Fedora 11

Meski sangat telat, tapi tak apalah kalau hanya untuk sedikit berkomentar tentang Fedora 11 “Leonidas”. Di versi teranyar ini, sekilas sangat enak dipandang. Setelah pertamakali mengupgrade versi ke-10 ke versi 11, cukup baik untuk deteksi kesehatan harddisk. Untuk tampilannya, yang pasti tidak menjemukan. Sayangnya, saya masih belum bisa memanfaatkan full untuk Leonidas dikarenakan saya sedang ada mata kuliah yang mau nggak mau harus menggunakan W**X*. Meski demikian, semangat Go Opensource tidak akan lepas begitu saja.. amin

Repo Lokal

Pada posting sebelumnya, saya sudah menjelaskan sedikit mengenai pengalaman saya ketika menginstall Fedora 8. Untuk saat ini, saya menggunakan Fedora 10 ‘Cambridge’. Setelah selesai menginstall Fedora 10, tampilan booting hanya layar warna hitam dan ada process bar di bagian bawah. Setelah saya browsing, saya temukan solusinya.
Tambahkan teks: vga=0×318, pada baris kernel /vmlinuz—–ro root—-rhgb quiet

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
#boot=/dev/sda

default=0

timeout=1

splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

hiddenmenu

title Fedora (2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686)

root (hd0,0)

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 ro root=UUID=9fb4477e-0efc-4c75-8f15-61e8df8a2a1d rhgb quiet vga=0×318

initrd /initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686.img

setelah kita tambahkan teks tersebut, boot dengan Plymouth akan berjalan dengan baik.

Di Fedora, jika kita menginginkan Add/Remove Software, secara default harus terhubung di internet. Cukup membingungkan jika kompie kita tidak terhubung dengan internet. Oleh karena itu, setelah selesai install saya copy semua Package baik dari CD/DVD install maupun repository. Misal saya copy di folder /home/repo.
1.    Install createrepo, kemudian buat repo lokal

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
#createrepo /home/repo
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

2.    Edit file pada /etc/yum.repos.d/ yaitu file fedora.repo dan fedora-updates.repo dengan mengganti enabled=1 dengan enabled=0

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
#gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
#gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

3.    Buat file repo baru, misal dengan nama file fedora-new.repo

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
#gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-new.repo
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

4.    Pada file repo baru tersebut, tentukan alamat dari package yang sudah di copy tadi

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
[fedora_repo]
name=Fedora-10 $releasever – $basearch-fedora_repo

baseurl=file:///home/repo

enabled=1

gpgcheck=0

gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

5.    Lakukan clean dan update yum

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
#yum clean all
#yum check-update
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Jika kita ingin menginstall program, misal XMMS

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
#yum install xmms
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

tunggu proses install hingga selesai.

Selain install melalui console, bisa melalui YUMEX yaitu aplikasi yum berbasis grafis.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
#yum install yumex
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Di Fedora 10, aplikasi realplayer tidak ada dalam paket repository. Anda bisa download sendiri di sini
Dan silahkan menikamati Fedora 10 dengan menambah atau mengurangi program yang anda inginkan.
