Linux resources

Installing Fedora Core 5 into a USB device.

Note: If would be wise to disconnect your internal harddrive while performing this task.

Steps that I went through to install Fecora Core 5 in a USB hard drive.
1) Instert CD 1 into drive bay in type: linux expert. This will force to load usb drivers. Then follow the usual instruction.
2) On reboot, normally it should fail. Reboot again with CD 1 into the drive bay and type

linux rescue

3) Create boot directory in /mnt/source/, like so:

mkdir /mnt/source/boot

4) Assuming usb drive is /dev/sda, the boot partition into /mnt/source/boot, like so:

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/source/boot, assuming /dev/sda1 is where the boot partition is located.

5) Mount root partition to /mnt/source, like so:

mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/source, where /dev/sda2 is the /(root) partition.

6) Do a change root to the mounted partion,

chroot /mnt/source

and change directory to /boot

7) Create a new image with USB preload, use the command below:

mkinitrd --preload=ehci-hcd --preload=usb-storage --preload=scsi_mod --preload=sd_mod ./usbinitrd-`uname -r`.img `uname -r`

8) Copy the file into the boot partition and edit grub.conf accordingly then reboot.

Math Packages

Axiom is a general purpose system for doing mathematics by computer. It is especially useful for mathematical research and for development of mathematical algorithms.

GNU Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing other numerical experiments using a language that is mostly compatible with Matlab. It may also be used as a batch-oriented language

Maxima is a system for the manipulation of symbolic and numerical expressions, including differentiation, integration, Taylor series, Laplace transforms, ordinary differential equations, systems of linear equations, and vectors, matrices, and tensors. Maxima produces high precision results by using exact fractions and arbitrarily long floating point representations, and can plot functions and data in two and three dimensions.

Scilab is a scientific software package for numerical computations providing a powerful open computing environment for engineering and scientific applications. Developed since 1990 by researchers from INRIA and ENPC, it is now maintained and developed by Scilab Consortium since its creation in May 2003. Distributed freely and open source (see the license and the trademark license) via the Internet since 1994, Scilab is currently being used in educational and industrial environments around the world.

R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. It compiles and runs on a wide variety of UNIX platforms, Windows and MacOS. To download R, please choose your preferred CRAN mirror.

Font suited for programming editor

Raize Font - s a clean, crisp, fixed-pitched sans serif screen font that is much easier to read than the fixed pitched fonts that come with Windows. Ideally suited for programming, scripting, html writing, etc., the Raize Font can be used in any IDE or text editor.

Remarks: Tested with PSPad but letter "s" is not good with point size set to 10. But is looks really nice for points size 12.

progy_fonts - Monospaced Bitmap Programming Fonts

Remars: Several choices and nice for programming editors.
