hey, i'm currently running fedora core 2 (which i love by the way), and here's what i did to get here. i went to linuxiso.org , spent about 70 minutes downloading the 4 discs, about another 5 to 10 minutes a piece burning all 4 isos, and 70 minutes installing EVERY package fc2 included (even though i don't use most of them, i wanted them for research purposes) before that my computer was configured to double-boot xp (for work- i work for a pc tech support company) and red hat 9. i downloaded the 4 cds in red hat 9, and burned them using cdrecord at 8x.
