I am going to show how to install fedora 20 64bit as a replacement for your existing XP or a fresh installation. Remember to backup important data before any installation procedure.
Fedora 20 64-bit
2. Download
Fedora live USB installer – 13MB file to make fedora bootable from your USB.
2GB min USB size needed
3. Install Live USB in your current XP/Win7/Win8 OS
and choose your C directory preferably. Don’t install in USB
4. Run LiveUSB Creater from below screen or from
Start Menu
5. Now it is time to choose the Fedora 20 OS that
we have downloaded. By default the target pen drive is highlighted if not
select the USB which you want to make as bootable
6. Click browse and choose the OS ISO file
7. Click create USB. ‘Extracting live image…’
appears. Wait for FEDORA 20 ISO to be copied to the USB. LiveUSB automatically
makes the USB boot-able.
8. Once completed, close the window and reboot
system with the pen drive present. Remember that you can either install fedora
alongside windows or do a complete replacement. Here I am showing a method to
replace windows XP.
9. Now boot into drive and start the installation by entering flash drive
10. Start Fedora Live. This will start a live
instance just like a demo from where you can install
11. Click install to hard drive and choose your
installation destination
12. Now choose your Hard Disk if multiple hard disks
are present and click done
13. Click custom partitioning and delete all
existing partitions. Please note that this will delete all existing data. So
carefully delete only the volumes that are unnecessary to get space.
14. After you have enough space for installation,
click ‘click here to create them automatically’
15. The partitions are automatically created and
shown as preview. Till here only changes are shown and not applied to the
system . In case you want to revert , click Reset All else click Done and click
‘Accept Changes’
16. Choose your root and user password. Don’t lose
these password as it is not possible to recover
17. Finally, wait for the installation to get over.
Once installation is done. Click Quit. Restart System
18. After you have rebooted and logged in, it is
time to do some installations to enable Flash, Java, Chrome, Mp3 etc…
19. Open app called Terminal and type ‘su’. Enter
root password.
20. We’ll now include the repositories which are
internet directories from which softwares are downloaded and installed. RPM
Fusion and Livna are the needed repositories. Open Terminal application and
paste the following
RPM Fusion:
su -c 'yum localinstall --nogpgcheck
http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E
