console and asking me for my user name and password and when i put it in it just stays in console, i have no idea what to do

Its fiddly due to the frequent kernel updates etc. What I do is this, I download the driver from Nvidias website which is a .bin file. I then go into a console, run init 3 which puts me into a very simple command line view and I then install that file I downloaded once logged in as root. I step through the wizard, ensuring I have kernel-headers installed using yum and once I reboot its done. I need to do it again every now and then but I'm used to Linux after 5 years.

can you play windows games and run windows aplications?

[landstakerUK]

Yes you can, I have Garrys mod running and other Steam apps like Team Fortress 2. Do a google search for Winehq.

can fedora 10 use .exe files or are those windows only? I'm new to linux and am not sure...

[landstakerUK]

.exe files are Windows program files which you can run using Wine on Linux but this is another layer on top of Linux which allows programs which were written for Windows to run on Linux. Usually its best to try and find a Linux alternative. Just like Mac.

ok thanks

cool thanks :D

I think you're the only person that noticed. The kerneloops was nothing important, I forget what the issue was but likely related to the VirtualBox hardware devices.

Your system has a kernel failure!
