Updated FC4 install disk(s)?

[David Niemi]

A few months ago there were some messages about an updated version of
the install CDs or the DVD, is this still available from someone's site
or on bittorent?

The June FC4 CDs/DVD do not have adequate support for my motherboard
(Biostar TForce 6100-939) with the nForce-4 chipset so the on-board
network card (RTL8201BL/RTL8201CL) and other things aren't found. FC5-T1
just keeps rebooting after the install too fast to see what the problem
is and I've tried many of the kernel options.

SUSE 10 works great though but I'd rather run Fedora.  I'll probably try
FC5-T2 next week if I can't get FC4 installed.

Agreed, I could download all of the base, updates, and extras with SUSE
then do a local yum update with the hobbled FC4 and see if that works.

Thanks for the information / suggestions.

I think you're looking for http://fedora.isphuset.no/

Thanks, seems that no-one has it as a torrent though, going to take ~8
days to download... :(

Then what is:
	http://fedora.isphuset.no/FC4.2-Unofficial-i386.torrent

My machine is helping by seeding this torrent (indefinitely)....

Are you actually getting any traffic, Kevin?  If so, I'll restart my 
seeder too.  I'd shut it down for security reasons when the dl count 
stayed at 472 megabytes for 3 days running.  I have to go cut some 
holes in iptables & do some port forwarding in the router.

Its been sporadic, but I do see traffic from time to time.  Not as much
as on my FC4 and FC5-testX torrents though, not by a long shot.  I plan
to discontinue it tomorrow after FC5 is officially released (along with
my FC4 and FC5-test3 torrents).

I've had a couple of seeders running here, and the one that blows me 
away is Ubuntu-5.10.  I started it about 10 days ago, and have already 
seeded 10.14GB of that disk.  I intend to do the same with FC5 when I 
can find the torrent file and it will be cool to compare the traffic 
after another 10 days or so. I should get the dvd's too I suppose, but 
that means I'd have to get me a couple of dvd readers for my other 
boxes.  Ouch.
