I'm trying to get Fedora 7 Test 2 from http mirrors (I'm inside my

a no go) .. but all of them that i've checked and have the F7T2 DVD
does not reply the size of the file in the request thus making
resuming not working - bad for unstable internet .. and
download.redhat.fedora.com does not host the Prime DVD ..
However, I do have a mirror of the development and extras-development
repository in my server in the LAN (mirrored together with the core,
updates,extras and livna repos - for use by me and my friends) .. Is
there any way for me to generate the installation DVD from that
mirror?? .. upgrading through yum is dependency hell considering I'm
using 3rd party repo ..
Or anybody have a better suggestion besides this?
You might try to download using wget with the ftp location link. I am
trying it now and it seems to be working.
This might be a jumbled output copied from the terminal but basically, I
am using the link that was posted in earlier parts of the thread.
Also, I have development installed already and tried to use punji but
only ended up with the directories and no iso image. It looks like a
pretty decent program otherwise and the configuration file is not too
difficult to make the needed changes for customizing for your system.
Pasted wget info from gnome-terminal.
