I installed Fedora linux on my computer, and I loved it at first. After a little while, though, I realized I couldn't play any of my music, I couldn't go to certain websites, and installing anything was extremely hard. I had a torrent download I used to get windows 7, but I can't get torrents to work because I can't install anything on Fedora. Can someone post a download link for some kind of torrent and specific instructions on how to do it?
Also, is there any way I could install everything using a thumb drive? DVD-R's and CD's don't work because CD's aren't big enough and DVD's keep showing up an error message.
I didn't even want to get linux. I was gonna download Windows 7 Ultimate but my idiot friend convinced me to download this, and now I can hardly ever start up Firefox or chrome without it crashing.
No, I just need a torrent software. I already had Windows 7 Ultimate, but I can't make it work with linux. Only other way I know is how my friend did it.
I am here volunteering my time. Therefore I may ask if you will do illegal things with my advice. By the way, I have deleted how to do it, and will put you up to my ignore list.
