Red Hat?

Red Hat?

by 92 dodge ram Jul 29, 2008 8:10PM PDT

I am putting together a computer to run Linux,450 AMD. I have Red Hat 5.2 Deluxe, I'm not sure in reading the book that it can support AGP or USB or could it be to old for updating? Any help you can give me would be appreciated.

Any Hat?

Given that you can get current versions, why must you stick with something that old?

Try Fedora.

Download a Fedora release from the website. It is the testing ground for Redhat. Fedora 7&8 are stable. Fedora 9 is the recent release.
http://fedoraproject.org/ <-- get Fedora here. It's a free download.

I was looking at the fedora website and it was pretty confusing. How do you know what to download?

Follow this.

you can use the bittorrent or ftp.
Pick your processor. New macs, barcelonas, core2s, opteron's are x86_64.
Older PC are i386.
Older macs are ppc.

You need to download a live image. i686 and i386 are the same.
Make a bootable CD with sonic, nero, k3b, or cdroast.
Place in your drive, reboot, and do an install.

NOT a "bootable CD"

by 3rdalbum Aug 1, 2008 9:14PM PDT

Just to clarify what the above poster said: Do NOT use the option of "Make a bootable disc" in your burning software (this is something completely different). Just use the "Burn Image to Disc" setting of your software.
