let me give you a little fast help.
Code:
su -
enter root password
this first block is copy and paste
Code:
cd /usr/local/src
mkdir rpms
cd rpms
wget http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-6.rpm
rpm -ihv livna-release-6.rpm
rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/*
wget http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY
rpm --import RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY
cd -- (or cd ~)
whoami
select the username
choose between this two options:
Code:
ask password every time you perform sudo command-here:
echo "PASTE_USERNAME ALL=(ALL) ALL" >> /etc/sudoers
OR
dont ask for a password ever when you perform sudo command-here:
echo "PASTE_USERNAME ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" >> /etc/sudoers
then type:
Code:
exit
sudo yum update
(if you choosed to be asked for a password, then now enterit as it will be asked for)
when the uptade is finished (will take most probably quite some time there are about 300 mb if you installed FC6 from the latest respin dvd. if you installed from the original initial release dvd, there will be about 900 MB of updates.
mp3
Code:
sudo yum install -y audacious audacious-plugins-nonfree*
java
go to java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
select the Java Runtime Enviroment 6 (JRE) Self extracting file should be a .bin
when downloaded
Code:
sh jre-6-linux-i586.bin
answer yes
sudo mv -f jre1.6* /opt/jre1.6
sudo ln -s /opt/jre1.6/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
NTFS
Code:
sudo yum install -y fuse fuse-libs ntfs-3g ntfsprogs ntfsprogs-gnomevfs
cd /media
sudo mkdir /windows
now check your patritions
Code:
sudo /sbin/fdisk -l
this should show you the whole list of partitions on your computer
something like this, taken from my pc:
Quote:
[jlchafardet@phoenix ~]$ sudo /sbin/fdisk -l
Password:
Disk /dev/sda: 400.0 GB, 400088457216 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 48641 cylinders

Partition 1 has different physical/logical endings:
phys=(1014, 63, 63) logical=(1015, 55, 55)
[jlchafardet@phoenix ~]$

sdb is my flashdrive sda is my Hard drive.
based on where you see the HPFS/NTFS partition (or partitions), in my example is
/dev/sda1 * 1 9478 76132003+ 7 HPFS/NTFS so is /dev/sda1
Code:
for read-only:
sudo mount /dev/PARTITION_NTFS /media/windows -t ntfs-3g -ro umask=0222
for writable (not recommended):
sudo mount /dev/PARTITION_NTFS /media/windows -t ntfs-3g -rw umask=0000
sudo gedit /etc/fstab
add the following line to the end of the file:
for read-only:
/dev/PARTITION_NFS /media/windows ntfs-3g ro,defaults,umask=0222 0 0
for writable (not recommended):
/dev/PARTITION_NFS /media/windows ntfs-3g rw,defaults,umask=0000 0 0
now you have NTFS mounting (access) on boot. it doesnt matter if it is an external or an internal drive, it will be shown on the fdisk -l command.
now, back to my first quote.

Its absolutly true that is not our, nor fedora nor linux fault that your things doesnt go the way you want them. thats what happens when we want to do something without knowing a single thing about it. ERRORS AND MISTAKES. thats how we learn in life, so if you are ready to start an amazing adventure, learning proccess, and taking your IT knowledge to a level that the usual IT user DOESNT EVEN DREAM TO HAVE, welcome to the linux world, if you dont have what it takes for it, well its a shame, we will be here anyway, enjoying our linuxes fully working with all the speqs we want
dont blame on us, nor linux, nor the distro your problems, blame yourself, embrace that blame, stand up, and keep walking because thats the way to go, up and ahead.
Cheers,
