Hello For all those who bought IC Chip and got the corrupted ISO for FC 5 (second CD I think), here is a solution, posted by a user - sans_india85 - in their forum (They will ship the second iso with July issue too)
Best Regards Din. Hi, The Fedora Core 5 which was provided on May 2006 DVD has an invalid .ISO file i,e FC5i386disc2.iso which prevents from sucessful installation. http://chip-india.com/townsquare/viewtopic.php?t=11784 The .ISO problem can be fixed by downloading 2 piece files of size 448KB only. You can follow the below steps to fix the ISO file STEP 1: Download Utorrent 1.5 http://www.utorrent.com/download/1.5/utorrent.exe Install the client after downloading. STEP 2: Create a folder by name bordeaux-binary-i386 on your hard disk.The partition should have atleast 3.5GB free hard disk space STEP 3: Copy all the Fedora Core 5 .ISO files to the folder bordeaux-binary-i386 The files are: FC5i386disc1.iso FC5i386disc2.iso FC5i386disc3.iso FC5i386disc4.iso FC5i386disc5.iso FC5i386rescuecd.iso STEP 4: Rename the .iso files in the folder bordeaux-binary-i386 as said below. Rename FC5i386disc1.iso to FC-5-i386-disc1.iso Rename FC5i386disc2.iso to FC-5-i386-disc2.iso Rename FC5i386disc3.iso to FC-5-i386-disc3.iso Rename FC5i386disc4.iso to FC-5-i386-disc4.iso Rename FC5i386disc5.iso to FC-5-i386-disc5.iso Rename FC5i386rescuecd.iso to FC-5-i386-rescuecd.iso STEP 4: Download the torrent file from below URL. http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents/bordeaux-binary-i386.torrent Open bordeaux-binary-i386.torrent with Utorrent.Refer STEP 1. Than Utorrent will ask you the location to save the files. Now locate the location for the folder bordeaux-binary-i386 on your hard disk as said in the below example. For Example: If the folder location of bordeaux-binary-i386 is c:\linux FC5\bordeaux-binary-i386 then enter c:\linux FC5 in the Save As filed of Utorrent. Utorrent hash checks the files automatically and downloads the missing files.There are only 2 missing files i,e of total size 448KB. After the 448KB pice files are downloaded then you will have a complete Valid Fedora Core 5 CD2 ISO file. Regards, Sans. Link at : http://www.chip-india.com/townsquare/viewtopic.php?t=11919 .
