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!

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 don't have any way of verifying that these are real, but I'm getting them right now.
Nightmare, I installed it onto my Toshiba M30, it work great! Although i am waiting for the source, as the kernal has NO support for NTFS. Nightmare for me, as i have a partition, with Xp and Fedora core.
I use FC3 - if you need NTFS support just download a custom kernel and tick the NTFS support option before compiling it... if you haven't installed a custom kernel before I suggest you read up on it first though - google will yield plenty of results.

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.

(yeah, I know and use tpb and etree, so don't bother explaining me about legal torrents)
I'll do the stupid thing first and then you shy people follow...
Well if you want to talk about best package management overall, nobody comes close to Aix.
Shouldn't even bother bragging Mac over linux. Cause Aix makes Mac look ordinary. You can even update patches in Aix going from 1 to 2, 2 to 3 etc.
What moron modded me as a troll?
