You can start reading thoroughly www.fedorafaq.org which is a good site for starters. Currently you can find answers referred to the Fedora 10 distribution (last one). > I wish there was a tutorial on setting sudo or whatever I need to set > up in order to properly install these packages. A couple of tips of mine: 1. Installing Fedora 10 from the liveCD is the easiest way. 2. The unix/linux way requires to have an omnipowerful user called root. When you install linux, normally are asked to set the root password. Remember it! 3. The graphic interface requires a different user, when the machine is first rebooted. You can use your name as username (lets say christopher), and you will write a password. Remember it, too. 4. Learn to use the console (main menu/system tools/terminal). When you first open the console, you are the user "christopher" you created on 3. 5. To get root privileges, issue the "su -" command. That will allow you to configure your computer and install software. 6. You can try installing yumex, which is a frontend for installing software: "yum -y install yumex". There you can find azureus. > Can anyone help???? I am still having trouble getting my two network > systems to talk to each other and see each other... You will need a little help about your network configuration. Maybe this commands (as root) can help (upper/lowercase is meaningful) if your network does not work: # service NetworkManager stop # system-config-network-tui (there you configure your network and DNS, there is a graphic interface for that, but its buggy when first installed) # service network start If that does not work, by rebooting you'll get to your last right config. > it seems that each needs a user and password. Cant understand: each system? each network?, anyway, both questions are confusing. If you've installed linux on two computers, you must just remember the passwords. :) ---------------------------------------------- Rodolfo Alcazar - rodolfo.alcazar@xxxxxxxxxxxx otbits.blogspot.com / counter.li.org: #367962 ---------------------------------------------- "Gott existiert, weil die Mathematik widerspruchsfrei ist, und der Teufel existiert, weil wir das nicht beweisen können." - André Weil -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
