Needed by the second class:
# '''Fedora 13 Live CD''' (x86_64). You can burn this from ISO image on a CD or a DVD using the Freedom Toaster (in the Open Lab) -- however, this machine has problems with come types of DVDs. The image is also available from:
#* http://belmont.senecac.on.ca/fedora/releases/1213/Live/x86_64/Fedora-1213-x86_64-Live.iso - Seneca's mirror of the Fedora project. This is very fast, but is only accessible from within Seneca's network (you can't access this from home). You can burn this disc on the machines in the Open Lab.
#* http://get.fedoraproject.org - Accessible from any Internet connection.
# '''SATA Hard disk in removable drive tray''' (at least 160GB). Please buy the tray from ACS or the bookstore as not all trays are compatible.
# '''Fedora 13 installation DVD''' (x86_64) You can burn this from ISO image on the Freedom Toaster (in the Open Lab) -- however, this machine has problems with come types of DVDs. The image is also available from:
#* http://belmont.senecac.on.ca/fedora/releases/1213/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-1213-x86_64-DVD.iso - Seneca's mirror of the Fedora project. This is very fast, but is only accessible from within Seneca's network (you can't access this from home). You can burn this disc on the machines in the Open Lab.

* Always shut down your system under software control, rather than using the reset or power buttons. You can shutdown using the GUI or with the <code>poweroff</code>, <code>reboot</code>, <code>init</code>, or <code>shutdown</code> commands. '''Shut down your virtual machines before shutting down your main system.'''
* If you get a message about the gnome-power-manager configuration at the login screen, you may have run out of disk space. Take a look at the available space (with <code>df -h</code>). If the <code>/</code> filesystem is full, delete some files (such as unused VM images in <code>/var/lib/libvirt/images</code>) and then reboot the system.
* Fedora 12 13 Slowdowns: If your system is becoming very slow from time to time, it is probably due to a known issue with the Intel video driver, kernel, NICs, storage system, and hardware detection software (!). See [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=523646 Bug 523646] on the Fedora Bugzilla system. A fix for this problem is apparently in the works -- update your system regularly so that you get the fix as soon as it is available.
** '''Workaround:''' Type this command as root (be patient, it will take a minute or two for the system to return to normal speed): <code>killall hald devkit-disks-daemon</code>
