InstallFedora3

Installing Fedora 3 (Linux) on KevinPC

Strategy: Go with the distro provided apps. Follow the 'integrated suite' approach and not the best-of-breed approach.

1. Do the initial install

2. After rebooting and logging in and su root...
   1. Edit /etc/grub.conf and remove the rhgb option (parm that shows the GUI startup screen). It runs on X-windows display 1 and makes display 1 fail on VNC.
3. Hat/System Settings/Login Screen: auto-login as kevin. Enable XDMCP.
4. Add to /etc/sudoers:
   1. kevin ALL=(AlL) NOPASSWD: ALL

5. [[InstallingFedora3-ServicesChanges|In the Services applet make these changes]]

6. Hat/Preferences/More Preferences/Desktop Switching Tool - use KDE
7. cd /usr/share/applnk/System/Screensavers; rm webcollage.desktop (random web pics)
8. vi Desktop/CD.desktop
   • Dev=/dev/hdc

   • MountPoint=/media/cdrecorder

9. Reconfigure Apache
10. Add to /etc/fstab:

//192.168.1.2/backup  /mnt/nasback  smbfs username=kevin,password=mypass,uid=kevin,rw,dmask=775

Moin code is just too ugly to mess with. Let's try instiki.

Deferred Capture what I did once, but hope not to have to do again, and did not do on my most recent re-install.

1. Install libjpeg (was prereq to tightvnc)
2. Install TightVNC (might be a trifle faster than distro VNC)
3. Create a cron job to reboot each night at 4 a.m.
   1. 00 04 * * * root /sbin/reboot
   2. crontab --u root filename
4. Configure saned
