Fedora Core 2 Rescue CD?


Recommended Posts

I've been thinking about trying Fedora core 2, but after some surfing I found this article:

http://www.fedorazine.com/content/view/191/ which is about possible problems in a dual boot install. Now in there it says to get the Fedora Core 2 Rescue CD. Where is this available from? ANd has any one else had any issuses with windows not booting after installing this? The fix seems somewhat easy (I printed it out, just in case.)

 

 

I have also thought about trying PCLInuxOS preview-7, between the two which offers better multimedia support/ease of multimedia configuration/installion (dvd playback/ streaming audio/ java/etc.)? Also with preview-7, are 9.2 rpms still good? or should I use .tar and compile :wall: ?

Thanks, I will read that. I also got the rescue disk, thanks, and have 3 of 4 disks download.

I have also discovered that core 2 and NVIDIA 3d drivers aren't compatible, how hard is it to install a "nvidia friendly kernel" (which is Offered-but I forget where I saw it :oops: but thats what google is for). Or is there a new nvidia driver looming soon?

After uncompressing some bkup tarballs a reboot to win shows all of hdb to be corrupt :devil: Fedora still boots but...... :juggle: I d/k if this has anything to do with fedora or not :unsure:

 

hda=30GB Maxtor (win98se/xp)

and

hdb=120GB Maxtor(pagefile/xp/xp/2k/data/media/swap/fedora/and more)

 

 

I switched everything over now and will reinstall fedora.

hda=120GB (win98se/xp/pagefile/xp/xp/2k/data/media)

hdb=linux only

 

:juggle::juggle::juggle:

Ok here's the page I found : http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/NVIDIA_dr..._Hat_Linux.html

 

 

It has you go to : http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/...ks.i686.rpm.zip

which is the compliant 8stacks kernel. I haven't installed (Fedora-tonites project) yet but since this is a rpm it may be more my speed than cyberjackle's method. Although, I probally should use Cyberjackles method so I can learn something :juggle: and not be so dependant on rpms.
