== Installing the Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix ==
=== Using the Installer === The easiest way to install the Remix is Refer to use the [[:fedora:Fedora_ARM_Installer|installer]] program. Needed:* A computer with at least 5 GB of free disk space, running one of these operating systems:** Fedora** Windows Vista or Windows 7** Other Linux* An SD or SDHC card, with a capacity of 2GB or more. (Good-quality class 4 cards usually work well). Do ''not'' use a MicroSD card with an adapter -- it will not be recognized by the Raspberry Pi.* An SD/SDHC card writer, either built in to the computer or connected to a USB port.* An Internet connection. Steps:# Download the installer from the appropriate link:#* Fedora (link to be provided)#* Windows (link to be provided)#* Other Linux (link to be provided)# Run the installer.# Click the refresh (circle-arrow) button to retrieve a list of available images and mirror locations.# Select the image you wish to install ("Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix 14") -- or, if you have already downloaded the image file, browse to that file's location.# Select the device on which you wish to install the image (WARNING: all data Installation]] for instructions on this device will be deleted! - be sure you have selected the correct device).# Click "Install".# Wait until the program states that the installation is complete before removing the card. === Using the dd Command === The image can also be installed using the Unix/Linux dd command. Needed:* A computer with at least 5 GB of free disk space, running some form of Unix or Linux.* An SD or SDHC card, with a capacity of 2GB or more. (Good-quality class 4 cards usually work well). Do ''not'' use a MicroSD card with preparing an adapter -- it will not be recognized by the Raspberry Pi.* An SD/SDHC card writer, either built in to containing the computer or connected to a USB port.* An Internet connection. Steps:# Download the image (link to be provided)# Insert your SD/SDHC card into the card reader, and attach to the computer if necessary.# Identify the device node of the SD card (this will be something like <code>/dev/sdc</code> or <code>/dev/mmcblk0</code>).#* Do not use a partition device node (for example: use <code>/dev/sdc</code> or <code>/dev/mmcblk0</code>, not <code>/dev/sdc1</code> or <code>/dev/mmcblk0p1</code>).#* An easy way to identify the card is to list the device nodes (<code>ls -l /dev/sd* /dev/mmcblk*</code>) before and after inserting the SD card. Device nodes that that appear when the card is inserted correspond to the card.# Ensure that the device is unmounted.# Copy the image file to the card: <code>dd if=/dev/''NameOfImageFile'' of=/dev/''DeviceNode''</code># Ensure that the image is fully written onto the card: <code>sync</code># Remove the cardRemix software.
