There is a Fedora-26 template available for both 3.2 and 4 - you can see them at yum.qubes-os.org. When you say that you are unable to download, do you mean that you are trying using qubes-dom0-update, or are you manually downloading a template? There's nothing stopping you from downloading manually, transferring in to dom0 and then installing. On the support issue, 3.2 will be supported for a full 12 months after the release of a final 4.0, and this will include bug fixes as well as security issues. Of course, support will inevitably tail off toward the end of that time. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
