Installing an HDA via Live CD

  • NOTE: for full install info visit this link
  • Download the live CD
  • Install to hard disk as you please
  • Run the commands below as full root (either directly or through sudo)
  • Switch to the new Fedora 12 keys (long story)
   yum -y update fedora-release
  • Install HDA release

   rpm -Uvh http://f12.amahi.org/noarch/hda-release-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

  • Add 2 depends to prevent conflict with Amahi:
   yum install -y dhcp dhclient
NOTE: The quotes are important.
  • Install all of the HDA RPMs:
   yum install -y hdactl
  • Install some HDA apps (this may not be needed):
   yum install -y "hda-*"
  • After this, you have to proceed to configure the HDA (This will invoke the automated installer):
   hda-new-install
NOTE: The last step installs some Amahi apps, which contains at least one application that is large (60MB), which can take time to load in slower connections. If your line is not very fast, it may appear hung, so be please patient.
  • After install if you cannot access http://hda due to the rails application failing to start run the following commands:
yum -y install fcgi-devel
gem install --no-ri --no-rdoc fcgi
