Installation Guides Fedora * Fedora 10 net install - Mike Kelly / DrFyzziks * Ubuntu 8.10 install - Mike Kelly / DrFyzziks text/html 2009-03-08T13:39:09-04:00 Mike Kelly http://pwiki.soniccat.com/doku.php?id=ubuntu_8.10_install&rev=1236533949&do=diff Requirements * Sony Vaio P-series laptop/“netbook” * External USB DVD drive * Ubuntu 8.10 “alternate” install CD Installation Notes I first tried installing Ubuntu with the standard installation CD. The install hung before the grub bootloader could be installed on the drive, resulting in a “Missing Operating System” error when the laptop was rebooted. text/html 2009-02-25T13:15:52-04:00 Mike Kelly http://pwiki.soniccat.com/doku.php?id=fedora_10_net_install&rev=1235585752&do=diff Array This installation method was inspired by AdamW's post over on his Happy Assassin blog. I first tried installing Fedora via an external USB DVD drive and standard Fedora 10 install DVD. This didn't work (Linux would hang relatively early in the boot process). So I tried AdamW's method.
