I have upgraded from Linux Fedora 12 to Fedora 20 by buying a new computer, and the shop has kindly installed Linux for me from the DVD I bought for the purpose. I assume he did the most basic installation he could. It is all strange coming from 12, and I am at a bit of a loss as to what to do next. The first thing I tried to do was use emacs, but it is not recognised as a command. I assume that it, and a lot of other software like gcc and gnuplot (also not recognised) are on the dvd, but access to, and installing, them is not obvious to me. What should I expect to find on this DVD, and how can I install software from it? The following is added as a response to the comment from @goldilocks.
I used yum all the time with Fedra 12, but when I tried it just now, in Fedora 20, this was the result: root@localhost # yum install emacs Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit Errno 14 curl#6 - 'Could not resolve host: linuxdownload.adobe.com' Trying other mirror. Error: failure: repodata/repomd.xml from adobe-linux-i386: Errno 256 No more mirrors to try. Errno 14 curl#6 - 'Could not resolve host: linuxdownload.adobe.com' root@localhost # which all looks very strange. Probably I should use yum differently—my failing memory of version 12. Wow, so you never used yum with Fedora 12?!!? I'm guessing you installed everything by downloading and rpm?
This is going to be like a trip to the future, lol. Rip Van Winkle and all that. Anyway, the live DVD just contains enough stuff to do a basic install.
For the past half dozen years or so, beyond that the norm is to use a networked package manager and online repositories. You can keep the DVD as a rescue disk, but it doesn't contain extra packages or serve any further purpose. Try yum search emacs at the command-line (while you are online). This may take a minute or two while the remote repositories are checked, then you'll get a list of what's available. After a lot of frustration I decide to try a well-established version of Fedora instead of the newly released 20 installed by my computer supplier.
I have now installed version 17, and, so far, all the problems seem to have been solve. I can now use yum with no trouble. I also was apparently missing a lot of the software, like gnuplot and ghostscript. I suspect that the installer of Fedora 20 had not included the software developer's repositories. So, now my question is answered, redundant really, and I have, fingers crossed, upgraded from Fedora 12 to a decent working Fedora again.
Yum list installed will spit out a list of the packages installed (at least those in its database-read most), assuming you're booted into the DVD-image, or chroot'd in it. Similarly, rpm always works: rpm -qa Do yum repolist all to see a list of the repositories available to yum and their current state, i.e. Enabled, disabled,etc. 09:11$ yum repolist all Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, langpacks, list-data, refresh-packagekit repo id repo name status fedora/20/x8664 Fedora 20 - x8664 enabled: 38,597!adobe-linux-x8664 Adobe Systems Incorporated enabled: 2 You should also take a look at and take notice of the release notes for major changes, like the recent change in package managers; starting in F20 users are, which is an off-shoot of yum that was forked in 2012.
