Hey guys
I'm really new to linux so I hope you guys can offer some help.
I'm running fedora core 6 (ZOD)
First off....I don't know how to check the amount of free disc space that is left on my linux partition

The second question I would like to ask is, how does the uninstalling of programs work? I went into the add/remove section and all I see are check marks and unchecked apps. Is uninstalling as simple as unchecking?

The third question is, is there a way for me to use the root command line to remove applications(terminal window)...I think the command is 'yum remove'

The fourth, what is the benefit of installing the cell sdk 2.1? Will it make linux run faster?

Thanks

1) To find remaining disk space for each partition, enter this into a terminal:

Code:

df -H

2) You use yum, as root. This will be explained in #3 because it relates.

3) To become root in a terminal, enter:

Code:

su-

Then type your root password. When you're done using root to install / remove programs, be sure to

Code:

logout

because not knowing what you're doing as root is dangerous.

As for installing programs. First, we'll find the program we want to install:

Code:

yum search [program]

Then, install it:

Code:

yum install [program]

To find all installed software:

Code:

yum list

To find all installed software that matches a given name:

Code:

yum list [program]

To remove a program:

Code:

yum remove [program]

Some of these commands may fill your terminal too quickly, so that you can't scroll up and see the whole thing. Usually, this will only be the search and list commands. If this is so, you can put it into a text file and use gedit:

Code:

yum search [program] >> [filename].txt
gedit [filename].txt &

4) I don't know, sorry

If any of this is unclear, go ahead and ask. However, all of this was found with a simple google search

Thanks for the help man. I will give this a try. Haha I've been scouring google trying to find the answers all day today and yesterday.

You just have to figure out how to use google well. It take experience.

Anyways, I'm running FC7 on my home PC (I'm posting from it), so if you need any more help, just ask.
