Notes de sortie Fedora Core 5
Notes concernant l'installation
Cette section schématise les issues reliées a Anaconda le programme d'installation de Fedora Core et l'installation de Fedora Core 25 en général.
Note sur Anaconda
- Anaconda teste l'intégrité des médias d'installation par défaut. Cette fonction s'applique sur les méthodes d'installation par CD, DVD, ISO sur disque dur et ISO NFS. Le Projet Fedora recommande le test de tous les médias d'installation avant de démarrer le processus d'installation et de reporter les bogues relies a l'installation. La plupart des bogues reportes sont causes par les CD mal-graves. Pour utiliser ce test, entrez
linux mediacheck
a la ligne deboot:
.
La fonction mediacheck
est hautement sensible et peut reporter certains usages des disques comme défectueux. Ce résultat est cause par les logiciels des gravures des disques n'incluant pas les rembours lors du création du disques a partir du fichier ISO. Pour un meilleur résultat avec mediacheck
, démarrer avec les commandes suivantes:
linux ide=nodma
Utilisez l'utilitaire sha1sum
pour vérifier l'intégrité des disques avant de procéder a l'installation. Ce test identifie précisément les disques non valides ou identiques aux fichiers ISO.
- Vous pouvez effectuer des tests de mémoire avant d'installer de Fedora en entrant
memtest86
a la ligne de commandeboot:
. Cette option exécute Memtest86 standalone memory testing software in place of Anaconda. Memtest86 memory testing continues until theEsc
key is pressed.
- Fedora Core 25 supports graphical FTP and HTTP installations. However, the installer image must either fit in RAM or appear on local storage such as Installation Disc 1. Therefore, only systems with more than 192MiB of RAM, or which boot from Installation Disc 1, can use the graphical installer. Systems with 192MiB RAM or less will fall back to using the text-based installer automatically. If you prefer to use the text-based installer, type
linux text
at theboot:
prompt.
Changes in Anaconda
- The installer checks hardware capability and installs either the uniprocessor or SMP (Symmetric Multi Processor) kernel as appropriate in this release. Previous releases installed both variants and used the appropriate one as default.
- Anaconda now supports installation on several IDE software RAID chipsets using
dmraid
. To disable this feature, add thenodmraid
option at theboot:
prompt. For more information, refer to DmraidStatus.
- Serial mice are no longer formally supported in Anaconda or Fedora Core.
- The disk partitioning screen has been reworked to be more user friendly.
- The package selection screen has been revamped. The new, simplified screen only displays the optional groups Office and Productivity (enabled by default), Software Development, Web Server, and Virtualization (Xen). The Minimal and Everything shortcut groups have been removed from this screen. However, you may still fully customize your package selection. The right-click context menu provides an easy way to select all of the optional packages within a group. Refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/PackageSelection for more details.
- Optional package selection has also been enhanced. In the custom package selection dialog, you can right-click any package group, and select or deselect all optional packages at one time.
- Firewall and SELinux configuration has been moved to the Setup Agent (
firstboot
), the final phase of the graphical installation process. - The timezone configuration screen now features zooming areas on the location selection map.
- This release supports remote logging via
syslog
. To use this feature, add the optionsyslog=host:port
at the boot prompt. The:port
specifier is optional. - Anaconda now renders release notes with the
gtkhtml
widget for better capability. - Kickstart has been refactored into its own package,
pykickstart
, and contains a parser and writers. As a result of this change, validation and extension is now much easier. - Anaconda now uses
yum
as the backend for solving package dependencies. Additional repositories such as Fedora Extras are expected to be supported during installation in a future release.
Installation Related Issues
- Some Sony VAIO notebook systems may experience problems installing Fedora Core from CD-ROM. If this happens, restart the installation process and add the following option to the boot command line:
pci=off ide1=0x180,0x386
. Installation should proceed normally, and any devices not detected are configured the first time Fedora Core is booted. - Not all IDE RAID controllers are supported. If your RAID controller is not yet supported by
dmraid
, you may combine drives into RAID arrays by configuring Linux software RAID. For supported controllers, configure the RAID functions in the computer BIOS.
Upgrade Related Issues
Refer to DistributionUpgrades for detailed recommended procedures for upgrading Fedora.
In general, fresh installations are recommended over upgrades, particularly for systems which include software from third-party repositories. Third-party packages remaining from a previous installation may not work as expected on an upgraded Fedora system. If you decide to perform an upgrade anyway, the following information may be helpful.
- Before you upgrade, back up the system completely. In particular, preserve
/etc
,/home
, and possibly/opt
and/usr/local
if customized packages are installed there. You may wish to use a multi-boot approach with a "clone" of the old installation on alternate partition(s) as a fallback. In that case, creating alternate boot media such as GRUB boot floppy.
- After you complete the upgrade, run the following command:
rpm -qa --last > RPMS_by_Install_Time.txt
Inspect the end of the output for packages that pre-date the upgrade. Remove or upgrade those packages from third-party repositories, or otherwise deal with them as necessary.
