Is there such a thing as a fresh install of Fedora or must we install RH x.x
then upgrade?
I went to the Fedora page and didn't find any ISO's for a fresh install
(format and install). But then, I didn't find ISO's for an upgrade, so that
doesn't mean they (fresh install ISO's) aren't there.
I have a squeaky clean new box (AMD 2200 XP - 85% work station - 15% server
- no internet access) needing an OS. Having read some of the posts here,
thought I would try Fedora.
Does anyone have i386 CD's they would be willing to share, or a URL for
downloading? Fresh install preferred, upgrade acceptable.
