Hi all,
I am unable to boot from Disc 1:D any suggestion.. I am burning it again. Earlier I burn it in gnome desktop.. now buning it in windows

[csfalcon]

I thought you had good new :-p I am sure the CD is bootable, many people have installed FC4 already. your bios is set to boot from CD first right?

[mkoljack]

I'm downloading the torrent for the CD's at speeds of 275-350 kb/s; DVD speed is only 75-150 kb/s. This is with Azureus. Pretty good so far.

I'm using the Duke torrent site:

[snoze]

hey download it from

ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/

these two sites are much faster than nay one

[snoze]

good luck and happy installlation

[snoze]

After seeing openoffice ,, I want to quit XP.. but it is in my dual boot :D

[chili555]

Just installed FC4 on my IBM T23 lappy via upgrade, NOT via clean install. Took about an hour. Booted right up with /home intact, all settings in place. Wireless, prism54, even works! Not a single hitch.

[jsimmonds]

Hmmm ok, downloading the ISO when I get home, want to look at the new OpenOffice :-)

[RussianVodka]

I downloaded FC4 when I came back from school, but have to wait till wendsday too install....

Now that we know how it's great, mind telling us the bugs that you encountered?

[jsimmonds]

Ahh yes the bugs, I am personally very interested in Open Office 2.

Also how much HDD will a complete Install take up???

[Sammy]

mirrors.kernel.org is very fast indeed. I was going to go the torrent route but while there were lots and lots of peers, speed was average at best.

Didnt know FC4 was released until late today and figured I would DL it and then install it later. While I am still having some issues in FC3 (I cannot say 'with' as I dont know), if there are more issues with the upgrade than it solves, I am content to wait until the kinks are worked out. If there arent any, those CDs are going in tomorrow :o)

But anyways... I must say that while I dreaded the coming of the monster known as XP (apologies to the monsters out there), and the eventual drop of W2K support, I look upon FC4 a good thing. Tho personally I would have called it v3.5. That way 3 wont already look like old technology, which its not. Like FC, NT used major versions but were spaced apart pretty good. If MS is smart they will have an XP2 whenever their latest and greatest is supposed to be released instead of some new acronym.

Next year: "FC" will be dropped and "PTZ" will be the new OS! ;o)

[TripToy]

Like a trend right?

This week we wear ghetto clothes, next week we wear punk clothes and flannel, the week
after we are wearing tutu's and purple slippers (no underwear). :eek:

Itz all about the trend y0! Get Wit IT!

[strikeforce]

My bugs are mainly related to the fact that upgraded instead of a clean re-install. I had heaps of crap that I didnt want to get rid off thats all. I also cbf re-installing so with that I had issues.

[snoze]

In Mycase wireless is also working... sound has no problem and system is running up2date. thanks for fedora team..
so now i can say, FC4 is a complete operating system for thinkpad.

[bitrain]

Ahh yes the bugs, I am personally very interested in Open Office 2.

Also how much HDD will a complete Install take up???About 7 GB was FC3 so I think FC4 will also be around 7 - 7.5 GB

[snoze]

it depeds what is in ur box

The RPMs for FC3 from freshrpms will work and include MP3 support:

[Firewing1]

hey,
I don't like it, but don't hate it either. Im having probs installing libmcrypt and PHP on it, b/c I have tp customize the PHP options, can't use RPMs... But, nice speed increase! Also, (bad thing) file-roller is messed up... Try "extract" --> It will extract into the folder highlighted, even if you didn't double click. AKA, you can't double click the "Home" folder on the side bar to extract in home, b/c it'll extract to a subdir of home. It's retarted.
