For Fedora $
1. I am attempting to download CDs for installation in a 500M Hz small
[physicall] computer whose MB and bios refuse to accept a DVD reader.
2. I have a copy of Fedora 4 in DVD format which I attempted to install in my
test computer which has a DVD reader in it.
As far as downloads I am having a bitch of a time downloading OpenSuSE 10.0;
their ftp site is running very slow these days. I am getting no where near
the transfer rate I was getting 4 weeks ago.
As for Mandriva 10.0 I don't have a clue what the new download site is yet. It
was changed in the last month from Mandrake to Mandriva but that name change
wasn't all of it. Unfortunately 1/2 their websites links still refer to the
old Mandrake sites. Do work a request for this information is currently being
posted to the Mandrake BB.
