Re: [OVC-demo-team] Anyone have install difficulty with Fedora Core 1?

Hi David,

I installed Fedora core 1 from the Yarrow distribution CDs while I was
at Alan's house. I've posted the ISOs for the CDs I used to my home
server:

        http://fredmclain.com/mclain/fedora

Note that download will be slow. I've only a DSL connection here so my
up speed will be 256 kb or less. The server is however very stable (RH
8) and you should be able to run the download for as long as it takes.
I recommend you use wget for this.
