Hi, amazing! I am also thinking about installing fedora core 4 from a DVD. I looked at fedora site and according to it there should be FC4-i386-DVD.iso somewhere. But I followed the download link and I saw there only disc1-disc4 iso images (no DVD), I am talking about: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/i386/iso the same also in the mirrors, for example: ftp://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/i386/iso/ So where is the DVD (FC4-i386-DVD.iso) ? Am i missing something ? should I try to enter some gibrish somewhere ...? tia, Amir Binyamini >From: Dvir Volk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] >CC: IL List <linux-il@linux.org.il> >Subject: Re: [Fwd: Re: Fedora Core 4 DVD version] >Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2005 02:46:40 +0300 > >I've had this problem too (i think it has something to do with certain SATA >controllers), and the solution is profoundly bizarre and dumb, but it >worked for me, and for many others: >1. load the CD/DVD >2. when the first boot menu appears, DO NOT press Enter or type any valid >kernel name (like "linux text"/"linux rescue") >** just type in some random gibberish, e.g. "f45vtg4", and then press enter >**. >3. you will be prompted by a message that says something like "no such >kernel image" or something. >4.
