OK. I can download anything but how do I install it?... Need a newer version of linux would like mint. have it on a stick drive but how do I install it. firefox too old, needs flash update. can download but again how to install. I get that I can extract it but to where and then run in what terminal?. Has got to be simple but at a loss as to how. Three years of networking school " in windows" so not a total loss of as to how to get my way around in dos, just learning linux. would even wait for a dvd to be sent to me in the mail if I have to but if I knew how I could do it now off the stick drive. when I try to boot from it just goes to blinking curser and nothing..... Please help. Thank you in advance...

Hi
Do you mean you hve the distro on a usb? If so how did you put the distro onto usb "unebootin" |
Why would you install Fedora 9? Fedora 18 is the current stable. Fedora 9 stopped receiving updates (including security updates) on 2009-07-10.

Re: just installed fedora 9. having newbie trouble
I do not know what type of system you are trying to put it on, but the easiest way to install any Linux flavor is to put it in VB. Download Virtual Box and install it. Create a new machine, accept the defaults, and when it's finished, either download an iso.image and mount it through the virtual CD or enable USB and boot it from there. To enable the USB you will have to download the USB extension from the VB website. You may use VMware too, but I know nothing about the steps for that. You may have a corrupted download that is preventing it from installing on the system. It happens. I had to download Fedora 18 3 times to get a clean copy. Hope this helps. :)

Hi and welcome to LQ!
Out of curiosity: why Fedora 9? Maybe you intended to say Fedora 19? (anyway it's an alpha release) ;) |
