- Experimental use with caution ?
installing sugar-desktop from another DE (ie gnome3 or KDE) as a second Desktop Environment
- In Root Terminal:
yum install @sugar-desktop sugar-runner xorg-x11-server-Xephyr
- sugar-runner is the replacement for sugar-emulator.
- It allows sugar to run full screen from another DE (ie gnome3 or KDE) menu as: Education/sugar
- Tested in LXDE; Mate; Cinnamon, Gnome3 and KDE and works well from Education/Sugar in their menus.

know how to force a reinstall of a kernel
- yum reinstall kernel isn't doing anything
- you need to re-run the scriptlets
- this is not done with "yum reinstall"
- "rpm -q --scripts kernel-version-release" would tell you what to rerun

Dracut Options
"The root filesystem used by the kernel is specified in the boot configuration file, as always. The traditional root=/dev/hda1 style device specification is allowed. If a label is used, as in root=LABEL=rootPart the initrd will search all available devices for an ext2 or ext3 filesystem with the appropriate label, and mount that device as the root filesystem. root=UUID=uuidnumber will mount the partition with that UUID as the root filesystem."
Network Boot Options
wayland
- EXPERIMENTAL FEATURE
- Not ready maybe in f21?
- To run gnome-shell under Wayland, execute the following command in a terminal:
gnome-session --session=gnome-wayland

Gnome Initial Setup
- Screenshots of gnome3 initial setup with explanatory text
- Be sure to enter both root and user in anaconda
- Gnome-initial-setup requires a stornger password than anaconda does.
- This is important if you plan to use multiple Desktop Environments (DE) you will end up with 2 Users once you run the 2nd DE. ie gnome3 and KDE
- If you do not setup the user name and password in anaconda G-I-S will run in anaconda and repeat I-S when you boot the second DE
- Bug in G-I-S and I-S (Initial-setup)
