Installing Fedora 11, 10 or 9 From USB Stick

To install Fedora 11, please follow the instructions given for Fedora 10 below but make sure the bootable partition is slightly bigger because the net install iso on Fedora 11 is bigger than the one in Fedora 10. I gave the bootable partition 512 megs and it worked perfectly.

The aim of this post is to explain how to install Fedora directly from a USB stick containing the Fedora*-DVD.iso image. For those impatient, just go to the Instructions section.

It’s been almost 2 years since I said goodbye to Windows and moved my work laptop to Fedora, and I couldn’t be happier with the move. If you wanna find out why I’m happier with Fedora, just carry on reading my blog over the coming months. For the moment, I’ll be focusing on the Fedora installation process. One of the best things about Fedora is that it gets released twice a year so you keep upgrading your machine to the get the latest features, latest bugs…etc. This means that you end up downloading and burning a Fedora ISO into a brand new DVD every 6 months. As you can imagine, I was quickly piling up DVDs that were useless soon after. So, after having looking around in electronic shops, I realised that USB keys had gone down in price and that you could get an 8GB USB stick for little money. This happened at the same time that I was getting a new laptop at work, so I wondered, what about I get myself one of those sticks, put the latest Fedora image on it and install it from there rather than burning yet another DVD? For sure, installing from an USB key was always going to be faster than from a DVD, so that was a plus as well.

For some reason, maybe because people haven’t tried this that much, it took me a while to find some decent instructions on how to do this. Eventually, this came from Michale Hartley’s comment on Haral Hoyer’s blog entry on “Fedora 8 on a USB stick”. However, I had some issues with these instructions, specially when trying to create the bootable partition in the USB stick, so I ended up writing my own set of instructions for Fedora 9:

Installing Fedora 9 from USB stick :
  1. Download Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso
  2. Download Fedora-9-i386-netinst.iso
  3. Create 2 ext3 partitions in USB stick (Hint: GParted is a wicked graphical tool to create partitions): A 200 MB bootable partition and another partition with the rest of space.
  4. Copy Fedora-9-i386-netinst.iso to 1st partition:
    # livecd-iso-to-disk Fedora-9-i386-netinst.iso /dev/sdb1
  5. Copy DVD iso image to 2nd partition:
    # mount /dev/sdb2 mnt-sdb2/
    # cp Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso mnt-sdb2/
    # umount mnt-sdb2/
  6. Reboot with USB key inserted.
  7. Select install from Hard Drive and select /dev/sdb2
When Fedora 10 was released, I followed the same steps to install as I did for Fedora 9 but I kept getting an error saying that no image could be found in /dev/sdb2 even though the Fedora 10 DVD iso image was there and had passed the SHA1SUM test successfully. After exchanging some emails within Red Hat I was pointed to the Installation from a Hard Drive section of the Fedora 10 documentation, which mentioned that install.img had to be present under the images/ directory in the partition from where Fedora 10 had to be installed.

On my 2nd attempt, I extracted the entire DVD iso and put it in the USB stick so that images/install.img would be found but doing only that didn’t work. In the 2nd phase of the installation, I was told that an image was missing. I just couldn’t understand what the hell was going on, so eventually, after a few further email exchanges, I worked out what needed doing: First, images/install.img had to be in the USB stick and next to the images/ folder, you needed to have Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso. So, here’re the instructions to install Fedora 10 from USB stick:

Installing Fedora 10 from USB stick
  1. Download Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso
  2. Download Fedora-10-i386-netinst.iso
  3. Create 2 ext3 partitions in USB stick (Hint: GParted is a wicked graphical tool to create partitions): A 200 MB bootable partition and another partition with the rest of space.
  4. Copy Fedora-10-i386-netinst.iso to 1st partition:
    # livecd-iso-to-disk Fedora-10-i386-netinst.iso /dev/sdb1
  5. Extract images/ folder from Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso and copy to 2nd partition:
    # mount -t iso9660 Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso mnt-dvd/ -o loop
    # mount /dev/sdb2 mnt-sdb2/
    # cp -rp mnt-dvd/images mnt-sdb2/
    # umount mnt-dvd/

    Note: If you do a ‘cp -a’ as recommended in the Installing from Hard Drive section, you’ll get an error like this, so just use ‘cp -rp’ instead:

    SELinux is preventing cp from creating a file with a context of iso9660_t on a filesystem. Usually this happens when you ask the cp command to maintain the context of a file when copying between file systems, “cp -a” for example. Not all file contexts should be maintained between the file systems. For example, a read-only file type like iso9660_t should not be placed on a r/w system. “cp -P” might be a better solution, as this will adopt the default file context for the destination.

  6. Copy DVD iso image to 2nd partition:
    # cp Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso mnt-sdb2/
    # umount mnt-sdb2/
  7. Reboot with USB key inserted.
  8. Select install from Hard Drive and select /dev/sdb2
And that’s it. I’m fully aware that these instructions could be simplified/reduced but can’t be bothered to do that right now. It’s not something that I’m doing on a daily basis and it works, so I’m happy to leave them as they are for the time being. If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to comment.

DNS Settings in FreeBSD 6.1 Linux

Actually, this tutorial just for add new hosts or servers into DNS Server based on FreeBSD 6.1 Linux. The DNS Server itself has installed and running well. In this example, I want to add 2 hosts with different name server, that are :
  1. dl1.batan.go.id for IP Address 202.46.3.77
  2. mrtg.batan.go.id for IP Address 202.46.3.71

The steps are :
1. Edit /etc/namedb/master/batan.go.id file.

Code :
# vi /etc/namedb/master/batan.go.id

Add 2 lines below on that file :
mrtg IN A 202.46.3.71
dl1 IN A 202.46.3.77

2. Restart named
Code :
# /etc/rc.d/named restart

3. Testing

From DNS Server :
Code :
# nslookup
> mrtg
Server: 202.46.2.222
Address: 202.46.2.222#53

Name: mrtg.batan.go.id
Address: 202.46.3.71
> dl1
Server: 202.46.2.222
Address: 202.46.2.222#53

Name: dl1.batan.go.id
Address: 202.46.3.77


From Client :
You can make another testing from Client with web browser. Enter address below for
testing on your address bar.
  1. http://mrtg.batan.go.id/
  2. ftp://dl1.batan.go.id/

Fedora 9 Not Support MP3

Fedora 9 does not come with built-in MP3 support. To get MP3 support with Fedora, you can use RPM Fusion's YUM repositories to download MP3 enabled RPMs.

Enable RPM Fusion
First, install RPM Fusion's free and nonfree YUM repositories. For detailed information about installing RPM Fusion, see: http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

Code :
#rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm

This command line will add few files on your /etc/yum.repos.d folder such as :
  1. rpmfusion-free-rawhide.repo
  2. rpmfusion-free.repo
  3. rpmfusion-free-updates.repo
  4. rpmfusion-free-updates-testing.repo

The function of these files is to make your yum can find another source of RPMs.

Now, the message become :
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm

Problem after upgrading from previous Fedora

Be carefull, after I upgraded my previous Fedora, a few application can not run properly. Such as Wine 1.1.23, play MP3 with XMMS 1.2.11, and play movie with Totem 2.26.3. Although I erase and install again the packets, still doesn't run properly. The packet that I re-install are xmms*, gstreamer*, wine*. * or star mean all about the packet.

At the beginning, the problem when I re-install is "Public key for xxxx is not installed". This message disappear when I change a line in repository configuration was changed. The line is "gpgcheck=1" become "gpgcheck=0" in every files on /etc/yum.repos.d/ folder.

For problem in Wine is, if you double click the icon, application is not running. That show up is error message. To fix this problem, right click the application, than choose Properties -> Open With -> Wine Windows Program Loader -> Close. The problem happen because application run with "Archieve Manager", not "Wine Windows Program Loader".

Upgrading from a previous Fedora

One of the great new features is to be able to do a live upgrade from an older Fedora release to Fedora 11. You simply have to install the new package called preupgrade and run the program as root:

# yum -y install preupgrade
# preupgrade

This process does take a LONG TIME, requires a high speed internet connection and has a couple minor gotchas but so far I've done a couple upgrades with no data loss and pretty much everything has "just worked" afterwards. You don't need to download and burn any ISOs as the upgrade is done on top of your current installation.

Available Fedora Releases :
  • Fedora 11 (Leonias)
  • Fedora 10 (Cambridge)

The computer do :
1. Download release info
2. Download installer images
3. Determine which packages to download
4. Download packages
5. Prepare and test upgrade

Total Volume : 1,6 GB

After the preupgrade script downloads a ton of packages it will reboot and begin the upgrade procedure automatically. Follow the instructions and after the upgrade is complete log back in and you'll have to fix a couple little things. One things is that you'll need to update the Livna repository file below and then clear the yum cache. Once you do that you'll have to do an update again and this time yum will automatically update any extra software you had installed from Livna with the previous version.

# rpm -Uhv http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-9.rpm

This too will take a while since it's likely that dozens of packages will need to be updated. Once it's done it's a good idea to reboot again for good measure and if all goes well you should be done!

mplayer, libcaca, libcucul problems on Fedora 9

Once in a time, may be you have problem with updating your Fedora 9. The error message usually like this :

libcucul.so.0 is needed by package mplayer-1.0-0.100.20090204svn.fc9.i386 : Success - empty transaction

To solve these problems, follow these steps :

1. Erase mplayer :
[root@lenovo ~]# yum erase mplayer

2. Download new packet of libcaca
[root@lenovo ~]# wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Everything/i386/os/Packages/libcaca-0.99-0.4.beta11.fc9.i386.rpm


3. Erase libcaca on your Fedora
[root@lenovo ~]# rpm -e libcaca

4. Install new packet of libcaca, not by YUM, but with RPM
[root@lenovo ~]# rpm -ivh libcaca-0.99-0.4.beta11.fc9.i386.rpm

5. Install new mplayer with YUM
[root@lenovo ~]# yum install mplayer

I have found and tested this method after I have compared with many techniques from many web sites, include blogs. I hope this method usefull for you all. Thanks.

Routing for multiple uplinks/providers

A common configuration is the following, in which there are two providers that connect a local network (or even a single machine) to the big Internet.


________
+------------+ /
| | |
+-------------+ Provider 1 +-------
__ | | | /
___/ \_ +------+-------+ +------------+ |
_/ \__ | if1 | /
/ \ | | |
| Local network -----+ Linux router | | Internet
\_ __/ | | |
\__ __/ | if2 | \
\___/ +------+-------+ +------------+ |
| | | \
+-------------+ Provider 2 +-------
| | |
+------------+ \________


There are usually two questions given this setup.

Split access

The first is how to route answers to packets coming in over a particular provider, say Provider 1, back out again over that same provider.

Let us first set some symbolical names. Let $IF1 be the name of the first interface (if1 in the picture above) and $IF2 the name of the second interface. Then let $IP1 be the IP address associated with $IF1 and $IP2 the IP address associated with $IF2. Next, let $P1 be the IP address of the gateway at Provider 1, and $P2 the IP address of the gateway at provider 2. Finally, let $P1_NET be the IP network $P1 is in, and $P2_NET the IP network $P2 is in.

One creates two additional routing tables, say T1 and T2. These are added in /etc/iproute2/rt_tables. Then you set up routing in these tables as follows:

ip route add $P1_NET dev $IF1 src $IP1 table T1
ip route add default via $P1 table T1
ip route add $P2_NET dev $IF2 src $IP2 table T2
ip route add default via $P2 table T2

Nothing spectacular, just build a route to the gateway and build a default route via that gateway, as you would do in the case of a single upstream provider, but put the routes in a separate table per provider. Note that the network route suffices, as it tells you how to find any host in that network, which includes the gateway, as specified above.

Next you set up the main routing table. It is a good idea to route things to the direct neighbour through the interface connected to that neighbour. Note the `src' arguments, they make sure the right outgoing IP address is chosen.

ip route add $P1_NET dev $IF1 src $IP1
ip route add $P2_NET dev $IF2 src $IP2

Then, your preference for default route:

ip route add default via $P1

Next, you set up the routing rules. These actually choose what routing table to route with. You want to make sure that you route out a given interface if you already have the corresponding source address:

ip rule add from $IP1 table T1
ip rule add from $IP2 table T2

This set of commands makes sure all answers to traffic coming in on a particular interface get answered from that interface.

Warning : Reader Rod Roark notes: 'If $P0_NET is the local network and $IF0 is its interface, the following additional entries are desirable:
ip route add $P0_NET dev $IF0 table T1
ip route add $P2_NET dev $IF2 table T1
ip route add 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table T1
ip route add $P0_NET dev $IF0 table T2
ip route add $P1_NET dev $IF1 table T2
ip route add 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo table T2

Now, this is just the very basic setup. It will work for all processes running on the router itself, and for the local network, if it is masqueraded. If it is not, then you either have IP space from both providers or you are going to want to masquerade to one of the two providers. In both cases you will want to add rules selecting which provider to route out from based on the IP address of the machine in the local network.

Load balancing

The second question is how to balance traffic going out over the two providers. This is actually not hard if you already have set up split access as above.

Instead of choosing one of the two providers as your default route, you now set up the default route to be a multipath route. In the default kernel this will balance routes over the two providers. It is done as follows (once more building on the example in the section on split-access):

ip route add default scope global nexthop via $P1 dev $IF1 weight 1 \
nexthop via $P2 dev $IF2 weight 1

This will balance the routes over both providers. The weight parameters can be tweaked to favor one provider over the other.

Note that balancing will not be perfect, as it is route based, and routes are cached. This means that routes to often-used sites will always be over the same provider.

Furthermore, if you really want to do this, you probably also want to look at Julian Anastasov's patches at http://www.ssi.bg/~ja/#routes , Julian's route patch page. They will make things nicer to work with.

Activate AntiSpam on FreeBSD

If you receive spam in your mailbox and you are the mail server Administrator or Operator, you can activate the antispam or sa-spamd by your self. To do this, just run a command line as a root privilege. Before you start the anti spam, it's better you need to know the status. Just make sure. Usually, the anti spam was placed on /usr/local/etc/rc.d/folder.



Code :
[root@serpong4] /usr/local/etc/rc.d # ./sa-spamd status
spamd is not running.
[root@serpong4] /usr/local/etc/rc.d # ./sa-spamd start
Starting spamd.
[root@serpong4] /usr/local/etc/rc.d #

NAT on Fedora 9

I want to access my computer with Private IP (192.168.1.3) from Internet. To do this, I need a computer can act as NAT (Network Address Translator). This computer was called as proxy server. Proxy server use Public IP = 202.46.3.71. To access Private IP from Internet, I use combination between Public IP and Port. For instance, we use port 9002. To activate NAT, I must run these command lines below on Proxy Server as root user.


Example:

# iptables -I FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -p tcp --dport 9002 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
# iptables -I PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp -d 202.46.3.71 --dport 9000 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j DNAT --to 192.168.1.3:80

To access my computer with Provate IP from Internet, I just use address : http://202.46.3.71:9000/

Yahoo! Groups Guidelines

Yahoo! Groups give Yahoo! users a place to meet, interact, and share ideas with each other. Just like a real community, you may have different opinions than other Yahoo! Groups users. The Yahoo! Groups experience is best when people remember a few rules. Yahoo! sets out the terms and conditions of your use of our services in the Yahoo! Terms of Service, our Guidelines, and in other rules that we may place on our site. For your use of Yahoo! Groups, some of the key things to remember are:

  1. You may not harass, abuse, threaten, or advocate violence against other members or individuals or groups.

  2. You may not post content that is harmful to minors.

  3. You may not post content that is obscene, otherwise objectionable, or in violation of federal or state law.

  4. Stay on topic. Although all groups are different, most groups appreciate it when you stay on topic. If you constantly stray from the topic you may be moderated or removed from a group altogether by its owner.

  5. You may not add members to a group without their permission.

  6. You may not use Yahoo! Groups for commercial or advertising purposes.

  7. You may not post content which infringes the intellectual property, privacy or other rights of third parties.

  8. You may only post adult-oriented content in age-restricted areas. You must be 18 years old or over to access these areas.

  9. Some content may be more appropriate in some contexts than others. Yahoo! reserves the right to remove content that it determines, in its sole discretion, to be inappropriate and in violation of our rules. For example, discussions or depictions of bestiality, incest, excretory acts, or child pornography may be inappropriate if placed in a sexual or otherwise exploitative context.

  10. You may not use Groups solely for the purpose of storing and archiving files.

  11. You cannot re-post or re-transmit content that belongs to another user without that user's permission. A Groups owner or moderator (or any other user) cannot re-post or re-transmit Groups content to any other site unless the person has the explicit permission of every group member whose content is being re-posted or re-transmitted.


If you are unsure whether your content is consistent with these policies, please err on the side of caution and do not post your content in Yahoo! Groups or any other Yahoo! community area.

NOTE: While Yahoo! does allow users to post adult-oriented content to the appropriate age-restricted areas, please remember that the Guidelines apply whether or not you are in an age-restricted area.

Yahoo!'s Right To Terminate

Yahoo! Groups, in its sole discretion, may terminate or remove any content, Group or your Yahoo! ID immediately and without notice if (a) Yahoo! believes that you have acted inconsistently with the spirit or the letter of the Yahoo! Terms of Service or the Yahoo! Groups Guidelines, or (b) Yahoo! believes you have violated or tried to violate the rights of others. Please help us keep Yahoo! Groups an enjoyable and positive experience. If you see a Group or content that violates our rules, please let us know by contacting us.
