Shuimu - give Linux newbie [series three]
OK, where to get Linux? In order to discuss convenience, I will save the issues of branches, I only discuss the installation of the disc. So the first step is to get a redhat 6.2 disc. There are two ways to get the disc, one is to buy a disc, this is relatively simple, but it needs to be pointed out that the redhat 6.2 disc cannot be a pirated disk, because Redhat 6.2 follows the GPL protocol, it is not Collecting copyright fees. So anyone copying the installation CD is legal. So don't have to bought a "Redhat 6.2 pirated disk" and have a joy of success .... Just pay attention, selling the pirated plate to defraud money, some put RH 6.0 disk Brush a cover, tell you this is 6.5 latest, don't believe it. I remember that the version upgrade of KILL anti-virus software will have a variety of false versions when the KILL anti-virus software is popular. I personally made Kill 500.2 to deceive people. Who let him say that his Kill 79.8 is true? ? Another way is to obtain an ISO file, this is a problem that half of the newcomers must ask. Most of you have a network, too lazy or you can't buy a disc. You downloaded a more than 600 M files such as RH62_INSTALL.ISO from an FTP. You ponder this is a file related to the disc, but you don't know how to unlock it. How to do it? ISO, is a disc image file. Suppose you have to pass a disc's content * complete *, how do you do it? Of course, the simplest is the disc copy. If you want to pass the network, you can pass the files on the disc. If this disc just some files are simple, if this disc has functions such as CD, you can not do it. Not to mention on the network, the total amount of thousands of small files with a total of 600m are terrible. So, some people invented ISO, which is to write a "photo" that is loyal to a ISO file. Use the same software to write all the information back to the disc to get a touch of discs, including all the capabilities such as CD. Then you have this ISO, how to get the CD? Simple, find any machine that can engrave the disc, which must have a disc software similar to ezcdpro. Each such software should have the ability to write the disc as a ISO file and write the ISO file as a disc. You need to find it carefully in its menu, or find someone to help you, how to engrave the CD Image file into the function of the CD, then start, you get a disc that is not bad with the redhat distribution one byte. ... a little problem: those Down ISO places often have the files such as md5.checksum or redhat62.md5, not big, dozens of bytes, you don't know what they do, is it Download otherwise Can't engrave CD. In fact, you don't have to take them, those that are data integrity check, as if the registration letter is the same. As long as you can pass, if you have anything they don't do. There is also an FTP mode installation. Use WinImage to expand the ISO local file installation, I don't discuss them. Ok, now you have a CD of RH 6.2, because it is an ISO, so it should be able to start the CD. So, put it into the optical drive, then adjust the BIOS to set the CD, start the machine. We can start installing RH Linux.
