HI,

I'll be getting a new computer soon that won't be pre-loaded with an OS. I want to put F10 with KDE on it, so I'm wondering which ISO I should use. I grabbed Fedora-10-i686-Live-KDE.torrent, but will that work?

thanks,
Ed

What CPU do you have? In 99% of the cases, the i686 image will be fine though. See here (http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=187854) for more information.

The processor will be the Dual-Core Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.00GHz 1333FSB 6MB L2 Cache

You CAN use x86_64, but you don't HAVE to. i686 will work fine, unless you have more than 4gb of ram, then it gets a little fuzzy.

You grabbed a torrent, so make sure you have a torrent client. ;)

Thanks for that info! I'll have 4gb of RAM, so I guess I'll stick with the 686.

Thanks again,
Ed
