Partition the hard drive as desired and install the components that you like. However, some packages will make life easier when configuring your new laptop. These are mentioned in the corresponding sections below and may be installed afterwards. Fedora Core 5 installation and later runs without any problems, while Fedora Core 4 should be started with:
# linux nofb
This tells the installation to disable the frame buffer so you may use the graphical mode installation enters graphical mode. This only applies to FC4 and earlier. However, depending on your hardware you might notice a strange disk size during the installation of F8. If you see a disk size less than expected you should pass.

Does not match the “high end gear” profile of this laptop. When the laptop was released 120 MB drives was the latest of the greatest and 100MB drives were off the shelf goods in most stores. However, a smaller drive would have been ok at a higher. I Thus, I have replaced the original Hitachi Travelstar 80 GB (4200rpm) drive with a Seagate Momentus 160 GB (5400rpm, ATA/ATAPI­6, ST9160821A). What a difference! The higher speed, as well as the higher storage density, pays off in far better performance. Operating temperature is the same as for the original drive. According to the smartmontools it runs at 40­48 °C during normal load with peaks above 50 °C during heavy load. A highly recommended upgrade! Depending drive.

With Firewire support. For me it works just as smooth as the USB support. If you are running kernel version 2.6.14 or later you may skip this section, unless you have specific interest in tweaking you Firewire settings. A new alternative driver stack for Firewire support (a.k.a Juju) was introduced as experimental in kernel version 2.6.22. In Fedoras kernel configuration 2.6.23.9­85.fc8 the new IEEE1394 driver stack replaces the old drivers. The rest of this section deals with the old driver stack, i.e before Fedora kernel 2.6.23.9­85.fc8. However, on systems with kernel version 2.6.13 or earlier some might experience problems with the Firewire support due to different default values used in the kernel.
