Hey-

I tried to install FC 4 but ran into a problem. All goes well until I am prompted to install disk 2. That disk is not recognized. I know that I burned the cds correctly as ISO images. When I was prompted to check the cds, they all passed. Is there a problem with the downloads from the Fedora website? I don't have a dvd drive to run the dvd, nor do I have another operating system to dual-boot. Would it make any sense to try downloading and installing FC3 and updating from there? I am onlt able to run the i386 because I am running pentium 4. I shouldn't be running the the x86 should I.

Thanks!!!

Have you tried to install from the web directly?

You will do askmethod then your site is:
mirror.cs.wisc.edu

and your path is

/pub/mirrors/linux/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/i386/os/

or you can check the mirrors.

The computer has no access to the internet, b/c it has no OSs installed on it. Whatever I do will likely need to begin by loading an operating system of some sort onto it. Would there be anyway to download something to an external HD and then install from there? I am guessing not... b/c I have know idea how I could access an external HD w/o an operating system. I tried re-downloading the ISOs and nothing changed, still have the cd2 problem. Any reason the download would be different from a mirror site? Is there any way that I could get Fedora running on bare-minimum from the first cd only and then use that installation to access the web and finish the install from there? Should I just go ahead and try loading FC3?

Thanks for the idea Sipsipi

If you have an internet connection around you, then the installer will establish the connection to the internet to do this, trust me, i have done it alot when i have scratched disks, etc.

Installing FC3 is not a problem though, and I think you can use yum to upgrade from there, although i haven't done this before:

maby you should just try downloading disk 2 and re-burning it mate.
