Gnome(?) live ISOs but no full distribution.

If so where are they?

If not how does one go from FC5/6 to Fedora 7 without a DVD drive?

The live CDs are also installable. Just stick it in, boot to it. If it comes up OK you will find a "install to harddrive" icon on the desktop. Just run this.

It runs anaconda so you should have the full range of upgrade/install options as a normal install (not 100% sure on this though, when I did it I did a fresh install and didn't look to see if there was an upgrade option ?)

As there is only one CD there is of course a reduced set of packages available - But assuming your system has network they are all but a yum install away, so no big deal.

If you are trying to install to a box with no network or DVD drive, well you might have problems and have to try some of the clever work arounds suggested on this list...

I downloaded and tried the Live disc the other day; how necessary is it to have a gig of ram for the install? Most of the machines here are PIII's and the ram max on some are at 700+mb.
