Andrew Preater I do not remember Fedora Core releases because I only tried FC2 and did not like it. But with other releases (from Red Hat and CentOS), you need most of the CDs (not the SRPMS ones, and not the extras and not the documentation -- although I prefer to load the documentation). I would suggest to the OP that he download and burn these:
FC4-i386-disc1.iso 06-Jun-2005 22:54 635M FC4-i386-disc2.iso 06-Jun-2005 22:55 638M FC4-i386-disc3.iso 06-Jun-2005 22:56 638M FC4-i386-disc4.iso 06-Jun-2005 22:57 630M
and maybe this one since it is so small:
I wonder when this madness started? Mayayana says it's the same for SUSE, you'll need all of the CDs for installation. I haven't looked at the Red Hat installer since...

Unless something has radically changed, he will probably want most, if not all, of the first four. For example, here is all that is on the first CD-ROM of RHEL 3 ES: Not enough to do anything with -- not even a kernel.

So I infer it is a .iso. I think they have their own reasons for not having a .iso on their web site; I do not believe they support open source for their products. ;-) Was that your point?
