Thanks for that info.... Where I find newer ISOs are nice is in the event of a complete, clean, reinstall....
Periodically I wipe the entire system, and if I can reinstall from ISO images without then having to apply all sorts of updates... well, that just seems "easier". :-)
What I WOULD like is if the /home directory etc were all in a separate partition so when I says "reformat" to do a clean install, all MY stuff is not affected.
There's probably ways to do that, I just want it to be "automatic" when doing a "reformat this all automatically" for me...

I got the ISO images for FCT3 and installed it on two machines....
The laptop install went "OK", but the update utility doesn't work, it hangs during checking dependencies etc.
The desktop install fails miserably.... choking big time with rpmdb fatal errors during the package install.
Question is... are there newer ISO images I can d/l and try again?
Thanks, Don
I can see that every-one wants iso's... Well if you have a DVD-R I can give you the command to generate an ISO from the distribution tree:
cd /$distribution_tree
mkisofs -A Fedora\ Core\ 1/i386 -V Fedora\ Core\ 1/i386 -J -R -v -T -o fedora-core.RC1-i386-DVD.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table .
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/implantisomd5 fedora-core.RC1-i386-DVD.iso
You can use this command to generate a ~2.2GB iso which is excellent for VMWare or DVD-R's...
Ntz...Ntz...Ntz... so impatient... should warn you though that there are absolutely no differences from an updated Severn Test3...
Your choice...
