Hello *,

I am "new" to Fedora since I was using long time ago DLD (Deutsche Linux
Distribution from Delix which was bougth by RedHat in 1999) and I need a
little bit help to start.

If this list is not the right one, please let me know.

I am Debian GNU/Linux Consultant in Strasbourg and now have to work with
RedHat and Fedora since my customers proprietary software does not work
on ANY Debian machines.

I need to package some software for my customer and like to know HOW to
package it. Curently I run only Debian Unstable/Stable and I am doubt
if I can create packages under Debian without installing a Xen Machine
for it since learning the whole RedHat/Fedora thing is currently a
little bit to much.

Now I have some questions:

1) Where can I find the "Packaging Tutorial"?
2) Where can I find the "Guidelines for Packaging"?
3) Where can I find infos about the FSH (File System Hierarchy)
since it is a little bit different from Debian?
4) What does I need to build my own private fedors mirror (RPMs and
SRPMs) with GPG signed packages?
5) If I create my own private fedora mirror on my server, is it
possibel under Fedora to have the mirror password protected?

x) What should I know more?

y) Is there a tutorial, "HOW TO INSTALL" a Fedora-Xen-DomU on a
Debian host system. My Development station is a AMD Phenom Quad
9800 with 8 GByte of memory and 74 GByte SCI/SCA drives (one per
guest OS).

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day

There is virt-install, but I'm not sure how well it works from a
non-Fedora distro.

Another question: Is it posible to download the whole

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/drafts/rpm-guide-en/

as tar ball for offline reading? I live in a region where I have
no telephone/ADSL and GSM is quiet expensive for such things...

Try to use wget to it:
wget -r -l1 -p -k -nd http://docs.fedoraproject.org/drafts/rpm-guide-en/

The above command should do it.
