Re: Newbie Help With Fedora 9 installation

Thanks for replying Aldo and Armin.

Yes i am downloading from a windows system. I was downloading to a logical drive with a FAT32 file system... I went through the documentation again.. So i guess that must be the problem.
Apparently downloading to an NTFS filesystem doesn't seem to have that problem.
Will try that.

 I just need a back up copy of the entire dvd anyway.
 so i would have to download the file again.
I 've burnt that corrupted file on 2 DVDs already :)

Thanks for the help, guys.

Are you using bittorrent from a Windows PC?
There may be issues downloading ISO images larger than 2GB.

Try the instructions here and see whether you can install directly from
a fedora web site.
       http://fedorasolved.org/Members/opsec/fedora-netinstall
First download the Rescue CD, which smaller size that a full DVD ISO.

Alternatively, download the CD ISO images directly from here:
      http://fedora.inode.at/fedora/linux/releases/9/Fedora/i386/iso/

HTH, and enjoy using Fedora.

Or you can just download the livecd and install from there, it will give you essentially the same thing, and you don't have to take your time to download a big iso file!
