Fedora 9 iso file

Fedora 9 iso file

[Georgina Joyce]

Hi

Could someone just confirm what file it  is I need to download for the
new Fedora?

In exploring speakupmodified I'm confused.  I thought the release was
called Suphus but there are files relating to rawhide.  Furthermore, the
checksum file appears to be for a DVD iso and the actual iso appears to
be a net install iso.

/Fedora/i386/iso > ls
Fedora-Rawhide-i386-DVD.iso            SHA1SUM
Fedora-Rawhide-i386-netinst.iso
ncftp ...dora/9/

Many thanks.

It's still called "rawhide," because it's still pre-release. Once the
release is official--about a week or so from now--that will change.

The DVD iso is there. Please check again. You'll find two iso images per
architecture. The why of it all is explained via our web page:

Hi Janina

Many thanks for the explaination regarding the titles.

Silly me just read line by line so I thought there was just one file and
the sha1sum was attached to the DVD.

I've read quite a bit on your site but haven't seen anything about a net
install option.  Although, it's not what I was looking for at the time.
I know that there are speakup users who will welcome having the net
install option.

Well done for putting speakup users in front for a change.
Congratulations!!!!!!!

 Regards

Gena

It's actually been there for quite some time. Anyone who remembers the
"Where's your installation media?" screen from the Fedora install might
recall there are options to install over nfs and httpd along with the
more traditional cd rom and hard-drive options.

It seems Fedora has begun promoting this consciousness, and that's a
good thing because the presence of yum in the installation scripts means
that the installer can pull the very latest rpm packages from across the
net, if they're newer than the rpms on the DVD, for instance. Of course,
you might not want to do that if there are a lot of newer rpms to pull
and your Internet connection isn't the fastest. Indeed, I think even an
ADSL connection is questionable for more than a few dozen rpms.

Still, you may be interested to know that this is how we installed
Fedora on our SpeakupModified.Org server. That machine lives in a data
center in Houston, Texas where we get really fast connections to the
Internet. Since we installed at our new server before SpeakupModified
images were available, we installed across http. We modified our
grub.conf to start the install kernel and initrd for telnet access, just
as our mini-howto about using telnet to install recommends. When it came
time to choose where to get the installation media we specified the
redhat.com site which is actually thousands of miles removed from our
physical location. It took under half an hour to effect the
installation--that's how good our connection is.

Thanks, but that part of the job and praise belongs to Bill Acker, and I
join you in it. I'm just the documenatrix around here! <grin>
