Hello all, I have just installed Fedora 11 KDE replacing my existing Linux Mint Gloria. I used Linux Mint Gloria in a laptop where windows was the second option to boot. I installed Fedora with the option ¨Ŕeplace current Linux Distro¨. But now I can use Fedora but I can use windows. If I try to log onto windows XP, the system just went into a black screen. I used a licensed windows XP so I can not afford to loose that. As it came with my laptop, I can not think what to do as I do not have the installation CD.
Guide me.

As u already had Windows and Mint, u should not use this option, instead, u should use "Use free space or Custom Layout option". Because, when u used that option, it didn't care about ur Windows. However, try recovering ur Windows or try fix boot/fix mbr option using Windows CD, this all I can help about Windows. After allowing those options, u have to install Grub Loader again.

try installing linux again. this time select custom partition and select your existing linux partition with format option.this is the easiest.
otherwase,if you have experience in rescuing from linux rescue mode do it.
**further information needed.to solve the problem.**
or simply boot from any xp cd and enter winxp repare mode.it will prompt after all files loading complete.run fixboot. it will fix windows bootloader and then install grub again or install linux again.
use fixmbr with care and of course as your last option. sometimes,it may destroy partition table. though,i never experienced one :)

I am having this following problem in Fedora just after switching:
**I can use the Bash. like how can I issue the commands which were like this in ubuntu: ¨sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade¨
**How can I install any .rpm package via Bash? The command were ¨sudo dpkg -i *.deb¨ in ubuntu.
**I have downloaded opera 10 beta 3 rpm package. But double clicking on it the package manager does not respond.
**how to issue command like ¨sudo aptitude install something¨ in Fedora?
Hope you will help me.
To install software, yum install package_name
To update, yum update package_name

There is nothing as "sudo" in Fedora its largely Ubuntu's feature (well sort of).. In fedora you have to switch to root using su- just logout after you are done with root activity by ctrl+d in terminal.
Sorry. I was a bit busy. Forgot to mention this. So use su - instead of sudo. However, if u want to use sudo, its also possible.
1. Become the root user using the su command. Enter the password for the root account when prompted. su -
2. Run this command, using your user account name in the place of "sampleusername": echo 'sampleusername ALL=(ALL) ALL' >> /etc/sudoers
Note that when sudo prompts you for a password, it expects your user password, not root's. If you don't want to be prompted a password, use: echo 'sampleusername ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL' >> /etc/sudoers
Note that above setting would allow anyone with access to your account to simply run any command including those requiring root access without any password and represents a substantial security risk. So I recommend you to use the 2nd command.

I guess you mean you don't recommend to use 2nd option? right?
No I recommend. 2nd command means: echo 'sampleusername ALL=(ALL) ALL' >> /etc/sudoers

**** all your questions are answered here www.fedorafaq.org http://www.fedorafaq.org/basics/ Take Adventure Here www.linuxquestions.org/ **** have a look at fedora help . better use yumx(simple efficient,fast gui) download it from fedora repo.the command is #yum install yumx
or use the gnome gui(Software Installer)
