286 Part III . Choosing and Installing a Linux Distribution Installing on Multiple Computers If you re installing Fedora on many computers with similar configurations, you can save yourself some time by using the kickstart installation, which enables you to create a set of answers to the questions Fedora Core asks you during installation. Installation Guides No specific installation guide is provided with the Fedora Project. However, the Red Hat Linux Installation Guide is available from any Red Hat FTP site (such as ftp. redhat.com). The location on the ftp.redhat.com server of the Red Hat Linux 9 Installation Guide is pub/redhat/linux/9/en/doc/RH-DOCS/rhl-ig-x86-en-9/index.html Another document you may find useful before installing is the Fedora Linux Reference Guide (also listed in the RH-DOCS directory, as rhl-rg-en-9.0). You ll need to check for yourself to find out whether the Fedora Project eventually updates the reference guides for Fedora Core. Choosing to Install or Upgrade Are you doing a new install or an upgrade? If you are upgrading an existing Red Hat Linux or Fedora system to the latest version, the installation process will try to leave your data files and configuration files intact as much as possible. This type of installation takes longer than a new install. A new install simply erases all data on the Linux partitions (or whole hard disk) that you choose. If you are upgrading an existing Fedora Linux system to this release, you should consider first removing any unwanted packages from your old Fedora Linux system. The fewer to be checked during an upgrade, the faster the upgrade installation (and the less space used). You can upgrade to Fedora Core 3 from previous Fedora or Red Hat Linux systems (such as Red Hat Linux 8 or 9). You cannot upgrade to Fedora Core 2 from a Red Hat Enterprise Linux system. To upgrade, you must have at least a Linux 2.0 kernel installed. With an upgrade, all of your configuration files are saved as filename.rpmsave (for example, the hosts file is saved as hosts.rpmsave). The locations of those files, as well as other upgrade information, is written to /tmp/upgrade.log. The upgrade installs the new kernel, any changed software packages, and any packages that the installed packages depend on being there. Your data files and configuration information should remain intact. By clicking the Customize box, you can choose which packages to upgrade. If you are installing a dual-boot system that includes a Windows operating system, install the Windows system first and the Fedora Core system afterward. Some Windows systems blow away the Master Boot Record (MBR), making the Fedora Core partition inaccessible. Caution Note
