Installation on Fedora 13

Note: I am just beginning this page... 17 June 2010. This will be mostly a copy of the Installation on Fedora 8 page, updated to match FEDORA 13.

Overview

 * Note * Please understand that this tutorial will have you destroy all data on your hard disk.

Fedora is a Free Linux based operating system. This installation guide assumes that you have a basic understanding of the Linux command line environment, with using commands like ls, cp, mkdir.

If you wish to use a large storage device to store your images, like a raid array or separate hard disk, it should be mounted during installation as /images.

Known Issues
After you are done installing FOG you are going to need to update / edit a few settings in Fedora before the server is fully working and usable. Please see the links below for configuration changes that will need to take place.


 * TFTP password issues
 * Storage group password issues
 * PXE boot menu password issues

Installing Fedora
The first thing to do is download and burn an ISO image of Fedora 8 or later from http://fedoraproject.org/. You may use either the 32 or 64 bit versions, both have been reported to work without issue.

Next boot off the CD / DVD you just created to start the Fedora installation process. (We do not recommend that you attempt to install the OS that will be running FOG in a VM environment, as many users have reported performance related issues!)
