<SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Just installed Fedora15 on a new hard drive in my laptop. As the first distribution I have tried that will loose wireless connection and reconnect without me having to restart the laptop to get the network working again I really do want to go for F15 over F14 even though CCRMA/RT-Kernel hasn't quite caught up with it yet.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Ran the installation.<o:p></o:p></SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Ran Yum Update<o:p></o:p></SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Added RPMFusion Free and NonFree, plus CCRMA depositories<o:p></o:p></SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Removed Parole<o:p></o:p></SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Installed XMMS plus Gstreamer plugs Bad, Ugly and FFMPEG<o:p></o:p></SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">(Very basics and at this point would boot up very quickly, didn't time it but would say 20-30sec.)<o:p></o:p></SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Slightly worried at this point that I did not have a GRUB Boot menu at loading. Especially as I do plan to have a Windows partition on there as well. Previously have always had Windows installed first... But at that point I didn't know if there was maybe no kernel update thus no need to select which you use at startup.<o:p></o:p></SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">installonly_limit=3 which I didn't change to 0 for unlimited but still I thought should of given me the option between kernels at boot but didn't seem to, automatically loading into most recent. How do I change this and is installing Windows (most likely XP, maybe Win7 if I ge around to upgrading) later going to cause any problems?<o:p></o:p></SPAN><BR>

<SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Anyway thought I'd try the planetccrma-core as should have the choice so ran 'yum install planetccrma-core' then tried restarting.<o:p></o:p></SPAN><BR>

<SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Laptop took ages to boot up, a couple of minutes, at least 3-4 times as long if not longer than before. I tried restarting a couple of times to make sure wasn't only due to running the first time after changes.<o:p></o:p></SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Not only that but it only booted into command line, with me having to log in the run 'startx' to get the graphical environment (but at least it worked.)<o:p></o:p></SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Once there I found my Network widget had disappeared so I had no access to the internet. Trying to find the Network Manager and the system completely froze on me, requiring a hard reset.<o:p></o:p></SPAN><BR>
<SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">At this point I decided to just reinstall F15 vanilla and not use the CCRMA Core for the moment!<o:p></o:p></SPAN><BR>

<SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">As you can tell I'm fairly new to Linux, some Ubuntu use and a little with F14 previously. Comments on the above appreciated. Hints and tips on what I did wrong (if anything) or any more information you would like to have from me regarding it appreciated.<o:p></o:p></SPAN><BR>
