How to install from the repo on the DVD

[Bug 888307]--Satellit 12:35, 18 December 2012 (EST)

--- Comment #1 from Andre Robatino <robatino@fedoraproject.org> ---
I've found (testing on F17) that if I create a local.repo file in
 /etc/yum.repos.d/ with the contents:

 [local]
 name=Local
 baseurl=file:///dev/sr0/
 enabled=0
 gpgcheck=0

I  can then use the DVD as a local repo (disabling all other repos to avoid
downloading updated packages) with a command such as
yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=local install XXXXX

Tutorial: Make a SoaS.img file for repeated installs

Note: The following are .img files are provided to workaround the bug that SoaS 8 fails to run a non-Live install to a hard disk or USB drive.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=893218#c15

Prebuilt sugar.img files to dd write to a USB drive

Look at the tutorial above to see how to write to a USB drive.

Note USB drives used with these files seem to require Fedora "liveusb-creator --reset-mbr" to be run on them to make them boot-able again for other uses.

How to install VirtualBox in fedora 18

Updated 03/08/2013

RECOMMENDED: Oracle VirtualBox downloads

VirtualBox downloads Windows/Linux/Intel Macs

Oracle VirtualBox install does not start as downloaded and installed (dkms and gcc are not installed in f18)
In root terminal:

yum install dkms gcc

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Tutorial: How to do an install in VirtualBox

Pre built Sugar-Desktop Virtual Box appliance to import

Install from SoaS live CD/dd USB

NOTE the following method does not seem to always work for SoaS live spins (Installs to VirtualBox do work).: In terminal application:

su
liveinst

Install Sugar 0.98.2 from another Desktop

Terminal:

yum groupinstall sugar-desktop
yum install sugar-emulator

Start Sugar from Education/Sugar

Put it in a USB stick and anaconda will use it to repeat install.

Alpha-TC2: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/19-Alpha-TC2/Fedora/

Do not install kernel if upgrading to f19

"... So I installed fedora-release from the F19 repo and did a yum distro-sync today. Then I installed a new kernel build. Then I rebooted. Then nothing would boot at all. It turns out this is because the release name of Fedora 19 is: Schrödinger's Cat with a single quote used as an apostrophe. That release name gets written into the grub entry for a kernel when you're installing it. ...The single quote in the release name terminates the quotes early, and leaves the rest of the stuff that's meant to be inside the single quotes as garbage lying around the config file. ..."

Build Your Own Remix with Fedora

Build a live Remix CD/DVD.iso with livecd-tools and spin-kickstart files.
Tutorial with narrated screenshots

Kernel_modules

Kernel_modules are pieces of code that can be loaded and unloaded into the kernel upon demand. They extend the functionality of the kernel without the need to reboot the system.

Live media Creator

livemedia-creator is now included in Lorax as of release 17.1 and can be used to create live iso's using modified spin kickstarts.

Fedora 17 LiveCD's will continue to use livecd-creator.

Fedora 18 will use livemedia-creator to create LiveCDs. This will require changing how koji is used for the LiveCD builds.

sugar-build

http://sugarlabs.org/~buildbot/docs/build.html

Daniel Narvaez has made a number of improvements to sugar-build,

which has by-and-large replaced sugar-jhbuild as the preferred development environment for Fedora and Ubuntu.

+"... So I installed fedora-release from the F19 repo and did a yum
+distro-sync today. Then I installed a new kernel build. Then I rebooted.
+Then nothing would boot at all.
+It turns out this is because the release name of Fedora 19 is:
+Schrödinger's Cat
+with a single quote used as an apostrophe. That release name gets
+written into the grub entry for a kernel when you're installing it.
+...The single quote in the release name terminates the quotes early, and leaves the rest of the
+stuff that's meant to be inside the single quotes as garbage lying
+around the config file. ..."
