Installing programs

Oldmartian
I'm new to Linux and have installed Fedora C5. I am reading L. for Dummies (only thing I've found yet that helps - and it helps very little). I want to install a program but I have to install gyum (graphical yum) first.

Linux is Extremely slow.

Oldmartian
RH Fedora 5. Booting takes about a minute to get the log-in screen but it takes another two full minutes of disk grinding to get the wall paper up and the menus. And most every program (Firefox, Evolution, GIMP, graphics viewers, etc take a terrible long time to load.

FC5 Installed - Now I Need Help With Extra Package

zenarcher
I've been a loyal fan of SUSE for the past year or so, but just built a test box, so I could try some other distros. My FC5 DVD arrived today, so gave it a try. I have to say, I'm really impressed! So far, I like everything about it! No problems of any kind on the install.

changing partition type to fix XP boot crisis

jeffspen
I have a system with XP and linux (ubuntu) installed on the same drive. I installed XP first and left 40Gb for linux On installing linux I must have changed the XP partition to a swap partition by mistake, although this wasn't used as I created a special swap partition in the linux space.
