Start the Installation Process. While you could also start the installation process from the Desktop on the Live CD, the focus of this video is based on the Standard installation, booting directly from the installation CD or DVD, and as that statement suggests, both the installation DVD and CD are bootable. What you do to set up your PC to boot from such media varies by hardware but once you have that set up the CD boots to the screen shown here, or something similar Ð things change all the time. By default, it's set to boot the standard installation program in 60 seconds. Alternatively you could set this to install Fedora 11 with a generic basic video driver. You can also use this CD or DVD as a rescue disk. If you want to avoid installation you could just boot from an existing operating system on the local hard drive, or use it as a memory test program. Once the installation program starts, it detects basic hardware such as CPU, hardware controllers and so on, and that may take a minute or two. Once that detection is complete you'll see a standard installation screen similar to what's shown here, and for most of these screens you'll click a few things, or make a simple entry or two, and then click Next. The first step is to select a language. That becomes the default language not only during the Fedora 11 installation but for what actually gets installed on the system. Then you can choose a keyboard for the system. Note there are a lot of different keyboards available, and then it may detect available hard drives and bring you to the Host Name screen shown here. What you type in should be unique. At least relative to other systems on the local network so your systems don't get confused when looking each other up. You click Next and then you get to select a Time Zone. As you can see from all the yellow dots there are a lot of different time zones available. Once you select a Time Zone the screen zeros in for you a bit, and you see this little thing called UTC. Officially the acronym doesn't mean anything but it's essentially the same as Greenwich Mean Time. The advantage of UTC is that it enables Fedora 11 to automatically change your clock for Daylight Savings Time. The only possible flaw with that is if you're in a dual boot with Microsoft Windows. Windows can't handle UTC. So you make your choices, you click Next, and you're taken to the Root Administrative Password screen. The password you enter can be used to log you in as the root administrative user, or if you're using the su command to assume root privileges from a regular account. This is followed by partition options discussed in a different video. Well, those are the first steps associated with Fedora 11 installation.
