This tutorial will guide you step-by-step through the process of installing Peppermint, a lightweight Linux distribution, on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
The first step is to make sure all required packages are installed. Run the following command in the terminal to install the required packages:
sudo dnf install wget curl tar xz
You need to download the latest version of Peppermint from the official website. Run the following command to download Peppermint 10:
wget https://peppermint.sh/files/iso/Peppermint-10-20190514-amd64.iso
Peppermint needs to be installed from a bootable USB drive. Run the following command to create a bootable USB drive:
sudo dd bs=4M if=path/to/Peppermint-10-20190514-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdX status=progress oflag=sync
Be sure to replace /dev/sdX with the device name of your USB drive.
Insert the bootable USB drive into the machine and reboot it. Press the boot key to enter the boot menu and select the USB drive as the boot device.
Once Peppermint has booted, select the "Install Peppermint" option from the desktop. Follow the prompts to select the language, time zone, and keyboard layout.
When prompted to choose the installation location, select "Custom – set up disk partitions."
On the next screen, choose the disk to install Peppermint on and click "New Partition Table." This will wipe the disk, so be sure to backup any data beforehand.
Select "Continue" to create a new partition on the disk. Choose the size of the partition and select "Primary" as the partition type.
Next, create a "Home" partition by following the same steps.
Finally, select "Install Now" to begin the installation process.
After the installation is complete, you will be prompted to restart the system. Remove the USB drive and restart the system.
Once the system has restarted, log in to Peppermint using the credentials you created during installation. Peppermint should now be up and running on your Fedora CoreOS Latest machine!
