How to Install Fedora

By -





Steps

  1. 1 Download the live image from the fedoraproject website. If you are a KDE Fan, go here.
  2. 2 Burn the .iso image to a CD, DVD or a USB stick. Make sure that you write it at a slow speed so that nothing gets broken in the process.
  3. 3 Change the BIOS settings. If you are using a live USB, you might need to go into your BIOS and change the boot priority in order to boot from your USB. You can access your computer's BIOS by pressing ‘F2’ or ‘Delete’ on most computers when the computer is booting up. If you are using a CD or DVD, ignore this step as generally CDs are first in boot priority.
  4. 4 Be sure to select "Live Drive" when the option screen first appears. If you select to install it, it can potentially delete everything from your system.
  5. 5 Explore the system. The most notable thing about you should toy with is the window manager which allows you to see pretty cool effects. You should also explore around the applications already installed in the OS and see what else is available with their package manager.
  6. 6 Install the live image to your hard drive .If you have made the decision to install Linux on your system, click on the "Install to Hard drive" icon on the workspace.

    Choose the mode of installation. You could:
    • Use entire drive. As the title says, Fedora would clear off all the data on your hard drive and use the complete space for its installation. But beware that you could lose all data on your drive .
    • Use free space. If you have unallotted space on your hard drive, all that space is used for Fedora installation .
    • Replace existing Linux System. If you are sure that you are running another Linux distribution and are quite keen to remove it, use this option and click next.
    • Shrink current system. This option allows you to shrink any of the partitions so as to install Fedora.
    • Create Custom Layout. Allows you to create and delete partitions manually.(Experienced users only.)

How to Create a Yoga Goddess Illustration in Adobe Illustrator

As the music begins to play, a soft breeze fills the space with the undeniable smell of magnolia blossoms. She gracefully enters and begins a “tree pose” with her hands in Namaste form. Our female figure is inspired by the Indian culture for its gorgeous use of color and the grace of its yoga formations. I hope you’ll enjoy the journey as we retrace, step by step to enlightenment.  1. Becoming Flesh and Blood Step 1 Our first step will be to bring in our sketch. I've scanned her in at 300 dpi to catch as much of the detail as possible. I'm not as picky about my choice of initial drawing tools, and this particular project was completed with a mechanical pencil. We'll be working with a clean line quality from Adobe Photoshop and now we can begin to work. I'm working in Adobe Illustrator at a size of 8.5 x 11 inches for this specific project. When I'm ready to start my layers, I'll label my first layer as "Sketch" and lock the layer to make su...

In this tutorial, we are going to design a set of icons in Adobe Photoshop. An icon set needs to have the same background and theme. For learning purposes, we are going to design a sun icon, an ice flake icon, and an RSS icon. Let's get started. 1. Preparing the Canvas Step 1 Start by making a new file with size 350 px × 350 px . Click the small box next to the  Background Contents  option to change the new canvas color. Step 2 In the Color Picker dialog box, select grey ( #e0e0e2 ) for the canvas background color. Step 3 It is always a good idea to keep your work structured from the start. Make a new layer group and name it  sun . This is where we will place all layers used in the sun icon. 2. Designing the Icon Base Step 1 Use the  Rounded Rectangle Tool  to draw a rectangle with size  83 px × 64 px and  8 px  radius. To get accurate results, use the  Properties  panel. In this panel, you can simply enter the exact siz...
