<p>Gcbartlett: </p> <hr /> <div>I have just finished installing Fedora Core 5 on my Z60m. This page will provide an overview of the steps required to get up and running, plus some optional steps to install programs like Skype and others.<br /> <br /> <br /> == 1 Create set of R&amp;R discs ==<br /> <br /> Burn the Rescue and Recovery partition to a set of disks. This will require six 700 MB disks and will take some 45 mins. The burn process is started from Start&gt;Programs&gt;ThinkVantage&gt;&quot;Create Set of R&amp;R Discs&quot; or something like that. The disks will automatically be checked after burning, to guarantee that they are OK.<br /> <br /> == 2 Download ==<br /> <br /> Download the 5 Fedora Core CD images or the single DVD image from a mirror near you and burn this to an appropriate media.<br /> <br /> <br /> == 3 Install ==<br /> <br /> Insert Fedora Core 5 disc 1 and turn on the machine. Make sure the machine boots from CD before HD. This can be set in the BIOS.<br /> Most users can just press enter to select the default graphical Linux installation.<br /> Select your language and keyboard layout</div>
