How to understand Fedora Core 6 support specific system files and various methods of operation, many novices are not very clear about this, in order to help you solve this problem, the following editor will explain in detail for you, people with this need can come to learn, I hope you can get something.

Fedora Core system has been fully affirmed by users in China, mainly reflected in its security and stability. Ben

RPM multi-system support under bit platform (x86 / 64, ppc64)

RPM supports multiple systems where one package is installed at the same time. Running rpm-qa to list packages may contain duplicate packages because the system will not be listed. However, using the repoquery command, which is part of the yum-utils package in the Fedora Extras repository, you can list the system. To install yum-utils, run the command:

Su-c 'yum install yum-utils'

To list all software packages and their systems in rpm, run the command:

Rpm-qa-- queryformat "% {name} -% {version} -% {release}.% {arch}\ n"

You can add it to / etc/rpm/macros (system-wide settings) or ~ / .rpmmacros (users' respective settings). It changes the default query to list the system:

% _ query_all_fmt% {name} -% {version} -% {release}.% {arch}

PPC correlation

This section contains information about Fedora Core 6 support specific to PPC hardware platforms.

one。 PPC hardware requirements

1. Processor and memory

Minimum CPU: PowerPC G3 / POWER3

Fedora Core 6 supports the "new generation" Power Macintosh released by Apple around 1999 and later.

Fedora Core 6 supports IBM eServer pSeries, IBM RS/6000, Genesi Pegasos II and IBM Cell Broadband Engine models.

Recommended value for text mode: 233MHz G3 or better, 128MiB memory

Recommended values for graphics mode: 400MHz G3 or better, 256MiB memory

two。 Hard disk space requirement

The hard drive requirements for Fedora Core 6 support after installation are given below. However, more disk space is required to run the installer during the installation process. More disk space is roughly equal to the size of / Fedora/base/stage2.img (on installation CD 1) plus the size of / var/lib/rpm on the installed system.

In practice, this means that a minimum installation requires extra space for 90MiB, while a full installation requires additional space for 175MiB. All packages will take up 9GB disk space.

In addition, keep in mind that additional space is needed for user data, and at least 5% of the free space should be reserved for the system to function properly.

two。 Apple keyboard

The Option key in the Apple system is equivalent to the Alt in PC. When the Alt key is mentioned during installation, use Option instead. Some key combinations need to be combined with the Option key and the Fn key. For example, Option-Fn-F3 can switch to the virtual terminal tty3.

three。 PPC installation

Fedora Core 6 installation disk 1 can be started on the supported hardware platform. In addition, a bootable CD image can be found in CD's images/ directory. With different hardware, they behave differently:

Apple Macintosh-the bootstrapper will automatically boot the appropriate 32-bit or 64-bit installer.

The default gnome-power-manager package includes power management support, such as hibernation and backlight level management. Users can use the apmud package in Fedora Extras when they have more complex requirements. To install apmud, run the command:

Su-c 'yum install apmud'

64-bit IBM pSeries (POWER4/POWER5), after the recent iSeries model uses OpenFirmware to boot CD, the boot manager (yaboot) automatically runs the 64-bit installer. IBM "Legacy" iSeries (POWER4)

ISeries, called "Legacy", does not use OpenFirmware. You should use the boot image in the images/iSeries directory of the installation tree. After 32-bit CHRP (IBM RS/6000 and others) starts CD using OpenFirmware, select the linux32 image at the boot: prompt to boot the 32-bit installer. Otherwise, the 64-bit installer will boot automatically and it will not run.

Genesi Pegasos II

At the time of writing, the firmware of the ISO9660 file system, which is fully supported by Pegasos, has not yet been released. However, you can use a network boot disk. At the OpenFirmware prompt, enter the command: boot cd: / images/netboot/ppc32.img

You also need to manually configure OpenFirmware on Pegasos so that the installed Fedora Core 6 system can be started. You need to set the boot-device and boot-file environment variables to the correct values.

Network startup there is a set of image files containing the installer kernel and ramdisk in the images/netboot/ directory of the installation tree. Their main purpose is to enable network startup through TFTP, but there are other ways to use them.

Yaboot supports booting IBM eServer pSeries and Apple Macintosh with TFTP. Fedora Project recommends using a combination of yaboot and netboot images.

X86 correlation

This section contains information about Fedora Core 6 support that is specific to x86 hardware platforms. X86 hardware requirements in order to use specific features supported by Fedora Core 6 during or after installation, you may need to know the details of other hardware components such as video cards and network cards.

1. Processor and memory requirements

The following CPU features are expressed in the form of an Intel processor. Other processors (mainly those from AMD, Cyrix, and VIA) can also be used for Fedora Core if they are compatible with Intel processors.

System operations supported by Fedora Core 6 require Intel Pentium or higher. It is optimized for Pentium 4 and newer processors.

Recommended configuration for text mode: 200MHz Pentium or above

Recommended configuration for graphics mode: 400 MHz Pentium II or above

Text mode minimum: 128MiB

Graphic mode minimum: 192MiB

Recommended value for graphic mode: 256MiB

two。 Hard disk space requirement

The hard drive requirements for Fedora Core 6 support after installation are given below. However, more disk space is required to run the installer during the installation process. More disk space is roughly equal to the size of / Fedora/base/stage2.img in installation CD 1 plus the size of / var/lib/rpm in the installed system. In practice, this means that a minimum installation requires extra space for 90MiB, while a full installation requires additional space for 175MiB. All packages will take up 9GB disk space. In addition, keep in mind that additional space is needed for user data, and at least 5% of the free space should be reserved for the system to function properly.
