Fedora 15 installation notes

These are some notes for my Fedora 15 setup.  Not very interesting, just a reminder of the steps I need to perform to get a fresh system up and running.

Steps

1. read release notes
2. read bug list
3. install Software Development packages
4. set network proxy (if installing at corp)
5. enable network card - activate on boot
6. edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
7. add xterm to task bar, change default profile to unlimited, 9pt font
8. add System Monitor to taskbar, change prefs to all monitors
9. add my user to sudoers "su -", then edit /etc/sudoers
10. download and install VMware Player "sudo sh VMwarePlayer.bundle"
11. setup ntlmaps (if installing at corp), point firefox to use localhost:5865
12. add free/non-free repos
13. setup Google yum repo, download Chrome
14. setup Google as default home page in Firefox
15. install cinelerra dependencies
16. download cinMonty
17. compile cinMonty (autogen.sh/make --disable-mmx/make install)
18. update VMware Tools
19. remove nouveau (rpm -e xorg-x11-drv-nouveau --nodeps, nouveau.modeset=0 rdblacklist=nouveau in grub, yum install kmod-nvidia)
20. install NVidia driver
21. install rdesktop, setup sessions
22. setup .bashrc with aliases
23. install iptraf, mplayer, libcurl, iotop, ImageMagick, xfce4, xfce4 power, session and window managers
24. run update
25. System -> Sessions and Startup -> Auto save session on logout
26. install system-config-lvm

That will provide for a decent base Fedora system.
