  8. I went to the mirror list and cannot find cdrom images, just dvd-rom images.

    I don’t have a dvd drive in my laptop, so am I out of luck?

    FC6 had cdrom images…looking for the same for Fedora 7

  22. No CD iso files were released for Fedora 7 except for the live CD and the rescue CD. If you only have a CDROM drive, live CD is the way to go. Boot and then install in your hard drive. Another option is to download the DVD iso and extract all the content into a web shared directory (in another computer). The boot from the rescue CD and specify that you prefer HTTP installation (Network installation). You will be asked to specify the web server name and the directory which contain all the files you extracted from the DVD.

  24. Hi Bharat,

    Don’t go for Network install if you are unaware of the above steps. The easiest way to get the Fedora 7 Live CD. Boot from the CD and you will see an icon in the desktop to install the CD content in your computer. Live CD contains a fair amount of software which will in most of the cases will be sufficient for you.

    Once installed using the Live CD, then you can boot the system without the CD. If you need additional software, Click on “Applications” and select “Add/Remove Software”.

    Regards,
    Kamal
