try the yesterdays created FC2 release torrents on SuperNova.org

qwijibow 05-18-2004 07:23 AM

im doing an FTP install.
plus, i only get about 1kbps on bit torrent, compared to 70bkps ftp.

and yeah, they did push it hack a day, release date used to be monday, now its tuesday.
so i suppose i will be given ftp access some time today.

Yeah, same here. i am trying since morning. These people should have atleast announced the delay in release. I am behind a strict firewall so i guess i'll have to wait till they release a downloadable version :(

your firewall blocks FTP and HTTP...... ?

lol, get your network manager to drink less coffee !!!!

i tried a network install.... although a network install only requires a 1 gig download (and the iso add up to 2.sumthing) i ended up doing an iso download.

problems with the network install.....
1) it was at first unlear what to answer to the question...|. what folder on the server is Fedora installed.|
eventually discovered it needs /blah/blah/blah/fdeora/linux/core/2/i386/os

2)all the mirrirs had an imcomplete tree.... they missed a file called stage2.img which seems to only be needed for network install. FORCING me to use the main download.fedora.redhat.com http server, which was seriously lagged as you can imagine.

so now im doing a hard disk install.
(burn bootdisk.iso to a cd. boot it with the command "linux asmmethod" and selecting "hard disk install" and the path to the downloaded iso's)

im just checking the MD5's at the moment. maybe il have a funning fedora core 2 withing the hour.
