Fedora Core 4 is sitting on the mirrors

[JayTee]

The read-to-download version of Fedora Core 4 is on the mirrors, but of course is locked until ......

[foolish]

Well, of course. This is how distribution to mirrors work, and have always worked. It'll sit on the mirrors untill the release, which is noonish monday. It'll be released on most of the mirrors over a short time period to reduce load on each individual mirror.

[vishnumrao]

Hey just checked out the mirror in my university. I click on the dvd iso and it starts downloading. I cancelled the download cos i want the x86_64 version which is not present. only the i386 and ppc versions.

Link: http://mirror.clarkson.edu/pub/distributions/fedora/linux/core/4/i386/iso/

[mrtaber]

The wait is killing me, I tell ya! :)

Mark

[vishnumrao]

Hey has anyone completed a sucessful download.

[c4raku]

i can try in about an hour when i get home. but i expect once the powers that be see this little snafu the mirror will be locked down.

edit: just checked, dvd.iso and cd1.iso both show as 649mb when i start the DL. ill pass on the sneak-peak for now. got a few more things to mess around with on my t3 install to see if i can break it before updating anyway.

[Firewing1]

Hey,
Nice. It's unlocked on that FTP site. Unfourtunatly, there's only disk 1 and it dl's at 30 kbs... It's almost as slow as dial-up, so I cancelleds :p
Firewing1

[vishnumrao]

Yeah the download is slow because there must be many people who are trying to download from this one unlocked mirror. I am within the university network. Really fast download for me.

There is a dvd iso too. check it out.

[vishnumrao]

Hello guys,
I have already downloaded disc 1 and disc 2 for my friend here. :D :D

[nandowong]

Hello guys,
I have already downloaded disc 1 and disc 2 for my friend here. :D :D


can i get it? :D

[vishnumrao]

Hello guys,

I got all the 4 cds and already installed on my friends compter.

Probably the first computer to have FC4 installed. :D :D :rolleyes:

[wellander]

Hi,
http://mirrors.xmission.com/fedora/core/4/i386/iso/ is where I downloaded my copy of it.

[Shadow Skill]

Bah I need a dvd iso and a torrent...I just hosed my fc3 setup and I had just made E17 work..sort of. :(

[wellander]

Hi,
What is wrong with the cd setup method?
Even though I have a dvd burner and dvd rw's I still like to use cd's for linux distros.

[tanis]

hey where can iget the torrent for the dvd iso.
i am not a expert user and have never contributed anything so i don't like
to put a load on the servers.

[tanis]

could somebody who has it host a tracker.
or i'll host a tracker and somebody upload it to it.

[kcpavan]

What's the new Stuff in FC4.Already running FC3 in my Laptop (Dell 600m).Is it worth upgrading to FC4?

[tanis]

i really hope so cuz i just deleted the iso of fc 4 test 3 and formatted the partion.

[wellander]

Hi,
There are a few bugs in it.

[c4raku]

umm

that mirror isnt supposed to be live until monday. so no torrents yet unless somebody has put out an unofficial 1.
looks like i might have to try these cd's "legal" or not. forgot to turn off nightly yum update and now have some fc5 stuff messing up my install. 1389 kernel, no bluecurve login screen, etc.

[w5set]

I wouldn't rule out last minute changes before Monday though.....
I think I will just sit tight for a spell....
It ain't set in concrete YET!
I can wait.....

[imdeemvp]

Patience gross-hoppers! we are almost there.

[zombie]

Hi all,
I found this torrent for the cd isos

http://www.torrentspy.com/download.asp?id=326159

I can't wait, so I started to download

bie!

[Majulo]

What you say ? :-)

http://ftp.man.poznan.pl/pub/linux/fedora/4/i386/iso/

[tanis]

i started the torrent.
looks to me like a private tracker.
ehhh just as well.

its slower than when i downloaded FC4 test 3 but at 19 KB/sec it ought to complete before monday

[dnar]

Hey just checked out the mirror in my university. I click on the dvd iso and it starts downloading. I cancelled the download cos i want the x86_64 version which is not present. only the i386 and ppc versions.

Thanks man, downloading CD's 1-4 + rescue as we speak, 20% there.

[robatino]

Also

ftp://ftp.nara.wide.ad.jp/pub/Linux/fedora/core/4/i386/iso/

[robatino]

I usually manage to find at least one at the list of mirrors:

http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html

This time it was relatively easy, I only had to try 5 or 10 foreign servers, starting at the bottom. When FC3 was released, it was much harder.

[ghaefb]

So what is this ?
Is this the final version.. can we download, or wait till monday ? :)

[robatino]

I checked the signature on the SHA1SUM file, and it's a good. Haven't finished the download of the FC4-i386-disc?.iso files yet so I can't say that the sha1sum's match, but based on past experience, it doesn't get pushed out to the mirrors unless RH decided it was final (though if there was some really bad bug discovered at the last minute, they could theoretically push out new versions and disavow anything released before Monday, since anyone possessing it was naughty).

[jtang613]

Shhh... don't tell anyone ;)

[need2mod]

You guys crack me up, reminds me of Star Wars fanatics lined up to watch Return of the Sith at the theatres. Except we're all waiting with our fingers on the keyboard and mouse to download FC4. :D

[robatino]

Download finished, the 4 sha1sum's check. BTW, the signature date on the SHA1SUM file, and the dates on the files on the server, is June 7. The only reason this wasn't released on June 6 was concern over whether the name of the release (Stentz) would cause problems, so it's not too likely that last-minute bugs will cause a recall.

[need2mod]

Will the minimum system requirement for FC4 be any different than FC3? Actually, what is the system requirement for FC4?

I am running FC3 on a 850 mhz Athlon system with 512mb of RAM. Disk space is not a problem for me since I have a 120gb hdd just for this Linux operation.

Thanks.

Your system requirements are OK, FC4 should run smooth :)

[jim]

I would say if where your downloading from is dated Before June 10 then you might be getting a version that is bunk. The reason they didn't release on monday June 6 was because of a Kernel problem. I will wait til monday just in case

[jim]

Which site has the torrent for the DVD?

[alphonsebrown]

maybe it's a real one :)

[initnas]

so does it works? anybody?

I thought the delay was over the name? Either way, I'll mD5 the iso's and anyway the first yum should sort out package changes no?

[PeTzZz]

Torrents will be available here (http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/). I will wait for it. I am torrent fan.

The speed from servers will decrease if there are many users downloading, but the speed from the torrent will increase if there are many users downloading.

:p

[vishnumrao]

so does it works? anybody?


Yes it does work. Really really good. FC4's been worth waiting for.

GLORY TO THE PENGUIN. :D :D

[pparks1]

So, i just have to know.

Why is everybody so anxious about the release of FC4? Is it just because it is something new? is there some new feature which is going to revolutionize the Linux world?

My guess is that it is just something new. I've been using Linux now since Red Hat 6.1, and everytime a new version is released the mirrors are flooded for a few weeks. My personal experience has been that the new releases have a graphical change or two, but all-in-all, it's about 95% the same as the past version......hence I never see the reason to scramble to the first in line.

[dnar]

Some people (me included) just love the bleeding edge. Mostly, I look forward to the next version of Gnome. I really loved the speed of Gnome back in 1.x days, 2.0 to me sucked so I really want better performance.

[sirbrett]

having a lower end sound card, i am drooling over the new version in alsa thats included :)

[vishnumrao]

Can someone post a link to torrent for the x86_64 bit version.

[Monchy]

anyone tried a http/ftp install yet? experienced an anaconda error earlier so just wondering if it was me.

[nandowong]

I got mine up and running everything seems fine except yum update does not work. It'll probably will on monday

[robyn001]

If you already have FC4 Test 3 installed, can one just continue on with the yum updates, or must one re-download the newly released FC 4 and install again?

Thanks

[jtang613]

Always wipe the test version before installing a release version. Test versions are for development, testing and bug-reporting, only.

btw: My FC4 install went fine. Looks like the open mirrors are hosting the real-deal. Got mine from Bittorrent (only took 4 hours). Still have to wait for the yum repos to catch up though.

[neilius]

Hehe this looks promising, and seems to be the real thing, judging from what I've read. Can anyone who is successfully running it post the output of 'uname -a' please? Still I'm a little wary after someone mentioned the delay was due to a kernel problem. How did you find that out? Can you give us a brief summary of what the problem is? I too assumed it was just a naming issue. If this is indeed real, there are a few site owners out there who are going to be a little embarressed!

I belive FC4 will come with 2.6.12 kernel ?

Read here -> http://forums.fedoraforum.org/forum/showpost.php?p=276941&postcount=8
Rahul is saying "...you dont have to turn off SELinux support for Reiserfs3 in FC4."
And this is only possible in kernel 2.6.12.

Or am I wrong ?

2.6.11I read that 2.6.12RC5 would be in it :confused:

Edit: browsed the readme and found this: The Fedora Core is based on a 2.6.11 kernel. Fedora Core may include additional patches for improvements, bug fixes, or additional features. For this reason, the Fedora Core kernel may not be line-for-line equivalent to the so-called vanilla kernel from the kernel.org web site.

RedHat (now Fedora) apply upstream patches to their packages, so the 2.6.11 Fedora kernel does actually have many fixes/features of 2.6.12 anyway.

w00t !

my linux hard disk has gone last week...can't really wait to reinstall linux in my pc (i'm going to get a new mobo/cpu/hard disk meanwhile :D)..i am downloading the x86_64 isos with bittorrent....can anyone confirm that FC4 supports ReiserFS and SElinux ??? that's a feature i really like!

AFAIK only ext3 and xfs support selinux.

[TWljaGFlbA]

Ok I used the torrent of i386and did a fresh install of fedora..... Doing the normal installation and then I did the usual FC3 NVIDIA install instructions just like FC3... Downloaded 7664 NVIDIA drivers for the FX520.

sh filename.run

comoiled own module rather than going from nvidia ftp server

cd /etc/X11

vim xorg.conf

changed nv to nvidia

commented out dri and glcore and made sure glx was there

and then did modprobe nvidia and it initally loaded. However, there was now nothing to copy over to /etc/udev/devices like there was in FC3 where u would overwrite the files...

so then rebooted it showed the nvidia logo and then it flashed a few times and then x wouldnt display. Searched fedoraforum and I looked in modprobe.conf for what someone recommended about some conflicts, and there was no "/etc/modprobe.conf should have an entry "alias char-major-195* nvidia".
If the entry is "alias char-major-195* nvidia-1_0-7174", drop the -1_0-7174.
If there is a entry "alias nvidia nvidia-1_0-7174", remove it."

So basically the nvidia drivers and x arent working../... anyone have any luck.

Sorry if this sounds a bit jumbled up im just pretty worn out and tired.... I havent tampered with FC4 testing lately so any help on getting nvidia display drivers working with fedora.

[Jygar]

I have the Nvidia drivers working great with my GeForce Go 6200, configured first time, my only issue is the is that PCMCIA service crashes FC4.

Jy

[TWljaGFlbA]

how did you get it installed Jygar with FC4?

[Jygar]

ummm k....

i entered console using ctrl+alt+f1

init 3

(press ctrl+alt+f1 if console doesnt reappear or ctrl+c)

sh Nvidia-file-name

init 5

logged in and changed my xorg.conf to support my Geforce Go 6200:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "nVidia"
BoardName "GeForce Go 6200"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1280x800"
EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "DRI"
Group 0
Mode 0666
EndSection

then back into console (ctrl+alt+f1)

init 3

(press ctrl+alt+f1 if console doesnt reappear or ctrl+c)

init 5

and boop deee dooo Nvidia Splash!

Hope it helps.

Jy

[TWljaGFlbA]

wow so all you did was just run the nvidia installer and then edited xorg and everything works fine now? you didnt need to modprobe anything or copy any devices? wow. ill do a fresh install and see if I can confirm this. Is anybody else able to confirm this for fc4 that the modprobe, etc... is no longer needed unlike fc3

[sirbrett]

my process was a little different for installing the nvidia driver.
1) ctrl-alt-f1
2) log in as root
3) telinit 3
4) ctrl-alt-f2
5) log in as root
6) sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-7664-pkg2.run
7) change nv to nvidia in xorg.conf
8) reboot

didnt have to do modprobe or copy anything....

[Jygar]

I was told to modprobe on the site i went to but didnt, I neva even did that on FC3 and it worked, lol.

Jy

[TWljaGFlbA]

And you have fine 3d acceleration? So i guess ill just try that out tommorrow. Basically getting to runlevel 2 or 3 and then running the nvidia installer and then editing xorg and then rebooting.

has anyone tried this with x86_64 or a 6600 graphics card?

[dnar]

Well so far the number of bugs I have found is alarming. uDev really sucks the big one!

1. udev slow at mounting devices
2. udev not notifying Gnome of new mounts (iPod and Flash devices)
3. udev naming issue with iPod
4. Alt-F1-F6 terminals corrupted (unreadable) with green broder
5. gpilotd craches at sync
6. Gnome not updating my desktop when new files added (works initially then dies)
7. "eject" no longer ejects my iPod Mini (could be related to #3)
8. I can no longer browse shared (cups) printers from other RH/FC3 boxes

other than that, looks much the same as FC3.

I didn't expect so many issues with my peripherals, these devices were working fine with FC3.

[TWljaGFlbA]

Hopefully everything will be settled for tommorrow... Would be nice if there is perhaps a udev patch already on up2date or yum. After I mount about 5 thumb drives and 1 USB drive to retrive all my backedup data I should be set for now with udev flash devices until a new patch is out. I think thats the only relevant problem. In FC3 I experience problems with GNOME not updating desktops, i usually just end up opening /home/name/Desktop in nautilus and refresh and then it refreshes desktop and shows up. Hopefully there wont be t hat many other problems.

Yeah I had that once or twice in FC3, but the method you mention dos not work in FC4, you have to kill nautilus and let her re-spawn.

did this occur to just certain files or random ones or what?

you md5sums are correct (at least the 1st one)

I did not know md5sum is being replaced by sha1sum. I had not even heard of sha1sum until now. Lucky I had Cygwin installed under Windows. I used the sha1sum there to check the sha1sums. All the sha1sums checked out fine.

I typed the following command:

$ sha1sum *.iso

The following was output:

3fb2924c8fb8098dbc8260f69824e9c437d28c68 *FC4-i386-disc1.iso

Well now its everything mounted on the fly or any files I drop onto the Desktop indirectly (save from Firefox for example).

Mounting flash drives? Plug them in, they auto-mount, but dont appear on the desktop until I either 1) kill nautilus or 2) click on their icons in the "Computer" folder.

I hate fedora core, I dont know why I am downloading these cd's. I guess I am just hoping this one will be different(I mean less bugs than one, two, three). maybe they will pull a starwars and have a good 4, 5, and 6(and yes I disliked 3).

用非常规手段得到了FC4官方的BT种子

http://fedora.redhat.com 上有Fedora Core 3的BT种子服务器链接 http://torrent.linux.duke.edu

里边FC3的种子为 http://torrent.linux.duke.edu/torre...ry-i386.torrent

刚才发帖子问了FC4的研发代号为stentz，那么种子就是……
http://torrent.linux.duke.edu/torre...ry-i386.torrent

还真下载下来了，可惜就是连不上server……

Verified now, the fedoraproject torrent for the x86_64 DVD is working

[nbx909]

direct d/l is running fast... i'll stick with it...

[Sivel]

I am waiting on them to unlock gatech.edu so I can download at 2MB/s

It shouldn't take long to download it from there ;)

[TWljaGFlbA]

im soooo stupid.... for some unknown reason i canceled the download of torrent when i was going at 20-30kbps and i restarted it then and am now doing 5....

[TripToy]

If your having problems downloading any of these torrents, I uploaded the x86_64 DVD and the i386 CD set to my website at:

http://www.triptoy.net/dir/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=404#404

[TWljaGFlbA]

none of the torrents are working for me now.... WTF.

[bitrain]

none of the torrents are working for me now.... WTF.Do you have a firewall?

[wshawn]

Yeah this rocks.

total of 80 minutes for the DVD to download

[stormvice]

.torrent Ok now...
awww God...gimme patience to wait 3-4 days downloading at 10kb/s...15 maximum
crappy brazilian connection... :mad:

[luibh]

running the torrent of i386. cruzing along at 150kb/s with my upload equal to it. both were slowly increasing and have stablized.

[TripToy]

none of the torrents are working for me now.... WTF.

The ones I got are working for me? What do you mean they arnt working?

[TWljaGFlbA]

0 up 0 down... I havent changed any settings or anything... they were working till I accidentally closed them, I think ill reconnectr to the internet.

[Ubermick]

Been running for 34 min now on the x86_64 torrent, now at around 430KB/s download, should be done and seeding in 1.5 hours or less. BT rocks ;)

[TWljaGFlbA]

dang, im going at 2kbps now after turning off a few firewalls lol. this is on SBC DSL which is supposed to go like 256k

[snoze]

http://mirror.linux.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/ try this

[Sivel]

Bittorrent is to slow for me. I am downloading from ftp at 3.8MB/s (30mbit/s). I should have every iso for i386 downloaded in less than 45min.

Can you post a link of where you got yours from thanks

[nbx909]

i plan on seeding the dvd after i get it burned

[Ubermick]

Seeding now, total time to d/l the x86_64 DVD was 2h55m. Looks like there's 19 other seeders in the swarm, so it should be pretty fast now.

[sc3252]

Holy ****, I was uploading all night and am at 12100 mb, my internet provider is going to kill me(in the pocket book).

[dc2447]

I downloaded from the links in this thread last night and the M5sums do not match those published on the fedora website.

You have been warned . . .

[tejas]

I downloaded from the links in this thread last night and the M5sums do not match those published on the fedora website.

You have been warned . . .You are the 7th person I am telling this to

Those are sha1sums on the website, NOT MD5SUMS.

you do sha1sum <file>, not md5sum <file>

[dc2447]

You are the 7th person I am telling this to

Those are sha1sums on the website, NOT MD5SUMS.

you do sha1sum <file>, not md5sum <file>

No ****.

To rephrase for the pedantic: The output of the checksum algorithms do not match those published on the Fedora website.

[tejas]

Mine matched exactly.

I installed it 12 hours ago, long before the official release, and everthing works perfectly.

Maybe you actually had a download error. And I had finished the first CD yesterday, and still have the same checksums as the one publised on redhat.com today

the checksum was wrong on every file -

[bitrain]

M5sums do not match those published on the fedora website.You say MD5sum here, the ones listed are sha1sums, either your post is wrong or you didn't understand what tejas said.

[bytesniper]

the sha1sum's matched perfectly from the 64bit iso's i got from bit torrent yesterday too.. after i realised they were using sha1sums not md5sums :)

[dc2447]

You say MD5sum here, the ones listed are sha1sums, either your post is wrong or you didn't understand what tejas said.

It was an error, I should of posted sha1sums, get over it.

The fact remains that they don't match, just a heads up to those downloading off unofficial mirrors.

Bitrain, ByteSniper, our breath is wasted on people like this.

If dc2447 would care to look at: http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html

He would see that both of the mirrors that are posted in this thread are official mirrors of RedHat.

People throught this thread have downloaded the 4 isos and they have worked without any problems.

But obviously we are wrong because the end-all be-all demigod dc2447 insists that they don't work.

What can we poor mortals do, but erase what we think is a working copy of FC4.

I wonder what he got as the sha1sum anyway?

Here are my sh1sums of the 'unofficial' FC4 i386 CD-ROMs from the torrent URL posted in this thread near the beginning:

I wonder what he got as the sha1sum anyway?

he will either:
1) realise he messed up and feel like a complete jerk for .. well.. being a complete jerk to those of us who are giving our time to try and help, or
2) realise that he has a bad download and redownload the images and corrently run sha1sum and get valid checksums and enjoy FC4 as i know i am :)
3) we will never hear from him again.. i know he won't ever get my assistance again.

Your assistance? ROFL. Love the arrogance kid, love it.

Didn't have to look at your pprofile to see you were American, god help the world. people like you could have an argument in an empty room.

******.

[Heon2574]

dc2447, where did you get your fc4 download links in this thread and how did you get it (http, ftp, torrent) ?

[CuCullin]

Your assistance? ROFL. Love the arrogance kid, love it.

Didn't have to look at your pprofile to see you were American, god help the world. people like you could have an argument in an empty room.

******.

Yes, you are quite obviously not one to argue, and as such, couldn't be an American, because all americans argue.

(where is the </sarcasm> button again?)


Now, I also downloaded from the first torrent link that was up and about (though the file itself was on an unofficial site, but was an official torrent btw), sha1sums matched up just fine, burned just fine, read just fine.

I'll be installing FC4 on my rather irritatingly slow p4 tonight or tomorrow (damn i need more ram), and posting up on my experience then. As an aside, anyone with FC4 using wireless hardware?

Just curious how the acx100 drivers are working out, anything silly happening. I'll be installing regardless, but my wifi card is a pain in the ass (hardware itself).

[bytesniper]

my arrogance? you come here claiming something totally false and then when you realise you were wrong you start personally insulting those who were trying to help you? im being sterotyped as an American because why? I argue? That's not being American, that's being human. And i might point out that at least I made sure i was correct, before i started arguing and making accusations. when you couldnt find fault in the suggestion that i made you insult me personally becuase it didn't agree with what you originally posted? Yes, i am American and damned proud of it, but at least I don't try to hide where I am from. If you are representative of whatever country you come from i would try to hide it too.

******. Back at ya bud.

[tejas]

Duh!!!! I'm a moronThis is pathetic!

Would someone please close this thread?

This has been 12 pages of bickering, and the original theme of this thread was the early FC4 release, which is no longer of any use

I lived in the US for 10 years, and I do not find Americans any more arrogant than a couple of snobs I've met the world over.

If some idiot kept saying the world was flat, and then everytime someone started correcting him, he just started yelling and insulting people, THAT would be the stereotype you'd fall in.

Where are YOU from anyway?

EDIT: Um, did I misquote you? Well, it's the sprit of the law, not the letter

[strikeforce]

The personal attacks weren't called for. Simply putting a statement like that should have been backed up with facts. The Sha1sums provided match. People including me have checked the sha1sum's and they match.

You are one of the few that have had issues. Simply stated you downloaded an incorrect version good job on checking the sha1sum's now go and download another copy :D

[jtang613]

To all those who are continuing a pointless argument (you know who you are). Here's a little reminder (see attached image). ;)

[Firewing1]

Hey,
Let's all stop arguing? Who gives? UR ALL AGUING OVER A SHA1SUM, FOR GOD'S SAKE... Just get over it...
Anyhow, what does it matter anyway now? RedHat's got the offical ISO, so wost come to wosrt just get them there...
Firewing1

[bytesniper]

just for clarification my intention was never to argue about anything. ive been using boards long enough to know that what jtang613 posted is absolutely the truth. I also completely agree with tejas that this thread desperately needs to be locked... please :)

[tejas]

the truth jtang613 does speak

but guilty we all are...
stupid argument, helped we did.

Now lock thread, we must

[netjrc]

Hi,

X died for me too after installing the nvidia driver. I looked over at the nVNews forum and found out that other people are having the same problem. Here is the workaround that worked for me:

# /usr/sbin/setenforce 0
# ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7664-pkg1.run
# /usr/sbin/setenforce 1
