not able of booting into rescue mode

[Fernando Lozano]

Angelo, 

Working with CD or DVD images is basically the same. You
download the install DVD from the same place you download the LiveCD and
burn it the same way. Of course you need a DVD drive with write
capability, but I hope your computer is not so old to have only a CD
drive. 

When you enter fedoraproject.org, clik on the "Server" link,
then "Download now". It provides a DVD install iso image, while the
"Workstaion" link on the home page provides a LiveCD image. Also note
the "Other downloads" on the same page: it provides the netinst isos
someone else talked about. Those are much smaller than the DVD images
but provides the rescue option if that's all you need. 

If you need an
older Fedora release, the lastest Fedora Project web site doesn't
provide easy links anymore. But you can copy any of the download links
for the latest release and strip from the file name until the release
number, for example:


http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/21/Server/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Server-DVD-x86_64-21.iso


becomes


http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/ 

Then
you can click on the release number you want and browse until you find
the install or netinst image you want. For example, if you need Fedora
18, you'd click 18/Fedora/x86_64/iso/ to get the DVD and netinst iso
images. 

Please be aware some mirrors won't provide all releases. In
this case, start over from until you get directed to a
http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/ mirrior
that has the release you want. 

If you need a relase that's too old and
most mirrors have already deleted it, go to:

Every Linux boot media can display the prompt, but the commands
available have to be included on the media itself.

commands are not provided by Fedora LiveCDs. So you need to download a
non-liveCD Fedora installation media, boot from it and then use the
prompt.
