Minimum Hardware Requirement for Fedora 4


Hi

In my home i have Pentium III 800 Mhz computer
with 256 MB RAM and VIA chipset mother board and
40 GB harddisk.

I have Linux 9.0 in my PC. Now i want to install
Fedora Core 4.For that i have downloded it from internet,4 CD's and one rescue disk.

Now my question is ---

1. What is minium hardware requirement for Fedora
Core 4?
2. I found 4 cd's of Fedora in iso image format
after downloading from internet.Now how should
I write them in CD.
a> Just in simple data CD fromat or
b> in any other format.
3. Is the installation process is same as previous
versions of Linux.If not where could i found
details of installation process.

Thank you

from
Manas

1) 400 MHz Pentium II or better is recommended from the fedora website
2) ISO images have to be written to a CD in a special way, not as a data CD. If you have K3b installed, run that and under tools go to CD then click burn CD Image. Under Image to Burn click on the folder and locate your ISO image, it will automatically check the MD5Sum and then you can burn you image file. Repeat that for each ISO image file.
3) The installation process should be similar to Red Hat 9, not exactly the same though (I've never installed Red Hat 9, but I assume they have a similiar installation process)
