Make Fedora 12

[kelvinfix]

Trying to make a lighter version for USB.

1. How can I disable the GUI, boot it on command prompt only, remove the GUI from the OS?

2. Install MYSQL, and store the data permanently or persistently?

3. Configure the system to shutdown automatically when power off button is press, how to do it in command prompt?

4. Remove all the system tool that is not needed? Any?

Thank you.

The system bios should have that option.


4. Remove all the system tool that is not needed? Any?

The best solution is not to install them to begin with.

Will it be better to use Puppy Linux?

Puppy runs everything as root and has a limited supply of available packages. If you boot from a Fedora livecd and choose install to hard drive, and then choose your USB key as the hard drive to install to, you will have all of the key's space available to you. Use a 16 Gb. USB key and you'll have 16Gb. of persistance. If you want to remove the gui, remove X11 with yum and, I believe, it will also remove the programs that depend on it.
You might want to set the default runlevel before doing that.

I would like to use Fedora, but I need a smaller Fedora, which must be stable and fast boot up on netbook using Intel ATOM processor. Fedora boot up is slow.

How can I remove all the GUI at startup?

How I remove all the the application? using Yum?

How can I replicate to another flash drive fast? Just copy and paste the files to another flash drive?

Theodor099 answered that one already. See his post above.

Yes, yum remove xorg* ought to do it, but if you set it to runlevel 3 the GUI won't start up at boot time. This would give you the option of starting it when you choose to do so.

I don't know, maybe with dd?

Our mutual friend Mr. Google knows the answers to these questions.
