Linux newb, WHS converter
Posted: Tue Feb 08, 2011 10:00 am
I would peg myself on the higher side of the unix newbs having done a decent amount of networking and bash scripting in the unix area.
Long story short used WHS for awhile on an old P4, until the box took a crap.
Have an old acer aspire one netbook but couldnt get around the ide only install of WHS, so I went to a Windows OS to purely be a file server.
It did not meet all of my needs and I miss drive extender, #vailfail
Still in the very early installation phases of fedora 12 and I have some newb issues.
Obviously no CD/DVD drive on the netbook although I do have an external CD drive.
In my ignorant glory I tried a live install of 12 only to find I could not edit repositories.
After further reading documentation I found I needed the full install of F12, can this be written to a usb drive using some kind of pen drive linux maker?
Also before the install amahi asked for ip addresses, can these be changed later down the line? Because the box is not in its home yet
Final thought, I am also an aspiring programmer, so any help I could provide the dev community, would be an honor.
Good work guys.
