Fedora 2 Servers Are Live!

[Ug]

The Fedora Core 2 servers are up and accessible now. Head on over to the Fedora mirror page and select the mirror closest to you before downloading.

Its not worth trying to download the ISOs from http://fedora.redhat.com/ that server is likely to be jammed for the next 72 hours.

All Core 2 questions can now be asked in the standard support forums here at Fedora Forum. Core 1 questions will still be supported in the support forum, but it would be of great help if questions indicate which core edition is being addressed. In 4 weeks time a seperate Legacy Core 1 forum will be created exclusively for Core 1 questions. So that support is still available.

Enjoy the new core edition folks and don't forget to help each other out in the forums!

Simply use Bittorrent it's more efficient.

Here are a couple of mirrors, that are complete:

ftp://redhat.secsup.org/pub/linux/r...ore/2/i386/iso/
ftp://ftp.crihan.fr/mirrors/fedora....ore/2/i386/iso/
ftp://ultra.linux.cz/pub/fedora/2/i386/iso/

They all have the dvd iso, and also the normal cd ones.

Direct BT download link:

http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/tettnang-i386-DVD.torrent <-- i386 version

http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/tettn..._64-DVD.torrent <-- x86_64 version

I can't find the iso's @
ftp://ftp.dc.aleron.net/pub/linux/fedora/linux/core/


Never Mind...

You have to go into the Core 2 Folder and then into an ISO one.

Due to the firewall I'm behind, I can't go to FTP sites so I can't tell you exactly. But thats where i saw it on HTTP mirrors.

I see there now is a FC2-i386-rescuecd.iso, do any of you know just what this is?

[Ug]

Not really - but I expect we'll find out soon.

Forget bittorrent. I got a ratio of ~50 atm...

Since all (active) German mirrors are pathetically jammed, i gave the 'Torrent' a try:

Seems it was well worth it! :-)

NOT 100% sure here but I mounted the rescuecd.iso using daemon tools, searched the readme and release notes for "rescue" and came up with this:

Memory testing may be performed prior to installing Fedora Core by entering memtest86 at the boot: prompt. This causes the Memtest86 standalone memory testing software to run. Memtest86 memory testing continues until the Esc key is pressed.

NOTE: You must boot from CD-ROM 1 (or a rescue CD-ROM) in order to use this feature.

Nonetheless I assume it's a bootable CD for booting up a non-bootable system for - you guessed it, rescuing a system.

BTW I installed FC2 just fine without having to use this disk.

I wonder why not use CD1 as the rescue disk? Perhaps this rescue CD has more features?

[Netsplite]

Mayb because the rescue cd is smaller to download?
