Fedora Core 4 Installation Guide
ogo writes "The Fedora Documentation Project recently announced that the first Installation Guide for Fedora Core is available. It is specifically for Fedora Core 4, which will be released publicly on June 13, and x86 hardware."
This is a good sign on behalf of both Fedora core, and the Linux community in general. Where previously installing and simple operaton were cited by anti-Linux users as negatives, now these attributes rank as extremely good advantages. If Linux in general keeps up the direction and momentum, there will continue to be less and less reasons that it is not as good as alternatives. Fedora: I salute you.
On Friday night I managed to find an FTP server where the admin hadn't secured the Fedora Core 4 directory. Grabbed the four ISOs and by Saturday afternoon, I was enjoying a fresh FC4 installation.
I've got a fever and the only prescription is more COBOL.
Fedora's switching to Intel too!

HA HA! That's fucking pathetic. I'm all for both installing Linux and tinkering with hardware but, honestly, Friday night? Get a fucking life. Of course, I'm directing this message at someone who's never tasted pussy so it's a bit meaningless to you. You think your Friday night was a lot of fun and had a lot of meaning. Well, fuck you and shove a big dick up your ass you fucking moron.
By the way, on discussion boards, people don't give a flying shit about your personal anecdotes that lack any useful information. Yes, now I know that you installed FC4 on a Friday night. This gives me no useful information about FC4 and the install process. I hope your house catches fire.

I don't know if this is the real thing, but this torrent alleges to be a copy of Fedora Core 4 snatched from a mirror that accidentally made it downloadable a little early:

Way to go on the install guide, I might have used it years ago when I was lost and confused, not to mention afraid installing linux.
On another note, shouldn't news about Fedora have the Fedora logo next to it, instead of Red Hat? Subtle point, and I don't want to bash Red Hat, they're great, and will be supporting Fedora, but they're not the same thing anymore.

and it really needs a DVD iso ASAP. Doing the CD shuffle is a colossal pain in the arse, especially if you do a custom install with less than everything. I usually do everything the first few times to test it and see what I can break or make work for production, but when it comes to a custom, a DVD is the only way to go.
Disk Druid was already fairly competent as a partition tool, even on multiboot systems so that wasn't hard on the last release.
Mysteriously, the sound system set itself to MUTE so if you didn't hear a test sound during initial config on first boot but it reported successfully finding your hardware, don't panic. Tell it you heard it and troubleshoot after when you get to Gnome.
Can hardly wait to see how long it takes to make this thing collapse in a gibbering heap of endless loops. I hope they've nailed some of the pesky bugs from FC3 and give me a new challenge because I'd use FC every day in my business if just a few problems went away. At least I rate it way higher than Ubuntu or anything else short of Red Hat ES.

I recently went Mac *ducks* and while you dont have massive respositories and things like that. Their package management .app system is by far the best solution.
.app file which nearly eliminates lib version conflicts.
Tracks executables by inode not directory so I can stick my programs wherever I feel like it.
97% of all system libs and such are standard with the OS and available to the coders.
The other 3% of libs and custom code are just packaged into the
While Free is always better OS X has the polish that I wish Linux currently does not have in a number of areas.

I don't have any way of verifying that these are real, but I'm getting them right now.
...then it's still nowhere near what it needs to be. Fix it so no one will ever need it, and then you'll have the right installation program.
Get with it, open source people.

Keep an eye on the RPMs that are part of the Linux NTFS Sourceforge project - they're usually fairly fast at putting up RPMs for new kernel releases.
...loser pathetic are you!
How do I upgrade Fedora Core 3 to Fedora Core 4 using yum or Smart Package manager ?
