I apologize in advance if I confuse you =D,

I want to install Fedora (The latest version) on a USB flash drive and I want to have a portable system that can run on both AMD Intel. Is there any ISO for both Intel and AMD?

Please tell me if I need to add more info,
Thanks in Advance,
EpicAsian

Linux is not Mac, you can download x86 iso and run it from flash.

• http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/
• https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/

I know Linux isn't mac...where did you get that from?

and will the x86 ISO run on both AMD and Intel?

Thank You,
EpicAsian

x86 will run on both...

DID you try Google ????????????????????????????????
IT IS ON THE FRONT PAGE !!! as " Get fedora"

I'll get 12 in a week or so....

You need help getting it on usb?

hehe...i meant when he said "linux is not a mac" i already knew that...i just didn't see where he thought i said it has anything to do with a mac (see my sig XD)

ps...i appreciate your over use of ?'s lol


Thank you for welcoming me and giving me good links and asking useful questions, when i join a forum...ppl usually just yell at me when i ask n00bie questions lol...

to answer your q's...

yes i know what a torrent file is and how to use it,
and no, i've seen the live-usb creator, can i use that?

one more question linus72,
if i transfer the LXDE i686 ISO onto my usb drive, will it run on 32 bit pcs?

Thank You again,
EpicAsian

Hi Epicasian,

The i686 version is like the 'Pentium II' version if you like, tho someone will prob shoot me for generalising

Yes, the LXDE i686 version will run on 32 bit PC's, to be honest, unless it specifically says it's a download for 64 bit PC's, it will work on 32bit. Take a look here: http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/download for an example of a download page where you choose either of:
**64 bit**
**Anything else**

Hope that helps you!

Thanks irishbitte for answering my question...

I have one more question though

do you like GNOME or KDE Better?

I've read its all about personal preference, but what do you think?

Thanks again,
EpicAsian

PS.. I try to run the USB Fedora on my Desktop and I get a booting error...anybody know why?

Regarding your booting error, sounds unusual, can you post the error?

Personally I prefer Gnome, however it is a matter of choice. Funnily enough, given the confusion about you and mac's, I have mine set up looking a little like a mac, though very much Gnome! Here is a screenshot: http://img2.pict.com/27/0b/21/201774...screenshot.png. Let me know what you think!

I reckon the software in Gnome is a little easier to use, KDE advocates will say that KDE is very suitable for enterprise environments, and there is some truth to each. Depends what you wanna use your machine for of course!

If you dont mind slight slower boot up time and more ram used
go with gnome/kde

If you want a low-ram, faster booting desktop
go with LXDE

and what error are you getting epicasian?

To answer you're guy's question about my booting error...this is what I do:


Put my USB drive in the USB port,
Power on my computer,
press the F12 to get to the boot menu,
Select USB device,
then, the screen says: "Boot Error"

Sorry if I wasn't descriptive enough, tell me if I need to add more info...


Hey irishbitte, what do you mean "given the confusion about you and mac's"?
just wondering lol

and i like the way you're desktop looks,the OS X desktop always appealed to me, it's cleaner lol

Tell me if I need to add more info,
EpicAsian

How did you install fedora to usb?
can you tell me the contents of usb, what files/folders are there
have "show hidden files" enabled in filemanager

do/have other distro's booted off this usb on this pc?

i installed the OS w/ the usblive creator from fedora, it works on my laptop (the OS)...

I do not have other OS's on the same usb, this was my first try for a USB live OS
(edit) i only have vista on the pc ugh)

here is a screenshot

Damn!
What a Desktop!
You know all those icons hog resources right??
you also should shutdown any unnecessary services in vista...

anyway
um....
I usually get that "boot error" if there is no syslinux.cfg on the usb
where is your syslinux.cfg?
what folders/files are on usb??
