Network Manager won't let me do that, and the command-line tools I used back in the older versions of Fedora don't seem to exist any more.

Works fine on F20/KDE. When you edit the connection the tab for IPv4 has a Method drop down box where you select "manual" and enter the address you desire.

GUI
1) gnome-control-center network
2) nm-connection-editor

COMMAND LINE
4) nmcli (you can use the interactive method to configure the network)
5) ip (from the iproute command) but here I think you'll need to disable NM
6) manually edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-XXXX followed by:
a) nmcli dev disconnect
b) nmcli con reload
d) nmcli con up
...so that NetworkManager is aware that a change was made on the config file.

I need to add a Hebrew keyboard in my computer (Fedara 20).

I used the tool system-config-keyboard to select the Hebrew keyboard , but among the possible choices lacks the keyboard that I need..

I thought that this keyboard is not provided by default and must be installed .. but I have not found a chance to do this installation.

I would like to have some information on how to solve my need.

I have a machine with a dual-boot setup with Windows 7 Pro and Fedora 20. I wonder if it is possible these days to run the Win7 installation in a virtual machine using the raw disk and still be able to boot it on the bare metal when necessary.

What is the best VM tool for doing this these days?
