= Fedora Installation and customization =

== Preupgrade ==

As root, update the system, install pre-upgrade and run preupgrade

<pre><nowiki>

# yum update

# yum install preupgrade

# preupgrade

</nowiki></pre>

If the message '''Oh no something has gone wrong''', is coming up after upgrade to Fedora 16, them remove `.gnome*` and `.gconf*` folders from home and root directories, then reboot the system.

== Desktop Workspaces ==

On Fedora 15 the default manager is Gnome 3, which doesn't handle the workspaces as expected on multiple screen. Than means only the main monitor changes the workspace but the additional monitor keeps with the same desktop.

In order to fix this, install gconf-editor and run it, then navigate to ''desktop > gnome > shell > windows'' and uncheck the ''workspaces_only_on_primary'' box.

To finish the setup do a logout and login back to see the changes.

== Applications icons ==

The applications icons under ''Activities'' can be resized on `/usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css`.

Look at the section `/* Apps */` and change the values for:

<pre><nowiki>

.icon-grid { ... }

.contact-grid { ... }

.icon-grid .overview-icon { ... }

</nowiki></pre>

When finish, press ''Alt+F2'' and type `r` in order to reload Gnome desktop and see the changes.
