Linux MAC

Αυτό το σεμινάριο θα σας πάρει κάθε ενιαίος βήμα του τρόπου μέσω της εγκατάστασης PCLinuxOS 2007 χρησιμοποιώντας την τήξη VMWare για OS Χ. Με άλλα λόγια, ακόμη και οι γονείς σας πρέπει να είναι σε θέση να ακολουθήσουν εμπρός.

  2. Υπόβαθρο
  3. Τήξη VMWare καθιέρωσης για PCLinuxOS 2007
  4. Εγκατάσταση PCLinuxOS 2007
  5. Να τελειώσει επάνω (εγκαθιστώντας τα εργαλεία VMWare, που αυξάνουν τη μνήμη κ.λπ.)

1. Το cWho αυτό το σεμινάριο είναι για

Αυτό το σεμινάριο είναι για καθένα με τη βασισμένη στη Intel MAC που είναι περίεργη για Linux - συγκεκριμένα PCLinuxOS 2007, και έχει για μια ώρα που σκοτώνει (εξαιρέσει του χρόνου παίρνει για να μεταφορτώσει PCLinuxOS).

Τα βήματα και screenshots χρησιμοποιημένος για αυτό το σεμινάριο είναι συγκεκριμένα για Τήξη VMWare έκδοση 1.0b3 (43733) που τρέχει σε ένα MacBook υπέρ με το OS Χ (10.4.9). Με αυτόν εν λόγω, θα είναι σχεδόν ίδιοι εάν έχετε τη MAC υπέρ, τη MAC μίνι, MacBook ή την οποιαδήποτε άλληδήποτε βασισμένη στη Intel MAC μήλων.

2. Υπόβαθρο

PCLinuxOS 2007, είναι ένας ελεύθερος, εύχρηστος Linux-βασισμένος λειτουργικό σύστημα για το σπίτι. Καθένας εξοικειωμένος με το περιβάλλον MS-$l*Windows θα είναι σε θέση να χρησιμοποιήσει PCLinuxOS το 2007 χωρίς το πρόβλημα.

Η τήξη VMWare είναι ένα virtualizer, ή καθώς το βάζουν, «ο καλύτερος τρόπος να τρεχτούν τα παράθυρα στην Intel-βασισμένη στο MAC σας». Είναι αυτήν την περίοδο βήτα, και ελεύθερος, αλλά αυτός σχεδόν βεβαίως θα αλλάξει σε κάποιο βαθμό στο μέλλον. Το σημάδι επάνω για το βήτα και μεταφορτώνει την τήξη VMWare εδώ.

3. Τήξη VMWare καθιέρωσης για PCLinuxOS 2007

  1. Η τήξη VMWare έναρξης και επίλεκτος χτυπά Νέος… κουμπί.

  2. χτυπήστε για να διευρύνετε

  3. Αναθεωρήστε την οθόνη εισαγωγής και χτυπήστε Συνεχιστείτε.

  4. χτυπήστε για να διευρύνετε

  5. Επιλέξτε Linux σαν Λειτουργικό σύστημα: και Άλλος πυρήνας Linux 2.6.x σαν Έκδοση:.

  6. χτυπήστε για να διευρύνετε

  7. Εκτός από όπως: η περιοχή, εισάγει ένα όνομα. Δεν πειράζει τι του καλείτε, αλλά κάτι περιγραφικό είναι μια καλή ιδέα. Εάν επιθυμείτε, μπορείτε να αλλάξετε την προεπιλογή εκτός από τη θέση (Όπου:), αλλά δεν είναι απαραίτητο.

  8. χτυπήστε για να διευρύνετε

  9. Επιλέξτε ένα μέγεθος για το σας Μέγεθος δίσκων:. Δεν είμαι βέβαιος τι το ελάχιστο μέγεθος μπορείτε να διευκρινίσετε και να έχετε ακόμα μια εργασία OS είναι, αλλά αυτό πρέπει να είναι μεγαλύτερος από 2GB. Μόλις λάβετε μια απόφαση, χτυπήστε Συνεχιστείτε.

  10. χτυπήστε για να διευρύνετε

  11. Σιγουρευτείτε αυτού Η εικονική μηχανή έναρξης και εγκαθιστά το λειτουργικό σύστημα τώρα παραμένει επιλεγμένος. Εάν εγκαθιστάτε/αρχίζετε PCLinuxOS από το CD, αφήστε την προεπιλογή Use operating system installation disc checked. If you’re using an .iso file (as I do in this example), select Use operating system installation disc image file: and then choose Other… from the drop-down menu.

  12. click to enlarge

  13. Navigate to your PCLinuxOS iso file, select it, and then click the Select button.

  14. click to enlarge

  15. Click Finish.

  16. click to enlarge

4. Installing PCLinuxOS 2007

  1. As PCLinuxOS boots for the first time, VMWare will let you know that debugging mode is enabled, and how to disable it - which you can do later. Click OK for now.

  2. click to enlarge

  3. A very pretty boot screen will appear..

  4. click to enlarge

  5. and then you’ll be presented with a list of options. Click inside the VMWare window so that your cursor and keyboard ‘take’ focus from OS X to VMWare, select LiveCD (which is the default) and hit enter on your keyboard.

  6. click to enlarge

  7. Watch as PCLinuxOS starts..

  8. click to enlarge

  9. and then select your keyboard type. Click Next to continue.

  10. click to enlarge

  11. Choose your location from the list, and click Next.

  12. click to enlarge

  13. Select the appropriate Date, Click & Time Zone settings (default is fine) and once again, click Next.

  14. click to enlarge

  15. Make sure Ethernet is selected - even if your Mac is connected via Airport (or dialup, but really.. dialup?). Click Next.

  16. click to enlarge

  17. Click - you guessed it - Next.

  18. click to enlarge

  19. Leave Automatic IP selected, and click Next.

  20. click to enlarge

  21. Are you sensing a pattern yet? Leave the defaults selected, and click Next.

  22. click to enlarge

  23. If more than one person is going to use your PCLinuxOS installation, you may want to allow them to change the connection settings. If you do, place a check in Allow users to manage the connection. Regardless, you do want to leave Start the connection at boot
  24. checked. Click Next to continue.


    click to enlarge

  25. Yes, you do want to start the connection now. Click Next - but for the last time!

  26. click to enlarge

  27. This time, click Finish.

  28. click to enlarge

  29. Normally you don’t want to do this, but this ONE time, login as root. The default password for the root user is also root.

  30. click to enlarge

  31. Again watch as PCLinuxOS starts up.

  32. click to enlarge

  33. And here you are - the PCLinuxOS desktop. If you’d like, take some time to explore. Keep in mind that you’ve just booted from a LiveCD, so if you decide to keep the OS, don’t bother to start bookmarking sites in Firefox or doing too much - it will all be erased once you install PCLinuxOS to your virtual hard drive. If you like what you see, and you want to install it, double-click the Install PCLinuxOS icon on your desktop.

  34. click to enlarge

  35. The Wizard will launch to guide you through the installation. Click Next.

  36. click to enlarge

  37. Leave Normal Hard drive checked, and click Next.

  38. click to enlarge

  39. Leave Use free space checked, and again, click Next. Remember - this is being installed to a virtual hard drive - so you’re not deleting anything in OS X. This is perfectly safe.

  40. click to enlarge

  41. That safe comment I just mentioned - it was to prepare you for this screen. Do not worry - you’re not going to format your actual Mac’s hard drive - just the virtual one that VMWare created. Click Next.

  42. click to enlarge

  43. Again, Next.

  44. click to enlarge

  45. Go get yourself a cup of coffee or tea. This takes somewhere between 15 and 30 minutes to install, depending on how fast your Mac is. If you’re installing from a CD rather than an .iso file, it might take longer.

  46. click to enlarge

  47. After PCLinuxOS installs most of its software, you’ll see the “creating mount points and preparing bootloader” message, if you haven’t fallen asleep.

  48. click to enlarge

  49. Unless you really know what you’re doing, leave the defaults and click Next.

  50. click to enlarge

  51. That’s it - click Finish!

  52. click to enlarge

  53. OK that’s not really it. There are a few more steps to go, but not too many. Set a root password by entering it in the spaces provided.

  54. click to enlarge

  55. Enter the required info in each of the spaces. You can change the default icon by clicking it (each click will move forward to the next icon). There are a lot to choose from. Of course this is something you can change later, so don’t worry about it too much.

  56. click to enlarge

  57. If you want to add another user to PCLinuxOX, you can do so now. Again, this is something you can do later, but it never hurts to get it out of the way with. If you don’t want/need to add other users, click Done.

  58. click to enlarge

  59. Now that you’ve finished, it’s time to shut down. Select the PC button (bottom left corner of the screen) and choose Log Out…

  60. click to enlarge

  61. Click the Turn Off Computer button - not Restart Computer.

  62. click to enlarge

  63. PCLinuxOS will now power off.

  64. click to enlarge

  65. You’ll probably be presented with a “you don’t have VMWare Tools installed” message. Don’t worry, in the section below I’ll guide you through installing it, so for now, just click OK.

  66. click to enlarge

5. Finishing up (installing VMWare Tools, increasing memory etc.)

  1. First things first, lets change some of the settings. To do so, click the Settings button from the top VMWare Fusion toolbar.

  2. click to enlarge

  3. Select the Memory entry from the menu on the left side. Though the recommended value is 256MB, I’ve found that PCLinuxOS runs quite a bit faster if you boost it up to 512MB. With that said, if you have 1GB or less memory on your Mac, you’ll probably want to leave it at 256MB. If you do make a change, click the Apply button to make sure it takes effect.

  4. click to enlarge

  5. Now select the CD-ROM entry from the left menu. If you used an .iso file to boot/install PCLinuxOS, change it back to Automatically detect physical CD-ROM and then click Apply. Close the settings window when you’re done.

  6. click to enlarge

  7. To start PCLinuxOS, either click the huge ‘play’ button, or the Start Up button in the top toolbar.

  8. click to enlarge

  9. Choose Linux, which should be the default, and hit enter on your keyboard. Or just wait 10 seconds and it’ll start on its own.

  10. click to enlarge

  11. Login to PCLinuxOS using the user name you created during the setup. Again, only under the rarest of rare circumstances do you want to login as root. If you sign in as root, the chances of you accidentally destroying PCLinuxOS go up by a factor of 100.

  12. click to enlarge

  13. Here you are - the fully installed PCLinuxOS 2007 desktop. If you don’t want to install VMWare Tools, you’re done, and this tutorial has served its purpose. Have fun! If you do want to install VMWare Tools, which will allow you to easily change the mouse and keyboard focus between PCLinuxOS and OS X (as well as copy text, files and folders between them), keep reading.

  14. click to enlarge

  15. Use the apple-key + ctrl (control) combo to ‘escape’ from PCLinuxOS, and select Virtual Machine from the apple menu, then Install VMWare Tools from the drop-down list.
  16. Review the pop-up window and then click Install.

  17. click to enlarge

  18. Click back inside the PCLinuxOS window to regain keyboard and mouse focus, and select Open in a New Window and then click the OK button.

  19. click to enlarge

  20. You should be presented with a window that contains two files. Close that window.

  21. click to enlarge

  22. Open a terminal window by selecting the PC button -> System -> Terminals and then Konsole.

  23. click to enlarge

  24. Enter the following commands one at a time. Anything below in italics is not text that you should copy/paste and enter, rather a hint/explanation.

    su
    (enter your root password)
    cd /media/VMware\ Tools/
    rpm -i VMwareTools-e.x.p-43733.i386.rpm (unless the .rpm file has been upgraded since this tutorial was created - in which case enter the name of your rpm file)
    (wait a minute or two - you’ll know it’s done when the prompt returns)
    vmware-config-tools.pl
    (watch as text flys by the screen)
    yes
    (hit enter to accept the default location)
    yes
    (enter the number you want as your default screen resolution)
    exit
    exit


  25. click to enlarge

  26. If all went well, you can know move your mouse from PCLinuxOS to OS X and back without having to use the keyboard combo. In addition, you can drag and drop files from linux to OS X and vice-versa. You’re officially done. Congrats.

    Just to let you know Vmware Fusion is no longer free. There is a free 30 day demo but it now costs US$79.99 if you want to keep it.
