Block device encryption protects the data on a block device by encrypting it. To access the device's decrypted contents, a user must provide a passphrase or key as authentication. This provides additional security beyond existing OS security mechanisms in that it protects the device's contents even if it has been physically removed from the system.

This problem is often caused by the installation of another operating system after you have installed Fedora. Some other operating systems assume that you have no other operating system(s) on your computer. They overwrite the Master Boot Record (MBR) that originally contained the GRUB boot loader. If the boot loader is overwritten in this manner, you cannot boot Fedora unless you can get into rescue mode and reconfigure the boot loader.

Another common problem occurs when using a partitioning tool to resize a partition or create a new partition from free space after installation, and it changes the order of your partitions.

While dm-crypt/LUKS supports both keys and passphrases, the anaconda installer only supports the use of passphrases for creating and accessing encrypted block devices during installation.
</div><div class="para">
LUKS does provide passphrase strengthening but it is still a good idea to choose a good (meaning "difficult to guess") passphrase. Note the use of the term "passphrase", as opposed to the term "password". This is intentional. Providing a phrase containing multiple words to increase the security of your data is important.

It is useful to choose a meaningful name for this mapping. LUKS provides a UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) for each device.

</div><div class="para">
In many cases it is desirable to list devices in <code class="filename">/etc/fstab</code> by UUID or by a filesystem label. The main purpose of this is to provide a constant identifier in the event that the device name (eg: <code class="filename">/dev/sda4</code>) changes. LUKS device names in the form of <code class="filename">/dev/mapper/luks-<luks_uuid></code> are based only on the device's LUKS UUID, and are therefore guaranteed to remain constant. This fact makes them suitable for use in <code class="filename">/etc/fstab</code>.

An important and powerful aspect of Fedora is the open, user-configurable method it uses for starting the operating system. Users are free to configure many aspects of the boot process, including specifying the programs launched at boot-time. Similarly, system shutdown gracefully terminates processes in an organized and configurable way, although customization of this process is rarely required.

Many system administrators would prefer to use an automated installation method to install Fedora on their machines. To answer this need, Red Hat created the kickstart installation method. Using kickstart, a system administrator can create a single file containing the answers to all the questions that would normally be asked during a typical installation.
</div><div class="para">
Kickstart files can be kept on a single server system and read by individual computers during the installation. This installation method can support the use of a single kickstart file to install Fedora on multiple machines, making it ideal for network and system administrators.

Mirrors publish Fedora software under a well-organized hierarchy of folders. For example, the Fedora 12 distribution normally appears in the directory <code class="filename">fedora/linux/releases/12/</code>.

This line of thinking was driven by several issues, some philosophical, some technical.

One area that many people new to Linux find confusing is the matter of how partitions are used and accessed by the Linux operating system. In DOS/Windows, it is relatively simple: Each partition gets a "drive letter." You then use the correct drive letter to refer to files and directories on its corresponding partition.
</div><div class="para">
This is entirely different from how Linux deals with partitions and, for that matter, with disk storage in general. The main difference is that each partition is used to form part of the storage necessary to support a single set of files and directories. This is done by associating a partition with a directory through a process known as <em class="firstterm">mounting</em>. Mounting a partition makes its storage available starting at the specified directory (known as a <em class="firstterm">mount point</em>).

For example, if partition <code class="filename">/dev/hda5</code> is mounted on <code class="filename">/usr/</code>, that would mean that all files and directories under <code class="filename">/usr/</code> physically reside on <code class="filename">/dev/hda5</code>. So the file <code class="filename">/usr/share/doc/FAQ/txt/Linux-FAQ</code> would be stored on <code class="filename">/dev/hda5</code>, while the file <code class="filename">/etc/gdm/custom.conf</code> would not.

Continuing our example, it is also possible that one or more directories below <code class="filename">/usr/</code> would be mount points for other partitions. For instance, a partition (say, <code class="filename">/dev/hda7</code>) could be mounted on <code class="filename">/usr/local/</code>, meaning that <code class="filename">/usr/local/man/whatis</code> would then reside on <code class="filename">/dev/hda7</code> rather than <code class="filename">/dev/hda5</code>.

At this point in the process of preparing to install Fedora, you must give some consideration to the number and size of the partitions to be used by your new operating system. The question of "how many partitions" continues to spark debate within the Linux community and, without any end to the debate in sight, it is safe to say that there are probably as many partition layouts as there are people debating the issue.

A signal 11 error, commonly know as a <em class="firstterm">segmentation fault</em>, means that the program accessed a memory location that was not assigned to it. A signal 11 error may be due to a bug in one of the software programs that is installed, or faulty hardware.
</div><div class="para">
If you receive a fatal signal 11 error during your installation, it is probably due to a hardware error in memory on your system's bus. Like other operating systems, Fedora places its own demands on your system's hardware. Some of this hardware may not be able to meet those demands, even if they work properly under another OS.

Some upgraded packages may require the installation of other packages for proper operation. If you choose to customize your packages to upgrade, you may be required to resolve dependency problems. Otherwise, the upgrade procedure takes care of these dependencies, but it may need to install additional packages which are not on your system.

Depending on how you have partitioned your system, the upgrade program may prompt you to add an additional swap file. If the upgrade program does not detect a swap file that equals twice your RAM, it asks you if you would like to add a new swap file. If your system does not have a lot of RAM (less than 256 MB), it is recommended that you add this swap file.

Fedora includes support for more than one keyboard layout for many languages. In particular, most European languages include a <code class="literal">latin1</code> option, which uses <em class="firstterm">dead keys</em> to access certain characters, such as those with diacritical marks. When you press a dead key, nothing will appear on your screen until you press another key to "complete" the character. For example, to type <code class="literal">é</code> on a latin1 keyboard layout, you would press (and release) the <span class="keycap"><strong>'</strong></span> key, and then press the <code class="literal">E</code> key. By contrast, you access this character on some other keyboards by pressing and holding down a key (such as <span class="keycap"><strong>Alt-Gr</strong></span>) while you press the <code class="literal">E</code> key. Other keyboards might have a dedicated key for this character.

There are some video cards that have trouble booting into the graphical installation program. If the installation program does not run using its default settings, it tries to run in a lower resolution mode. If that still fails, the installation program attempts to run in text mode.
</div><div class="para">
One possible solution is to use only a basic video driver during installation. You can do this either by selecting <span class="guilabel"><strong>Install system with basic video driver</strong></span> on the boot menu, or using the <code class="command">xdriver=vesa</code> boot option at the boot prompt. Alternatively, you can force the installer to use a specific screen resolution with the <code class="command">resolution=</code> boot option. This option may be most helpful for laptop users. Another solution to try is the <code class="command">driver=</code> option to specify the driver that should be loaded for your video card. If this works, you should report it as a bug, because the installer failed to detect your video card automatically. Refer to <a class="xref" href="ap-admin-options.html" title="Chapter 8. Boot Options">Chapter 8, <i>Boot Options</i></a> for more information on boot options.

In most cases, the simplest way to upgrade an existing Fedora installation is with the <span class="application"><strong>preupgrade</strong></span> tool. When a new version of Fedora is available, <span class="application"><strong>preupgrade</strong></span> downloads the packages necessary to upgrade your installation, and initiates the upgrade process.

Install <span class="application"><strong>preupgrade</strong></span> with your graphical package manager, or type <code class="command">yum install preupgrade</code> at the command line and press <span class="keycap"><strong>Enter</strong></span>.

If the DVD/CD-ROM drive is found and the driver loaded, the installer will present you with the option to perform a media check on the DVD/CD-ROM. This will take some time, and you may opt to skip over this step. However, if you later encounter problems with the installer, you should reboot and perform the media check before calling for support. From the media check dialog, continue to the next stage of the installation process (refer to <a class="xref" href="sn-welcome-x86.html" title="6.10. Welcome to Fedora">Section 6.10, “Welcome to Fedoraâ€</a>).

The idea behind SysV init runlevels revolves around the idea that different systems can be used in different ways. For example, a server runs more efficiently without the drag on system resources created by the X Window System. Or there may be times when a system administrator may need to operate the system at a lower runlevel to perform diagnostic tasks, like fixing disk corruption in runlevel 1.
</div><div class="para">
The characteristics of a given runlevel determine which services are halted and started by <code class="command">init</code>. For instance, runlevel 1 (single user mode) halts any network services, while runlevel 3 starts these services. By assigning specific services to be halted or started on a given runlevel, <code class="command">init</code> can quickly change the mode of the machine without the user manually stopping and starting services.

If you install GRUB as a secondary boot loader, you must reconfigure your primary boot loader whenever you install and boot from a new kernel.

The use of the term <span class="emphasis"><em>root file system</em></span> has a different meaning in regard to GRUB. It is important to remember that GRUB's root file system has nothing to do with the Linux root file system.

The GRUB root file system is the top level of the specified device.

Network installations using kickstart are quite common, because system administrators can easily automate the installation on many networked computers quickly and painlessly. In general, the approach most commonly used is for the administrator to have both a BOOTP/DHCP server and an NFS server on the local network. The BOOTP/DHCP server is used to give the client system its networking information, while the actual files used during the installation are served by the NFS server. Often, these two servers run on the same physical machine, but they are not required to.
</div><div class="para">
To perform a network-based kickstart installation, you must have a BOOTP/DHCP server on your network, and it must include configuration information for the machine on which you are attempting to install Fedora. The BOOTP/DHCP server provides the client with its networking information as well as the location of the kickstart file.

Rescue mode provides the ability to boot a small Fedora environment entirely from boot media or some other boot method instead of the system's hard drive. There may be times when you are unable to get Fedora running completely enough to access files on your system's hard drive. Using rescue mode, you can access the files stored on your system's hard drive, even if you cannot actually run Fedora from that hard drive. If you need to use rescue mode, try the following method:

Hardware compatibility is particularly important if you have an older system or a system that you built yourself. Fedora 12 should be compatible with most hardware in systems that were factory built within the last two years. However, hardware specifications change almost daily, so it is difficult to guarantee that your hardware is 100% compatible.
