alternative official Fedora Core 1 install media iso images are now available on bittorrent. Please take a look: http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/ DVD ISO: http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/Yarrow-i386-DVD.torrent 2 disk official install set: http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/Yarrow-publisher-i386.torrent These iso images are not being made available through the official download server at this time, due to space and official mirroring policy concerns. But they are official media images, so they can be redistributed under the same conditions as the original 3 cd iso set. The Yarrow-publisher 2 cd set, is intended for publishers who can only fit 2 cds into their books. For example, the book Official Fedora Companion by Nicholas Petreley, Red Hat Press. The release notes in the Yarrow-publisher isos details what has been removed from the standard 3 cd collection. UNOFFICIAL NOTE FROM JEF: I'm now going to express my personal opinion that users should NOT download the publisher-edition to use for installs. I would like to encourage users to continue to use download and use the 3-cd set or the new dvd iso image to ensure they get the full Fedora Core experience. The Publisher-edition is being made available, for completeness, and I'm sure some end-users out there might think the 2-cd set is a shortcut to getting an an install up and going. But please I encourage you to take the time to download the full 3-cd set instead or the dvd image to make sure you get the best possible experience. If you do not have the bandwidth to effectively download the full 3 cd set or the dvd image, please take a look at http://fedora.redhat.com/download/vendors.html and purchase inexpensive install media from the approved vendor list. -jef
