I love this Fedora Core bare installation, Dec 14, 2006 9:12 PM
Reviewer: senthilnayagam
I love this Fedora Core 6 bare installation. it boots up fast. but be warned it does not have any editor, archive tools and also does not have Amazon AMI packaging tools run the following commands, to get those. yum install wget nano tar bzip2 unzip zip fileutils wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/ec2-downloads/ec2-ami-tools.noarch.rpm rpm -i ec2-ami-tools.noarch.rpm the good thing on using Fedora core 4 is I was able to install latest stable versions of applications via yum itself, it used to be a big task to take care of dependency on fedora core 4 and most of those had to be installed from source. regards Senthil Nayagam http://senthilnayagam.com

Nice, clean base image!, Jan 8, 2007 8:05 PM
Reviewer: Keith W. McCammon
This is a great base image, as advertised. If you're looking for something that's ready to run, this is not the one. If you're looking for a quick starting point, this should do just fine. As of 8 Jan 2006, it was behind on a few updates. Before you do anything else, you might want to: yum update Then, as the previous poster mentions, you probably want to add some core utilities: yum install wget nano tar bzip2 unzip zip fileutils Next, install the AMI tools (borrowed from previous poster as well, with minor changes--ruby and rsync are required but not present on the image): yum -y install ruby rsync wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/ec2-downloads/ec2-ami-tools.noarch.rpm rpm -i ec2-ami-tools.noarch.rpm You're off to the races. Rejoice.

Minor issue with terminals, May 8, 2007 9:00 AM
Reviewer: Ben Thomas
Firstly, I am no linux guru - talented amateur maybe ;-). When I installed Gnome desktop and tried to run any kind of terminal window, I would get an error about it being unable to start the child process. I found that adding a line to my /etc/fstab: none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 fixed the issue.

Top notch Core 6 base, Jul 11, 2007 6:55 AM
Reviewer: Orion A. Richardson
Excellent! Works like a charm, especially with the other thoughts/comments/tweaks people have commented on. Now I'm just crossing my fingers that someone else will come up with a Core 7 image that is as good.
