I’ve been looking all over the site to find the system requirements for the USB! what kind of USB device?? How many GB does it need to RUN Fedora 9???

Any USB key (even a 1 GB one) should do as long as your system supports booting from it. System requirements are the same as Fedora which can be found in the release notes. More information at

I liked the LiveUSB thing when Fedora 9 first came out… but now the LiveCD images are *SO OUTDATED* that it takes forever to update the LiveUSB stick… and there isn’t any way to update the kernel. If you have a 4GB or smaller USB stick, it is easy to overrun it with updates… especially a 2GB one. Forget even trying to update a 1GB LiveUSB. When I say “overrun it” I mean that the system reports an incorrect amount of disk freespace and thinks it has more room then it does and often the initial update (which is about 360MB of downloads for the GNOME LiveCD… not to mention the room needed to unpack and install everything) will fill the disk up… breaking it… and making it unbootable. It has gotten to the point that new installs now are unupdatable because they will break it.
We need an updated LiveCD image.
Now before you go and tell me to make my own. I’ve tried several times and I just can’t make it work. I think something was changed in a GDM update or something. Anyway, sometimes the .iso won’t fit on a CD (is too big) and other times it just turns out unbootable. Perhaps I’m doing something wrong but I am trying.

I’m so happy and use it properly.but some times Iface a problem on adding a hardware. I’m the beginer. and to apply it to the Cluster. And also in fedora version 9 i face a problem on writting Latex because of the editor.
What do you suggest me?

I tried live CD as well as install of Fedora 9 on my Acer aspire 3000 laptop but to utter disappointment. The display is so bad that nothing is visible. Fedora 9 was released without testing. I understand that some of the packages might be bleeding edge but even after running a yum update it is the same story. I had to revert back to Fedora 8. Also, the lack of configuration for X for features such as login screen and XDMCP is not excusable under any circumstances. If xorg packages were not ready then was there any justifiable need for rushing thru?

Great feature, but on a side note, where can I pick up a red hat cycling jersey?!?

P. Lehal,
[sarcasm] You must not have been home when Fedora came over to your house, knocked on your door, and wanted to test Fedora 9 on your laptop.[/sarasm]
But seriously, there was an Alpha release, a beta release and a preview release. Fedora doesn’t have access to every video card / chipset in every desktop / laptop… and you are the only one who can test your laptop… preferably while there is still time to report the problem and get it fixed.
Want Fedora 10 to work on your laptop? Better try it out. An alpha was released recently. Let the testing begin.

I still use fedora core 6 and its the best I really like it ,I can do anything with it just like with windows.Heck I work for a major computer manufacture and the images we push down each day via imaging are done by a means of……. you guessed it LINUX
