This article introduces you how to carry out Fedora Core 5 support hardware system, the content is very detailed, interested friends can refer to, hope to be helpful to you.

Here will introduce the solution to the problem of Fedora Core 5 hardware platform, and share it with you here. Introduce the network and security, including the basic concepts of the network, GnuPG security protection, OpenSSH server. Introduces the management of Apache server, FTP server, mail server, SAMBA server, DNS server and NFS server. Specific hardware architecture supported by Fedora Core 5.

This section contains information specific to the PPC hardware platform for Fedora Core 5. PPC hardware requirements

Processor and memory

Minimum: PowerPC G3 / POWER4

Fedora Core 5 only supports Power Macintosh of the "New World" generation released by Apple around 1999 and later. Fedora Core also 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

Hard disk space requirement

The hard drive requirements after the installation of Fedora Core 5 is 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 7GB 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.

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 the Fn key. For example, Option-Fn-F3 can switch to the virtual terminal tty3.

PPC installation

The DVD or * * CD in the Fedora Core 5 installation disk can be started on the supported hardware platform. In addition, you can find bootable CD images in the images/ directory of DVD or * CD. 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:

After booting CD using OpenFirmware, the Boot Manager (yaboot) automatically runs the 64-bit installer.

After 32-bit CHRP (IBM RS/6000 and others) starts CD using OpenFirmware, select the linux32 boot 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 this writing, the firmware that Pegasos supports the ISO9660 file system 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 5 system can boot. 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 they can also be used in other places. Yaboot supports booting IBM eServer pSeries and Apple Macintosh with TFTP. It is recommended to use a combination of yaboot and netboot images.

Correlation

Hardware requirement

In order to use the specific features of Fedora Core 5 during or after installation, you may need to know the details of hardware components such as video cards and network cards.

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. Minimum requirements: Pentium level-Fedora Core 5 is optimized specifically for Pentium 4 CPU, but still supports older CPU (such as Pentium, high-energy Pentium, Pentium II, Pentium III, and also includes AMD and VIA processors). The reason for this optimization is that if it is optimized only for the Pentium level, it will cause performance loss on non-Pentium processors; and the scheduling of Pentium 4 is very different, so it is worth doing.

Recommended configuration for text mode: 200MHz Pentium or above

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

AMD64 processors (including Athlon64 and Opteron)

Intel processor with Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel EM64T)

Text mode minimum: 128MiB

Graphic mode minimum: 192MiB

Recommended value for graphic mode: 256MiB

Hard disk space requirement

The hard drive requirements after the installation of Fedora Core 5 is 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 7GB 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.

X86 correlation

This section contains information about Fedora Core specific to the x86y64 hardware platform.

X86x64 hardware requirements

In order to use the specific features of Fedora Core 5 during or after installation, you may need to know the details of hardware components such as video cards and network cards.

Memory requirement

This list is for 64-bit x86x64 systems:

Text mode minimum: 128MiB

Graphic mode minimum: 256MiB

Recommended value for graphic mode: 512MiB

Hard disk space requirement

The hard drive requirements after the installation of Fedora Core 5 is 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 7GB 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.

RPM multi-system support in x86x64

RPM supports multiple systems that install the same software package at the same time. When packages are listed by default, running rpm-qa will 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:
