     Dear friends,

  I was planning to install F8 the same way I installed F7: Burn a
rescue disk on CD-R and then use it to install over the net. I can
burn CDs but not DVDs and I thought why burn several CDs if one is
enough (and I could not find a set of F8 installation CDs either).

  But, I can not find an image for a F8 rescue CD. Where is it? Or do
I use the Live CD?

  I checked the F-Project site, tried Google and browsed through old
mails from this list, but could not find a link.

  Thanks!

     Take care
     Oliver


The rescue disc is included with the F8 DVD torrent. Since I torrent all my Fedora media, that's all I can say for certain.

If I recall correctly, I normally download the "boot.iso" image from mirror (and arcitecture) of choice eg
http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/Fedora/releases/8/Fedora/i386/os/images/boot.iso

burn a CD, boot into the installer and proceed with installation over the net.

Lot quicker to download the boot image rather than the rescue disc (which is at :
http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/Fedora/releases/8/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-8-i386-rescuecd.iso)

I actually find its better to download the DVD image with bittorent, verify it, extract it into a web server directory on another machine on the LAN, grab the boot.iso, burn a boot CD and then do the install from the local HTTP source ... much quicker, less likley to time out and less onerous on the mirrors.
