Installation notes for Fedora 14 on my AMD Athlon64 X2 5000+. As usual, you can find more complete Howtos on the Net, so I won't repeat this here.
Download
Via one of the ftp mirrors. Burn to DVD, done.
Basic install
As with my previous installation, I did not do an update but a complete reinstall. I just scraped the FC13 installation, keeping the home-directories and manually installed software.
Installation worked nice, restore of the home-dirs and setup was more or less ok except for one BIG FAT BUG:
kmod-nvidia broken
See rpmfusion Bugzilla 1469, Fedora Bugzilla 623742, 624297, and 627720. The setup script seems to be broken preventing the nvidia kernel module from loading.
This is a mess and should not happen.
Tweaking
Legacy OSS games
I like to play ut2004, which uses OSS (and OSS via ALSA), which does not play nice with pulse-audio (no sound).
Installing alsa-plugins-pulseaudio and setting alsaunmute did not solve that problem again:-(
It was also neccessary to activate the following kernel modules by uncommenting a line in /etc/modprobe.d/dist-oss.conf:
install snd-pcm /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-pcm && /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss && /sbin/modprobe snd-seq-device && /sbin/modprobe snd-seq-oss
