ReplyDeletethx
ReplyDeleteThank you too! Luckily I just needed the commands from step 1 and 2.
ReplyDeleteBut if there is anyone more lost than me on a new linux operating system after recently switching from Windows,
be sure the first command in the terminal is "su --login" without quotes then press enter, next put your root password. Then move on to step 2.
Thanks again. I am really enjoying the switch to Fedora Linux from Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP & 7. I never bothered with Vista and refuse to use Windows 8, instead I want something secure stable like a Linux OS.
chookas!
ReplyDeleteme loves to watch my videos
thanking you for making that possible
i would love to kiss you
Can Fedora 18 be installed over an existing vista base?
ReplyDeleteWhat does that mean? Dual-8oot with Vista? If so, then the short answer is yes. The long answer is http://lifehacker.com/5403100/dual+boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-in-perfect-harmony
DeleteUsing that guide is how I put Fedora on my computer.
It works well for me...Thanks.
