This installation will describe how to setup a stand-alone Linux environment.
Dual boot is possible but will not be covered in this document.
- The system that I am using to prepare this document has the following
- features:
+ 1. Download the latest Fedora 30 DVD ISO from https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/
+ 1. Verify the download by verifying the checksum of the downloaded image. https://getfedora.org/en/security/
+ 1. Write the DVD iso to a flash drive.
+ ```bash
+ $ dd if=/path/to/image.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M # use lsblk to identify the usb flash storage device
+ ```
+ 1. After the iso is written to the flash drive you will need to reboot the
+ machine with the flash drive inserted. You might need to tweak the boot
+ settings to boot from the flash drive before the hard disk. Accessing the
+ BIOS configuration is dependent on the device. On my machine pressing F2
+ during startup will take me to the boot configuration menu.
+ 1. Once the system boots from the USB flash drive follow the on screen
+ instructions for installing Fedora 30.
+ 1. After installation is complete, remove the USB flash storage device and
+ restart the computer.
+ 1. Use the credentials created during the setup process to login.
+ 1. Open a terminal and type:
+ ```bash
+ $ sudo yum update
+ $ sudo yum upgrade
+ ```
+
+ Your system is now ready and up to date.
