Hi, Fedora 12 can be downloaded from the following location. http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/ Very Old Versions http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/ Fedora 13 has moved to "free desktop" (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/). If you can mention the exact problems, probably we can help you out Thanks Viji On Mon, Oct 18, 2010 at 7:31 PM, Chris Rouch <chris.rouch@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On 8 October 2010 00:07, Bill Davidsen <davidsen@xxxxxxx> wrote: >> Beartooth wrote: >>> >>> Every download site I've tried -- several, especially >>> fedoraproject ones -- comes up on a search for F12, but the minute I >>> click on a link, it sneaks in F13. >>> >>> This is offensive. >>> >>> How do override it?
