rpm: remove useless blah blah...
2012-12-12 18:56:19 +02:00
<p>This is my cheatsheet for setting up distribution using rpm (mainly Fedora &amp; CentOS). I am more experienced with distributions using dpkg, so I need this a little in the beginning.</p>

rpm: add file pathes & some fixes
2012-12-12 22:40:33 +02:00
<p>By default cheks every 10 days, change configuration variable &quot;maxhostfileage&quot; file to 0 to make it search always when yum is ran in /etc/yum/yum.pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf and check that &quot;enabled&quot; is set to &quot;1&quot;. If it's 0, the plugin is disabled.</p>

<pre><code>yum install @development-tools kernel-devel</code></pre>
<p>Press HOST + D and cd to the mount point and run the Linux Additions installer and after successful installation, reboot. These didn't work for me on Fedora 17, but worked on CentOS. With Fedora I recommend installing VirtualBox-guest from RPM Fusion.</p>
