How to get f 12 -- *t*w*e*l*v*e*, twelve???

[Viji V Nair]

Hi,

Fedora 12 can be downloaded from the following location.
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/

Very Old Versions
http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/

Fedora 13 has moved to "free desktop"
(http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/). If you can mention the exact
problems, probably we can help you out

Thanks
Viji
