[Juggels]

thanks for the info m8 :) downloading it right now... can't wait to try it ;)

[imdeemvp]

Great news for the comuunity.....

[imflying]

Thanks! But it is too slow to me. :(

[carbo18]

I guess my post is bringing the server to it's knees...

[spark1]

getting my max.. 94kb/s ;P

[Engmar]

I wish they would go ahead and announce. It has been sitting on a mirror here at school, 3 blocks away, for 2 days. I'm so impatient =) Thank you for the mirror Carbo, but ftp is throtted on the residential network here.

[carbo18]

I'm going to put a bittorrent link up in a bit for those who are interested. It'll be a couple of hours though...

I'm getting 120kb/s off the server.

[Cjk]

Is the release of FC3 stable?

[fjleal]

Stable at 80.6Kb/s here. Thanks for the link. ;)

that'll be great

[Cjk]

Sorry, not how stable the download is.

Is the actual OS stable or is it still within development/testing?

[imflying]

I can't access the MD5SUM :(
It seemed the directory is not opened.

[blijblijblij]

stable at 500 kb/s :-) ow joy.. this should not take me any longer than an hour :-)

[bUHLooNE]

Hi!

Are there any other servers (Germany prefered :) ) where I can download from? I tried all the mirrors listed on the fedora website but none already worked.

Thanks a lot!

[Cjk]

Is this release of FC3 a stable operating system or is it still within Development/testing.

I'm tempted to download and install it but I won't unless this can be confirmed.

[deuch]

It's a stable version (release date is today 11/08).

For testing release, iso are placed generally in testing or development directory.

deuch

[jackuto]

where's the torrent for fc3?

[Juggels]

no idea how stable the release is but i'm gonnna be installing in about 20 minutes (gotta burn the dvd first :)) so i'll let you know when i can

I found a working Server for FC3 :

have fun :)
Please don't bring him down :D

happy birthday foolish!

//edit: Wrong alarm. You can't download yet, Sorry ;)

[bluespot]

Out of luck, it's pretty impossible to download from Taiwan :(

Does anyone know the time of when Fedora Core 3 will be released today?

[ilja]

Last year it was 10:00 am in Raleigh. I heard that it might be 9:00am in Raleigh this year.

The servers will be up in a few hours, but we here in Europe are impatient waiting till the afternoon. A torrent link would be great ASAP. Thanks.

[ilja]

Sorry I din't noticed this thread: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=26219

[tephra]

no problems :)

i couldn't be bothered to post dvd url :) dont have a dvd drive in my linux box :)

for others that server wont give you a directory listing - you can pretty much guess what the URL's will be ie if you want MD5SUM then append that instead of FC3-i386-disc1.iso :)

FC3 HASN"T been released yet - it will be in a few hours - this is just a headstart for people who want it - like i said in the original thread if people are worried this server is fake then download the ISO's and MD5SUM them against the official server (when its up)

cheers

[b!n42y]

can any1 suggest an ftp proggie which can deal with 2gb and ova or is this just a 4gb issue - well i think i answered my own q but could sum1 confirm plz

[Ph34rT3hP3ngu1n]

damn can't get 2 and 3 due to everyone else download at the same time

well, school will fly by hopefully!

[ewdi]

finally, downloading now :) fun time again

[nniehoff]

Does anyone have an ETA of when the release will be opened? I know it is sometime today. Can anyone be more specific?

Nick

[Cjk]

I'm about to format my PC anyway as I currently have FC2 installed.

Do you strongly recommend I download, install and FC3 rather than FC2 again?

Are there a lot of extra features? Is it worth the upgrade?

[Obi_Wan]

Well great that you don't downloaded it and made simply a torrent link.
Now everyone is Downloading it via FTP and is not participating to the Community.

Thx to everyone who is downloading it via ftp right now and give the Community something back.

.oO( I'll never understand those people )

[Obi_Wan]

Fedora Core 3 via Mirrors and BitTorrent at 3 PM EST or 8 PM GMT

[Juggels]

well i've installed FC3 but it isn't going as smoothly as i had hoped... somehow it won't accept my xorg.conf i used in FC2, now when i boot it just freezes at "Starting Redhat Network Support" (right after the HAL daemon is loaded), other than that i haven't come across any major issues (yet)

hope i can figure out how to fix this, cuz it's annoying the hell out of me ;)

[faethon]

there are bittorrent tracker links to core 3 available from this site:

ok... back with a new status report: got everything up and running now, including my original xorg.conf... guess i made a booboo installing the ati drivers or something, anyway... i'm off finetuning right now, happy treasure hunting everyone! :)The ATI driver doesn't work with Xorg 6.8.x (and FC3) yet....

[Juggels]

i noticed :D thanks for the help guys... it's running smoothly again now...
i take it that the yum repo's aren't really working yet? cuz there are loads of xml related error messages when i try 'yum install mplayer' e.g. (sorry for all the questions, i've only been using linux for two weeks now but loving every second of it)

[faethon]

The ATI driver doesn't work with Xorg 6.8.x (and FC3) yet....
This only applies for 3d accelaration? Or does it impair also xorg as a whole?

[spark1]

leeching off .fr & .nl mirrors. i just loveeeeee those locations!! =]

Yoohooooo :)
Downloading...
Getting between 400-600 kb/s on Bittorrent. Woot!

torrents of bits are flowing in at ~390kb/s with 15kb/s upload limit! Whew! :)

This only applies for 3d accelaration? Or does it impair also xorg as a whole?I don't really know. I just know that the current ATI driver doesn't work with Xorg 6.8.x.

Anyone else having troubles installing from a dvd? I can have it boot into the installer just fine, but when I select the medium to install from, it says there isnt a valid FC3 disc in the drive. Anyone know if a way around this, or have encountered this yet?

Mirrors are open. In case you don't know.

I've merged both of the FC3 released thread, easier to discuss this way :)

I'm getting ~50k/s on bt. But it also seems we're having some major network traffic here at work :(

Any one have a link to extensive release notes or change logs? I have an ITE 8212 IDE RAID controller that i need to use and haven't had much luck with FC2 http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?p=124585#post124585

thanx team

Yeah, I got 'em all. Now i just need to burn Disc 1 and do a ftp install(local server, for my network)

[Finalzone]

I succesfully installed FC3 final. Few words: fast, stable and slick. I will write a review in two days as there are some changes to mention. It will target not only veterans but also news and other OS users.

[Buchan]

Everybody jump on the torrent ... the more the merrier...
http://torrent.linux.duke.edu/

I'm currently getting ove 350 Kb/sec on the dvd iso

DOH!!!! nevermind ... guess I should look at the rest of the post first eh???
I always seem to miss the page#s at the bottom :o

[Finalzone]

Good news Mozilla users, your favorite browser is included on Fedora Core 3 but it is no longer the default. As you know, Firefox is. To choose Mozilla as default browser,

Applications -->Preferences-->More Preference--> Preferred Application
Tag Web browser and change your default browser for Mozilla.

You don't need to download the package. =)

[Prometheus]

Anybody elses torrent going slow? I'm only getting like 10kb... only gonna take like 5 days to finish :(

[Turnip]

Can I ask a totally n00b question?

Presumably it's possible to install FC3 without losing my FC2 config, files, and programs, right?

[JordanN]

I can't wait to actually download it. Firefox is default? Sweeeeeeet! :) :) :)

*looks for all of the threads related to the new release....has to learn as much as he possibly can*

[JLF_65]

Anybody elses torrent going slow? I'm only getting like 10kb... only gonna take like 5 days to finish :(

It takes a while for bt to get up to speed as you connect to people in the swarm. You usually sit there for a couple minutes doing nothing, then you get a few K/sec, then it starts climbing as your upload gets going. Note that limiting the upload usually limits the download as well. That's to encourage sharing. ;)

I'm currently doing ~110 KB/sec here. Note to people: Kb = kilo bits which is NOT the same as KB which is kilo bytes. :D

[willieray]

I'm currently doing ~110 KB/sec here. Note to people: Kb = kilo bits which is NOT the same as KB which is kilo bytes. :D

Indeedy. 8Kb = 1KB. Should clear it up for those who wondered but never asked. :D

[IceNine]

i'm now getting 300-350kb on torrent.

[Dog-One]

I highly recommend all taking a peek at Bill Nottingham's notes (http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2004-November/msg00002.html). A lot of stuff here for FC3 that will save you the trouble of asking later on.

[raublekick]

pardon my ignorance, but should i download the source or binary ISOs?

[sayeeth]

The binary ISOs of course. On a sidenote, anyone knows how to upgrade to FC3 using yum?

[ilja]

yum upgrade
but this is unstable.

[bob]

Well, it was fun while it lasted. Installed FC3 on my backup machine and had it up and dual-booting (don't like the hidden menu though), until I set up my nvidia card. Did it from the instructions on Nvidia by leaving x and then running the 'sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run and then editing my xorg.conf to remove the 'dri' line and change 'nv' to nvidia. That went well with 'startx' and I could run Tuxracer, but only as root.

So, then I decided to reboot and my system is now hanging on 'Configuring kernel parameters'. So, looks like it's back to square one and another hour install.

[sayeeth]

yum upgrade
but this is unstable.

Tried that, nothing happens. Do I need to change anything under yum.conf?

[ilja]

I would use
apt-get dist-upgrade
this works for sure, but is also unstable.

[Turnip]

Didn't notice the new page -- the question has already be answered ;)

[sayeeth]

So you highly suggest I download the ISOs and upgrade from there?

[ilja]

There were a lot of problems in FC1-->FC2. I would at least download the boot.iso and do a netinstall.
But there were also a lot of cases, where it went ok.
Are you a lucky person? :D

[Narcisso]

Hello guys I"m only online for the next 2 hours....

OK major question......how do I upgrade to FC3 from FC2? I've got Grub as my boot loader with dual boot defaul bieng my Windows XP Pro SP1 machine (i've only got 1 HDD); My WiFi card isn't working in FC2 so online isn't an options (its gonna be Internet café for Torrents and burning CD's.

2nd question, is there native support in FC3 for Atheros based WiFi cards (such as DWL-G520 by Dlink)?

3rd question will FC3 allow me to plug in my Samsung Yepp Y-55i MP3 player/USB Key once its booted up to auto boot that drive??

Burning need to upgrade; as I'm fustrated with trying to load (or whatever its called) WiKi packages in FC2 for the DLink card - I installed as a Personal Desktop so installing the kernel source from the CD's isn't happening nor is it easy - its asking for way too many dependancy's and I have NO clue where to find them.

Any help will be much appreciated.

PS to all those die - hards in the community thanks for improving upon something great and willing to share it - even with nuubs and pundits like myself.....giving us an alternative to Windows; I'm in the weening stage.

oh yeah tomorrow I'll post an attachment Jpeg for a desktop pic, in rememberance for Christopher Reeves; I know its a while ago but I'm partial to Superman (created in Canada, and the first movie I've ever seen in the theatres)!

Cheers :D

[sayeeth]

I don't know about being lucky, but when I did a fresh installation of FC2, everything worked perfectly. Though I won't bet on everything working smoothly when I upgrade to FC3 once the darn bittorrent completes. It's like taking forever. :(

disable rhgb during boot.

[raublekick]

grr.. azureus closes when i try to open the torrent...
gotta go to work now though :(

[ravalox]

Nvidia and FC3 don't seem to get along, if you attempted a driver install and it hangs, use the rescue CD to boot to the console and edit your xorg.conf to the way it was. That will permit you to boot as normal and wait for nvidia to issue new drivers.

[logan5]

Here's a link to some ftp servers http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html

and here's a link to bit torrent - http://torrent.linux.duke.edu/

I would like to see verybody jump on the bit torrent and open thier upload to help me out. :)

Bob - when you get this worked out please post some tips. This is something I will have to go through as I have an nVidia card.

Are you using the latest Nvidia drivers dated 5th November?

[Psquared]

According to the nVidia linux forum the driver works with FC3. I didn't spend a lot of time searching, but it looks like there shouldn't be any problems.

Keep your torrents up even after your download is done!! Help out everyone else! I am!!!

Is that the default desktop? If so, it's an improvement on FC2!

Just got on the torrent - 66kB - not great, but a start its definately going up and down a bit, 16h to go... almost tempted to snag the ISO's from a mirror - anyone else having slow torrent results?

My torrent was unacceptably slow (<20kB/s), even though I was uploading at 25kB/s - and not choking (my upload cap is ~45kB/s).

Switched to FTP, now downloading at 50kB/s... still slow, but at least it's consistant.

-- darn leeches, stealing my BW ;)

[ravalox]

I used kget this moring to start a download, I go to work and when I get home it is not anywhere on my harddrive. I check the Kget log and it reports a successful download. So apparently I had the iso for it on my drive and then it was deleted somehow automatically. So a word to the wise, KGet is suspect. I don't have any timed processes to my knowledge that would eat it.

[Prometheus]

This really sucks, im dowloading from the duke torrent, no upload or dload cap, and im still getting <20 kB. At this rate, it will only take another 20 hours :( ...Dont get it, and this is after downloading for like 4-5 hours while i was at work (started dl at lunch)

Doesnt make sense, speed spikes then drops back down to like 15ish, spikes again to like 30 for a min, goes back down... Doesnt make any sense at all.

From the Fedora website:
---
Note: If you are using HTTP or FTP to download, some download clients cannot handle the DVD image because it is larger than 4 gigabytes. Please refer to the documentation of your download client for details.
----

Mozilla can't handle anything greater that 2GB. Try gFTP or BitTorrent.

[taylor65]

The duke.edu torrent is slow, switch to the other torrent file that was in this thread - I was getting 80Kb/s from the duke torrent, I switched to the other one and now I'm getting 350Kb/s. I also tried FTP directly, but get dropped halfway through. Bittorrent is the way to go, but for some reason there's a problem with the duke torrent file.

:( :mad: I have downloaded this twice today. Once via FTP and once via the duke torrent and both times my MD5SUM results are similar to this:

$ md5sum --status --check FC3-i386-disc3.iso
md5sum: FC3-i386-disc3.iso: no properly formatted MD5 checksum lines found

Any suggestions? I am not looking forward to another download...

[Finalzone]

Check out FC3 running XFCE4.

I tried about ten ftp sites and couldn't do any better than about 45Kb/s - but I tried this site from Ireland and got a full 195Kb/s - stable for iso's 1,2 & 3
ftp://ftp.esat.net/pub/linux/fedora/

Can anyone tell me where the kernel source rpm is, I ca not find it in FC3.

If I just used
md5sum FC3-i386-disc1.iso
then it shows the right checksum, but if to use
md5sum --status --check FC3-i386-disc1.iso
or
md5sum --check FC3-i386-disc1.iso
then some errors happen.

What's wrong?

[nekogami]

Used links at begining of thread.
Averaged 150kbs.

Now have FC3 up and running.

Thanks for the links.

[mrcbrown]

88.7% - 45 minutes to go :) only took 10h or so to get it all done it looks like :) granting I can keep this download rate.

Anyone tried the Upgrade FC2 -> FC3 with any sucess or would you guys suggest installing FC3 fresh vs. the upgrade?

[WebWind]

I am gonna download it tomorrow and make fresh install ;)
Could someone tell me the safest way to make fresh install of FC3.
I have got dual boot with WinXP on 120 GB SATA HDD.
Is it sufficient to allow Anaconda installer format all Linux partitions and reinstall grub?

[sayeeth]

I've finished installing now my Linksys WUSB11 v2.6 Adapter doesn't work!

[neilius]

Ah so now I've installed, we come to the questions of the extra repositories (Livna and Fedora.us), MP3 support, a nice RPM of the nVidia driver, and other stuff that FC2 had. But so far so good, it's running pretty nicely so far.

Regards,

Neil. :)

I have the same problem with the --status and --check options. I have not tried it without the command line options. :confused:

Without those options those keys are correct for me. I guess that those errors doesn't matter, because checksums are correct.

I am going to burn cds now...

I have just verified that without the options my checksums are correct as well. I have already created the CDs and I will continue to load them on my "test" system first before I attempt to update my primary machine.

Good luck!

hi can i upgrade from fedora 2 to 3 ? Any problem ?

To use the --check option you have to specify the MD5SUM file, not the ISO.

[sayeeth]

Everything is working just fine now on FC3 after a Fresh Installation. Had to reconfigure my wireless usb adapter but that was a breeze. FC3 sure is fast and smooth! I'm begining to like it already. Next time I'm going to backup my data and do a fresh install. :p

Thank you! Another example that shows how patient one should be and read the man page. I am sorry, it would have been there, I am sure.

OK, but I am a happy Fedora Core 3 user now :p

This community rocks!

Yes, it was - I read it myself, since I wasn't sure. Heck, it's only been 6 months or so... :D

[ahoyt]

Sorry for the ignorance, but are the SRPMs the source code for the FC3 iso's?

ahoyt :eek:

[ilja]

The GPL-Licence forces everyone to publish his sources. Because RPMs are only binaries, RedHat publishes also SRPMs with sources.

[peterskm]

I used the torrents off of this site yesterday and was getting about 300k+ down...

http://sunsite.mff.cuni.cz/fedora-torrent/

Way better than the duke torrent at about 20k down.

[ruturajv]

hey guys..
Its a new OS unlike the firefox release hangover...
I think the new installation of OS is much difficult as compared to firefox ;)
anyways guys do you know what is new if FC 3 so that I scrap my FC 2 for it ?
I'm quite a newbie...
I want to know the new features of FC 3 ..

[Theradoor]

Great !!! FC Rocks :D

[Theradoor]

bugged Much so i changed to fedora core 2 again ;)

Applications -->Preferences-->More Preference--> Preferred Application

I just upgraded from FC2 and Preferred Application is missing from the menu.

Could someone please tell me the command I can type to run it (assuming it's still there)?
