Fedora download question

Fedora download question

[Glenn Ervin at Home]

I would like to download the latest version of Fedora and I am wondering
what the difference is between the following 2 files?

FC2-i386-SRPMS-disc1.iso
and
FC2-i386-disc1.iso
Thanks.

Thanks, and I don't mind having source code.
Now, I am using the Fedora 2.something from maybe around the first of May.
Could this be the cause of why I can install without speech, but if I
include the line:
speakup_synth=dectlk speakup_ser=0
after "text"
it starts speaking and freezes, never getting past the hardware
identification?
* And another question:
Can I get by with just downloading the Disk 1 ISO, of the most recent
version, or have all 4 disks changed?
Thanks.

Minding source code isn't the issue. You can't install from it, unless
you compile every package yourself yourself.

As to your other question, no, absolutely not. You cannot mix versions
and expect results. Don't even try. It'll will only fail, and you'll
have only yourself to blame.

Get a full set of i386 images, and use mdt5sum to check that what you've
downloaded is correct. Only then should you attempt to install.
