== Introduction ==
The Fedora Project is an openly-developed project designed by Red Hat,
open for general participation, led by a meritocracy, and following a
set of project objectives. The results from this project include
Fedora Core, a complete, general-purpose operating system built
exclusively from open source software.
NOTE: Fedora Core is not a supported product of Red Hat, Inc.
For more information, refer to the Fedora Project overview later in this document.
The following topics related to Fedora Core 4test3 are covered in this document:
* Introduction (this section)
* Hardware requirements
* Overview of this release
* Installation-related notes
* Package-specific notes
* Packages added/removed/deprecated
* An overview of the Fedora Project
== Hardware Requirements ==
The following information represents the minimum hardware requirements
necessary to successfully install Fedora Core 4test3.
Note
The compatibility/availability of other hardware components (such as
video and network cards) may be required for specific installation
modes and/or post-installation usage.
=== CPU Requirements ===
This section lists the CPU specifications required by Fedora Core
4test3.
Note
The following CPU specifications are stated in terms of Intel
processors. Other processors (notably, offerings from AMD, Cyrix, and
VIA) that are compatible with and equivalent to the following Intel
processors may also be used with Fedora Core.
* Minimum: Pentium-class
Fedora Core 4test3 is optimized for Pentium 4 CPUs, but also supports
earlier CPUs (such as Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III,
and including AMD and VIA variants). This approach has been taken
because Pentium-class optimizations actually result in reduced
performance for non-Pentium-class processors, and Pentium 4 scheduling
is sufficiently different (while making up the bulk of today's
processors) to warrant this change.
* Recommended for text-mode: 200 MHz Pentium-class or better
* Recommended for graphical: 400 MHz Pentium II or better
=== Hard Disk Space Requirements ===
This section lists the disk space required to install Fedora Core 4test3.
Note
The disk space requirements listed below represent the disk space
taken up by Fedora Core 4test3 after the installation is
complete. However, additional disk space is required during the
installation to support the installation environment. This additional
disk space corresponds to the size of /Fedora/base/stage2.img (on
CD-ROM 1) plus the size of the files in /var/lib/rpm on the installed
system.
In practical terms, this means that as little as an additional 90MB
can be required for a minimal installation, while as much as an
additional 175MB can be required for an "everything" installation.
Also, keep in mind that additional space will be required for any user
data, and at least 5% free space should be maintained for proper
system operation.
* Custom Installation (Minimal): 620MB
* Server: 1.1GB
* Personal Desktop: 2.3GB
* Workstation: 3.0GB
* Custom Installation (Everything): 6.9GB
=== Memory Requirements ===
This section lists the memory required to install Fedora Core 4test3.
* Minimum for text-mode: 64MB
* Minimum for graphical: 192MB
* Recommended for graphical: 256MB
== Overview of This Release ==

== Installation-Related Notes ==
This section outlines anything noteworthy that is related to Anaconda
(the Fedora Core installation program) and installing Fedora Core
4test3 in general.
Note
If you intend to download the Fedora Core 4test3 DVD ISO image, keep
in mind that not all file downloading tools can accommodate files
larger than 2GB in size. For example, wget will exit with a File size
limit exceeded error.
The curl and ncftpget file downloading tools do not have this
limitation, and can successfully download files larger than 2GB.
Bittorrent is another method for downloading large files.
Anaconda Notes
* The Fedora Core installation program has the ability to test the
integrity of the installation media. It works with the CD, DVD,
hard drive ISO, and NFS ISO installation methods. Red Hat
recommends that you test all installation media before starting
the installation process, and before reporting any
installation-related bugs (many of the bugs reported are actually
due to improperly-burned CDs). To use this test, type linux
mediacheck at the boot: prompt.
* Memory testing may be performed prior to installing Fedora Core by
entering memtest86 at the boot: prompt. This causes the Memtest86
standalone memory testing software to run. Memtest86 memory
testing continues until the Esc key is pressed.
NOTE: You must boot from CD-ROM 1 (or a rescue CD-ROM) in order to use this feature.
* Fedora Core 4test3 supports graphical FTP and HTTP
installations. However, due to the necessity of containing the
installer image in RAM, only systems with more than 128MB of RAM
(or systems booted from CD-ROM 1, which contains the installer
image) can use the graphical installer. Systems with 128MB or
less will continue to use the text-based installer.
== Installation-Related Issues ==
* Certain hardware configurations (particularly those with LCD
displays) may experience problems while starting the Fedora Core
installation program. In these instances, restart the
installation, and add the "nofb" option to the boot command line.
NOTE: Chinese, Japanese, and Korean graphical installations started
using the "nofb" option will start in English, and then switch to the
appropriate language once the graphical phase of the installation
process begins.
* Some Sony VAIO(R) notebook systems may experience problems
installing Fedora Core from CD-ROM. If this happens, restart the
installation process and add the following option to the boot
command line:
pci=off ide1=0x180,0x386
This option allows the installation to proceed normally; any devices
not detected due to the use of this option will be configured the
first time Fedora Core is booted.
* Serial mice are known to be inoperative during
installation. However, there are indications that serial mice work
properly in X after the installation has completed. Refer to bug
119474 for more information:
[6]http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119474
* There have been issues observed when upgrading Red Hat Linux
7.<x>, 8.0, 9, and Fedora Core 1 systems running Ximian GNOME. The
issue is caused by version overlap between the official Red Hat
Linux RPMs (or the ones from the Fedora Project) and the Ximian
RPMs. This configuration is not supported. You have several
choices in resolving this issue:
1) You may remove Ximian GNOME from your system prior to upgrading to
Fedora Core.
2) You may upgrade your system, and then immediately reinstall Ximian
GNOME.
3) You may upgrade your system, and then immediately remove all
remaining Ximian RPMs, replacing them with the corresponding Fedora
Core RPMs.
You must resolve the version overlap using one of the above choices.
Failure to do so will result in an unstable GNOME configuration.
== Package-Specific Notes ==
The following sections contain information regarding packages that
have undergone significant changes for Fedora Core 4test3. For easier
access, they are organized using the same groups used in Anaconda.
=== Base ===
This section contains information related to basic system components.
slocate database
The database needed by the locate utility is no longer created by default.
Enable the database creation by setting DAILY_UPDATE to "yes" in
/etc/updatedb.conf if you want to use locate.
openssh
The version of OpenSSH in Fedora Core 4test3 contains OpenSSH 3.9
includes strict permission and ownership checks for the ~/.ssh/config
file. These checks mean that ssh will exit if this file does not have
appropriate ownership and permissions.
Therefore, make sure that ~/.ssh/config is owned by the owner of ~/,
and that its permissions are set to mode 600.
In addition, OpenSSH is no longer configured to request X11 forwarding
by default when connecting to servers. To enable X11 forwarding, the
-X or -Y option must be specified, or the ForwardX11 option must be
enabled in the ~/.ssh/config file.
The behavior of ssh clients that are invoked with the -X flag has
changed. In OpenSSH 3.8 and later, X11 forwarding is performed in a
way that applications run as untrusted clients by default. Previously,
X11 forwarding was performed so that applications always ran as
trusted clients. Some applications may not function properly when run
as untrusted clients. To forward X11 so that applications are run as
trusted clients, invoke ssh with the -Y flag instead of the -X flag,
or set ForwardX11Trusted in the ~/.ssh/config file.
=== Core ===
This section contains the most elemental components of Fedora Core,
including the kernel.
* In order to eliminate the redundancy inherent in providing a
separate package for the kernel source code when that source code
already exists in the kernel's .src.rpm file, Fedora Core 4test3
no longer includes the kernel-source package. Users that require
access to the kernel sources can find them in the kernel .src.rpm
file. To create an exploded source tree from this file, perform
the following steps (note that <version> refers to the version
specification for your currently-running kernel):
1. Obtain the kernel-<version>.src.rpm file from one of the
following sources:
* The SRPMS directory on the appropriate "SRPMS" CD iso image
* The FTP site where you got the kernel package
* By running the following command:
up2date --get-source kernel
2. Install kernel-<version>.src.rpm (given the default RPM
configuration, the files this package contains will be
written to /usr/src/redhat/)
3. Change directory to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/, and issue the
following command:
rpmbuild -bp --target=<arch> kernel.spec
(Where <arch> is the desired target architecture.)
On a default RPM configuration, the kernel tree will be
located in /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/.
4. In resulting tree, the configurations for the specific
kernels shipped in Fedora Core 4test3 are in the /configs/
directory. For example, the i686 SMP configuration file is
named /configs/kernel-<version>-i686-smp.config. Issue the
following command to place the desired configuration file
in the proper place for building:
cp <desired-file> ./.config
5. Issue the following command:
make oldconfig
You can then proceed as usual.
Note
An exploded source tree is not required to build kernel modules
against the currently in-use kernel.
For example, to build the foo.ko module, create the following file
(named Makefile) in the directory containing the foo.c file:
obj-m := foo.o
KDIR := /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
PWD := $(shell pwd)
default:
$(MAKE) -C $(KDIR) SUBDIRS=$(PWD) modules
Issue the make command to build the foo.ko module.
=== Language Support ===
This section includes information related to the support of various
languages under Fedora Core.
=== Server Configuration Tools ===
This section contains information related to various server
configuration tools.
=== Sound and Video ===
This section contains information related to multimedia applications.
=== Web Server ===
This section contains information related to Web-related tools.
php
Version 5.0 of PHP is now included, which includes a number of changes
to the language along with significant performance improvements.
Please refer to the PHP documentation for more information on
migrating from PHP 4.3 to PHP 5.0:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/migration5.php
The following extensions have been added:
* the "mysqli" extension, the newly MySQL interface designed
specifically for MySQL 4; included in the php-mysql
* the "soap" extension, which can be used to implement a SOAP server
or client
=== Windows File Server ===
This section contains information related to Samba, software that
makes it possible to share files between Linux and Windows systems.
samba
Browsing of Windows shares (also known as SMB browsing) fails on
Fedora Core 4test3 systems that have the standard firewall
configured. This is most easily noticed in the failure of Nautilus to
display shares. The failure is due to the firewall disrupting the
broadcast mode of SMB browsing, which is Samba's default
setting. There are two workarounds:
* Configure a WINS server on the network, and set the "wins server"
option in smb.conf to the address of the WINS server.
* Disable the firewall
Warning
Depending on your system and network configurations, disabling the
firewall can greatly increase the chance of your system being attacked
and compromised. Make sure you fully understand the risks before
undertaking this step.
For additional information, refer to the following bug report:
[8]https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=133478
=== Macintosh File Server ===
This section contains information related to netatalk, software that
makes it possible to share files between Linux and Macintosh systems.
netatalk
The 2.x version of netatalk uses a different method to store resource
forks, and may use a different file name encoding scheme. Upgrading to
Fedora Core 4 may result in data loss. Please read the documentation of
the netatalk 1.x to 2.x upgrade before upgrading to Fedora Core 4.
The netatalk upgrade information is available directly from the
netatalk site:
http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/2.0/htmldocs/upgrade.html
It is also included in the netatalk installation for Fedora Core 4, the
files are at:
/usr/share/doc/netatalk-2.0.2/doc/Netatalk-Manual.pdf - numbered page
25, document page 33.
or
/usr/share/doc/netatalk-2.0.2/doc/htmldocs/upgrade.html
=== X Window System ===
This section contains information related to the X Window System
implementation provided with Fedora Core.
xorg-x11
* Users new to the X.org X11 implementation should take note of a
few differences between it and the XFree86.org X11 implementation
which shipped in previous Red Hat operating systems. In
particular, the names of some files have changed:
X Server Binary:
* XFree86 X11: XFree86
* X.org X11: Xorg
X Server Configuration File:
* XFree86 X11: /etc/X11/XF86Config
* X.org X11: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
X Server Log File
* XFree86 X11: /var/log/XFree86.$DISPLAY.log
* X.org X11: /var/log/Xorg.$DISPLAY.log
When configuring or troubleshooting your X server configuration, be
sure that you are using the correct files.
* There has been some confusion regarding font-related issues under
the X Window System in recent versions of Fedora Core (and
versions of Red Hat Linux before it.) At the present time, there
are two font subsystems, each with different characteristics:
- The original (15+ year old) subsystem is referred to as the "core X
font subsystem". Fonts rendered by this subsystem are not
anti-aliased, are handled by the X server, and have names like:
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1
The newer font subsystem is known as "fontconfig", and allows
applications direct access to the font files. Fontconfig is often used
along with the "Xft" library, which allows applications to render
fontconfig fonts to the screen with antialiasing. Fontconfig uses more
human-friendly names like:
Luxi Sans-10
* Over time, fontconfig/Xft will replace the core X font
subsystem. At the present time, applications using the Qt 3 or GTK
2 toolkits (which would include KDE and GNOME applications) use
the fontconfig and Xft font subsystem; almost everything else uses
the core X fonts.
In the future, Fedora Core may support only fontconfig/Xft in place of
the XFS font server as the default local font access method.
NOTE: An exception to the font subsystem usage outlined above is
OpenOffice.org (which uses its own font rendering technology).
If you wish to add new fonts to your Fedora Core 4test3 system, you
must be aware that the steps necessary depend on which font subsystem
is to use the new fonts. For the core X font subsystem, you must:
1. Create the /usr/share/fonts/local/ directory (if it doesn't already exist):
mkdir /usr/share/fonts/local/
2. Copy the new font file into /usr/share/fonts/local/
3. Update the font information by issuing the following commands (note
that, due to formatting restrictions, the following commands may
appear on more than one line; in use, each command should be
entered on a single line):
ttmkfdir -d /usr/share/fonts/local/ -o /usr/share/fonts/local/fonts.scale
mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/local/
4. If you had to create /usr/share/fonts/local/, you must then add it
to the X font server (xfs) path:
chkfontpath --add /usr/share/fonts/local/
Adding new fonts to the fontconfig font subsystem is more
straightforward; the new font file only needs to be copied into the
/usr/share/fonts/ directory (individual users can modify their
personal font configuration by copying the font file into the
~/.fonts/ directory).
After the new font has been copied, use fc-cache to update the font
information cache:
fc-cache <directory>
(Where <directory> would be either the /usr/share/fonts/ or ~/.fonts/
directories.)
Individual users may also install fonts graphically, by browsing
fonts:/// in Nautilus, and dragging the new font files there.
NOTE: If the font filename ends with ".gz", it has been compressed
with gzip, and must be decompressed (with the gunzip command) before
the fontconfig font subsystem can use the font.
* Due to the transition to the new font system based on
fontconfig/Xft, GTK+ 1.2 applications are not affected by any
changes made via the Font Preferences dialog. For these
applications, a font can be configured by adding the following
lines to the file ~/.gtkrc.mine:
style "user-font" {
fontset = "<font-specification>"
}
widget_class " *" style "user-font"
(Where <font-specification> represents a font specification in the
style used by traditional X applications, such as
"-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-- *-120- *- *- *- *- *- *".)

== An Overview of the Fedora Project ==
The goal of the Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community to
build a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from
open source software. Development will be done in a public forum. The
project will produce time-based releases of Fedora Core about 2-3
times a year, with a public release schedule. The Red Hat engineering
team will continue to participate in building Fedora Core and will
invite and encourage more outside participation than was possible in
the past. By using this more open process, we hope to provide an
operating system more in line with the ideals of free software and
more appealing to the open source community.
For more information, refer to the Fedora Project website:
[10]http://fedora.redhat.com/
In addition to the website, the following mailing lists are available:
* fedora-list at redhat.com -- For users of Fedora Core releases
* fedora-test-list at redhat.com -- For testers of Fedora Core test releases
* fedora-devel-list at redhat.com -- For developers, developers, developers
* fedora-docs-list at redhat.com -- For participants of the docs project
To subscribe to any of these lists, send an email with the word
"subscribe" in the subject to <listname>-request (where <listname> is
one of the above list names.)
NOTE: If you have subscribed in the past to rhl-list, rhl-beta-list,
rhl-devel-list, or rhl-docs-list, your subscriptions have been
retained.
The Fedora Project also includes an IRC (Internet Relay Chat)
channel. IRC is a real-time, text-based form of communication. With
it, you can have conversations with multiple people in an open channel
or chat with someone privately one-on-one.
To talk with other Fedora Project participants via IRC, access
freenode IRC network. Initially, you can use irc.freenode.net as the
IRC server, although you may decide to select a server that is
geographically closer to you. Refer to the freenode website
([11]http://www.freenode.net/) for more information. Fedora Project
participants frequent the #fedora channel, while Fedora Project
developers can often be found on the #fedora-devel channel. Some of
the larger projects may have their own channels as well; this
information can be found on the project pages.
NOTE: Red Hat has no control over the Fedora IRC channels or their content.
