I am thinking of trying this way to install Fedora Core 7. Do y'all recommend this way? Where is a link to install for the minimal boot media installation ISO?
Thanks, Mike

That's how I do it. I put the ISO images on my fileserver, boot off of a CD, and let 'er rip.
Where is a link to install for the minimal boot media installation ISO?
It comes in a directory on the DVD ISO image, which you have to download anyway.

It's the boot.iso file in the images directory on any of the Fedora FTP mirrors. (I'm sure there's a list fo those on the Fedora website.) Burn it to a CD, boot off of it. It'll ask you for the path to an FTP mirror and download the rets from there during installation. That's all you need.

Yes, that is where I get stuck when it asks me for the link and the path to the ftp mirror. I don't know what to type in??? Thanks.

host: download.fedora.redhat.com folder: /pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/${basearch}/os
or you can use the path from a mirror closer to you.

this install method worked flawlessly for me, but it took a while. remember to replace ${basearch} with your architecture (i386, x86_64, etc.)

Anthony, I tried it and it worked up until the installation. Then it gave me an error message saying that a file was corrupt at the very beginning of the installation and recommended trying a different ftp site. Would you be kind enough to give me several host sites and folders to try? Thanks :-)

Try using an HTTP mirror instead of FTP. Maybe it's this bug:

Thanks Alexander, could you give me a few host and folders to try. I do not know what to type in, when it asks for them. I know of the Fedora site that holds the mirrors, I just don't know what information to get to type in when the installation asks for host and folder.

You could try this.
host ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/ folder : pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/Fedora/
Stick ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/Fedora/ into your browser and see if this is what you need/want.

Is your problem that you're looking for a folder with ${basearch} instead of replacing those characters with the base architecture information?
e.g. /pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os
These certainly work: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/ ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/

Browse to the fedora website, follow the download mirrors link, and you end up at: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/7/
Pick a mirror, drill down until you see the files I listed previously:

Look at the address in the browser, the domain name is the host (the dotted address between the protocol, http://, and the first slash), the rest of the URI is the folder.
For instance, picking on the one at the top of the list: http://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/fedora/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/
host: ftp.univie.ac.at folder: /systems/linux/fedora/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/
You need to do this before starting the installation, so that you can jot down the details.
Perhaps the network install routine could do with including a basic browser, or letting you do some sort of "yum install" incantation, and having it find the details for you.
