Fedora Core 2 Tips

Recommended Posts

I am new to Linux but am looking to learn a few things. First of all, I just finished my install of Fedore Core 2 last week and loaded all of the updates. I ran into a problem with the kernal update because the machine would still boot into the old kernal unless I manually change it on every start up. Any suggestions?

 

Also, the main function of my Fedora machnine is going to be a code repository for CVS. I have found information about subversion and it claims to be better the CVS. Has anyone had experience using both? Looking for suggestions....

you need to manually change the default kernel in grub.

 

Go into a term window (or a command prompt if you booted there), and type:

 

vi /etc/grub.conf

 

 

inside of grub.conf, there is a line that says

 

default=1

 

change it to

 

default=0

 

 

EDIT: I forgot to say, if you're really really new to linux and have never used vi, you have to press the insert button before you start editing, and when you're done you have to press <esc>, then :wq to save and quit. If you knew this, sorry for being patronizing, if you didn't, learn to use vi, it will be your best friend.
