DISCLAIMER: These notes are for development of Amahi with Fedora 14. These notes are not by any means anything for users to follow. Please continue to install Fedora 12 for new Amahi installs. Fedora 14 is not OFFICIALLY supported yet by Amahi.

Known Issues

• Fedora creates small root (/) and large home (/home) partition. See Install without LVM to change.
• Installation instructions are not updated for Fedora 14.

1. Ensure Graphical Desktop is checked.

Broken Apps: NOT publicly available yet in Amahi for Fedora 14

• phpBB: Works, but has [phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /index.php on line 86: date(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/Chicago' for 'CDT/-5.0/DST' instead
• Mantis: Works, but has SYSTEM WARNING: date_default_timezone_get(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/Chicago' for 'CDT/-5.0/DST' instead
• ajaxterm: Installed, but but says 'Service Termporarily Unavailable'
• Horde: Installed, but does not work. Login screen missing Login options.
• CoolSmile: Installed, but does not work.
• SABnzbd: Installed and works, but unrar does not install. RPMFusion public keys not available.
• DLNA: Does not install. It gets stuck at "Preparing to install..."

Install without Logical Volume Management (LVM)

WARNING: I recommend you disable/unplug ALL hard disks you do not want to put the system on to make it easier to partition. Data loss can result if you don't know what disks are which or you make an error.

OK now here is the easy/hard part. I recommend you set up disk partitions without using the default lvm setup. At the partitioning point of the Fedora 14 installer:

1. Select Create Custom Layout and click Next.
2. Next delete lv-root and lv-swap by selecting one at a time and clicking delete.
3. Also delete vg_xxxxxxx the same way by clicking on it and hitting delete (Note xxxxxx is different on every machine).
4. Now delete ALL partitions under hard drives. Now you will see free space the size of the drive.
5. Click on the free space and click Create. On the menu select standard partition. Go to file system type and click Swap (if you have > 2GB of ram and plenty of HDD space, make it at least 1GB Fixed size. Hit OK.
6. Click Create again, and we will make a /boot mount point. Click free space, click Create, Standard Partition under mount point select /boot file system type is Ext4 you should be ok with 500MB here. I would not go under 200 or so. Click OK
7. The last one. Your ROOT partition. I would make it the rest of the disk. Just click free space, and Create one more time. Under mount point select /. Under file system type select EXT4 under leave the size box along and select Fill to Maximum allowable size that will use up the rest of the disk, and give you plenty of room for a landing zone if you plan to use greyhole.
8. Click NEXT and select Write Changes to Disk.
