You can also just use the files on a hard drive, without burning the discs, if you want. You use one disc to boot up, and pick a hard drive as the source for install files. But read the docs for how to do that. > Fedora-11-i386-netinst.iso The above is a small boot disc for starting an installation that gets the packages to be installed using a network instead of a CD. It also offers other options and features. > dO I NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE Fedora-11-i386-DVD.iso ??? Only if you want to run an installation from a DVD. The 6-disc CD installation does the same job. > WHEN I BURN THE CD HOW DO I DO A CHECKSUM You do a checksum test before burning the CDs. That checks that the file you downloaded was okay, in the first place. You can also do a test of the CDs after you burn them, but that sometimes fails (the test fails on good CDs). The installation process will offer to test your discs before the installation actually starts. http://fedoraproject.org/en/verify http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/ -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
