[It did not work - I used the KDE-4 Live CD - but that is a separate issue.] By "full Fedora-8" I mean of course the system one would get by installing from the Fedora-8 DVD. I don't see how this could be squashed onto the Live CD. In any case, I was given no choice of what packages I wanted to install when I clicked on the Install button. I assume that a small subset of the packages on the Fedora DVD were included. I guess that one could first install that, and then use this to install from the Fedora DVD. My question was: Is there a more direct way of doing this? I'm actually going to try first to install over the net with PXEboot. If that doesn't work I'll try installing the old KDE-3.5 Live CD, and install the DVD from that. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
