I have install f19 (and f18) on a 8Gb USB Key via virt-manager (or via some other virtual machine environment, like VirtualBox).

Create a new linux guest without disk, share USB key to it, boot from DVD and install f19 on USB key disk.
Work great for me.

Or put USB into your PC/Notebook, boot from DVD and install on USB key.

Flash plugin RPM installed but not being used by Firefix in fedora

I've followed the instructions to install the flash plugin by downloading the
YUM version and then installing the RPM. I got no errors when doing any of
this. However, flash still does not work in Firefox. If I do 'about:plugins'
it isn't listed.

Any suggestions on what to try next. All I'm getting from Google is variations
of the same instructions I've already done.

How to install compiler package on Fedora 26?

Installed Fedora 26 on recommendation of a Scribus developer. Installed about 30 packages per his advice.

But when I try to compile a program the machine can't find C++. So what is the package I need to install to compile C++ programs?.

Another question. On Slackware (yes I am one of those) I can use kdm to get to a window function ( I preferXFCE). How do I set up a window manager in Fedora and how do I access it?
