kernel-devel-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686.rpm
gcc-4.5.1-4.fc14.i686.rpm
3. Obtain the make package for Fedora 14:

rpm -ivh kernel-devel-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686.rpm
rpm -ivh gcc-4.5.1.fc14.i686.rpm
rpm -ivh make-3.82-3.fc14.i686
You can specify all these packages in a single rpm command. Installing any of these packages may

2.1.3 Installation file
Depending on the machine platform (x86 or x86_64), you need the .i686 or the .x86_64 installation
file. Make sure that the file is assigned the necessary access permissions to execute it; for example,
by running the following command:
chmod 755 AcronisBackup*
2.2 Installation in the interactive mode
1. Run the appropriate installation file (an .i686 or an .x86_64 file) as the root user.
2. Accept the terms of the license agreement.
3. Do either of the following:
To install the product in the trial mode (p. 4), select Install in trial mode.
To install the product for cloud backup only, select Install for cloud backup only.
To install the product in the full mode, select Enter the license key, and then type your
Acronis Backup license key.
4. Select the components that you want to install.
5. If you install the software in Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS, the setup program may notify
you about the absence of some of the required Linux packages. Select Continue to try to install
these packages automatically (recommended), or select Skip to skip the package installation. For
more detailed information about the required packages, see the "Linux packages" (p. 8) section.
6. The setup program tries to automatically compile the SnapAPI module for your Linux kernel. If it
fails to do so, please refer to the file: /usr/lib/Acronis/BackupAndRecovery/HOWTO.INSTALL.

file with the -a command-line parameter. You may need to use other parameters (p. 11) to specify
how to perform the installation.
The following example assumes that the name of the installation file is AcronisBackupL.i686.
