Srpms


I am about to download the iso's for fedora core and there are two choices one with SRPMS (FC4-i386-SRPMS-disc1.iso)in the iso file name and one without (FC4-i386-disc1.iso). Anyone have any idea what the difference is? The page with the files does not elaborate.

Thanks,

Matt

You don't need the “SRPMS” (source rpms) iso's to do an installation.

Unlike Debian, you may need all four installation disks, depending on what you plan to install.
