Browse to the fedora website, follow the download mirrors link, and you end up at: <http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/7/> Pick a mirror, drill down until you see the files I listed previously: Fedora/ 27-May-2007 10:30 - GPL 26-May-2007 02:25 18K RELEASE-NOTES-en_US.html 26-May-2007 02:25 154K RPM-GPG-KEY 27-May-2007 10:40 1.9K RPM-GPG-KEY-beta 27-May-2007 10:40 1.7K RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora 27-May-2007 10:40 1.5K RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-rawhide 27-May-2007 10:40 1.1K RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-test 27-May-2007 10:40 1.1K RPM-GPG-KEY-rawhide 27-May-2007 10:40 1.2K fedora.css 27-May-2007 10:40 2.8K images/ 27-May-2007 10:40 - isolinux/ 27-May-2007 17:22 - repodata/ 27-May-2007 17:22 - stylesheet-images/ 27-May-2007 17:22 - Look at the address in the browser, the domain name is the host (the dotted address between the protocol, http://, and the first slash), the rest of the URI is the folder. For instance, picking on the one at the top of the list: <http://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/fedora/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/> host: ftp.univie.ac.at folder: /systems/linux/fedora/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/ You need to do this before starting the installation, so that you can jot down the details. Perhaps the network install routine could do with including a basic browser, or letting you do some sort of "yum install" incantation, and having it find the details for you. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.1-33.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
