Where are the Fedora 8 binary and source packages

[Terry Barnaby]

The Fedora 8 binary and source packages seem to have gone from
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/

Have they been moved elsewhere ?
I need the sources for some packages to do some mods to some
Fedora 8 systems ...

Cheers

I notice the older stuff has now disappeared from there. Is anyone keeping the 
previous releases?

All seems there to me - FC1-6 are under linux/core, not releases.

are you looking for individual packages, source packages, or iso?

individual packages are to be found in;

http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/8/Eve...

if you want iso, i will have to look back in my histories, but i do have
a location. i am still running an f8 install for local use and do add to it from
time to time.

Fedora 8 is no longer supported, so they have been removed from the mirrors.
As others have pointed out, the files are available from an archive server,
but they are no longer updated in any way.

Time to upgrade to Fedora 10! (Skip Fedora 9, its end of life is also coming
soon.)

Will do as soon as someone fixes the X server to soft boot multiple cards 
properly ...
