Issue CPU Running Linux Fedora 9 on VirtualBox?

Q. I have a host operating system of windows vista business 64 bit with 4g ram and an intel centrino 2 duo core a T9400. So i tried running Linux Fedora 9 x86_64 through virtual box but it says my cpu is an i686 and is not compatible. But intel centrino 2 should be 64 capable. Why isnt this working?

A. It is quite correct. The virtual CPU you were trying to run Fedora 9 on *is* an i686 and is not compatible. You were not installing Fedora on your physical CPU but on the virtual CPU that virtualbox creates.

Note that the 64-bit build of virtualbox won't help you. It still does the same thing, it just does it better on a 64-bit OS.

How do we set up internet in Linux Fedora?
Q. I have Linux Fedora 8 installed on my PC. I use ADSL Broadband connection, i.e. LAN to connect to the internet. How do we set up broadband ?

Please explain the steps in detail.
These answers don't work . . .
no more answers???

I want the detail !!!

A. Given that you imply you connect via ethernet to a router - just plug in the ethernet cable and let DHCP do it's work.

How can I install an operating system on a separate drive or partition?
Q. I am just a beginner, so please use a simple terminology.
By the way I have a Windows XP Home Edition and a Linux Fedora disk, if that matters.

A. I would suggest installing Fedora first and using Linux Partition manager. First you shard Partition X GB for Fedora and x GB i would also suggest that you create a third partition for fedora that is 256 MB for swap file space. The partition manager in Fedora is pretty self explanatory
