where can I find old fedora disks like V8
hey gang: I hate to say it but fedora 9 has beat me. At least so far, its simply impossible to get X configured and for my workstation this is a requirement. I orignally wanted to give fedora a try because the core is just like centos/RHEL whis is my server of choice. I figured it would be easier to manage my workstation if i didnt have to learn new service management commands and just go with chkconfig, etc. so the next option I felt would be an idea would be Fedora 8, at least that might work in that when it autodetected my hardware it wouldnt recognize it and go to VESA by fallback, and at least that would work. Problem, NONE of the mirrors Ive checked so far have a Fedora 8 install cd *.iso that I can download and burn, I keep finding dvd *.isos but my burner isnt a dvd burner. what happened to all the Fedora 8 stuff? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

I don't think they ever existed. Fedora 7 and 8 came with no official install CD ISO images, only DVD install ISO. You had to use a LiveCD image if you wanted to install via CD. Fedora 9 did have CD install images (fortunately). -Mauriat -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

Rance: Here is one source for Fedora 8 live CD's: http://archive.linux.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Live/i686/ You get your choice of KDE or Gnome. Other architectures (x86-64, ppc) are also available. Expect a lot of upgrading, followed by downloading all of the stuff that they couldn't fit on a CD. FWIW, I used the KDE CD to install this installation of F8, and it has turned out to be stronger than houses for me. There are other ways of skinning the cat, but I've never tried them. -- cmg -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

Filing bugs to help get it fixed would be nice even if you can't use Fedora 9 at this time.

You can get live cd's at: http://redhat.download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Live/i686/ I don't remember if you can install off the F8 Live CDs (this might be new to F9), but you should be at least able to test if your display works with F8. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list

It wasn't released with CD ISO files, but the *separate* respin project did make some. http://www.warp2search.net/contentteller/news_story/fedora_8_20080204_re_spin.html http://spins.fedoraunity.org/spins Though, I gather it's not a set of CD ISOs that you download, but scripting to create your own from the other downloads. Another option, which might be easier, is to download and burn the smaller rescue disc ISO, download and save the DVD ISO file, boot from the rescue disk and tell it to use the saved DVD ISO file to install from. Make sure that your install doesn't format the drive/partition holding the DVD ISO file. I've done that the last few installs. I pre-partitioned a drive before installing, and put the DVD ISO in one of those partitions, and ignored repartitioning when installing the OS (I just selected the partitions to use, and didn't reformat them). Post installation, I rewrote the fstab file and made the spare partition holding the DVD ISO into my /tmp directory. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 FC6, all using Gnome in case that's important to the thread.)
