1. I found it to be quite buggy; one of the bugs was very severe, as it caused the creation of corrupted users.
   I always had problems with Fedora[s], I don’t suggest it.

2. Only a note: I noticed about Fedora 8 is not coming with Gnome 2.18, but Gnome 2.20.

3. E_T

   thanks for update

4. Any way to get Fedora 8 in smaller iso images so I can burn it to cds? I don’t have a DVD burner.

5. i just have downloaded fedora 8 live-cd, and tried to boot and run, everything works fine until it finished to mount and my Axioo notebook screen goes blank and everything seems to stop then. I don’t know if is caused by my Axioo but any help would be very great… thanks in advance

6. I find absolute no bugs after installing on over more then 30 totally different desktop and laptop systems. This is the best release of fedora I have ever seen. The advancements are incredible. I was on ubuntu and now with fedora 8. I would have say fedora is best destro out today. FEDORA 8 FTW

7. Thanks for the Download.

8. Mobo – ASUS A8N-VM
   AMD – Athlon64 3000+
   HD – ATA 40G
   Installer – F8 dvd 86_64
   Fresh installation

   Tried couple times. The PC hung on “load amd pata driver”. I posted on CentOS/RHEL/Fedora, Subject:”Is it the problem of installer? OR something else. How to get through?” Up to now there is no reply. I have another SATA HD on this PC running F7 for sometimes w/o problem.

   I’m now downloand F8 DVD i386 iso. I’ll test it after burning it on DVD.

9. loaded fedora 8 onto IBM R31, mounted but cannot get it to log in.. just hangs..

10. I want to linux for the perpose of education

11. I installed Fedora 8 on my Toshiba MX 35 Satellite notebook. After the installation(Which ran through for about 30mins successfully), the notebook now abruplty switches off after 2-3 mins of power on. This happens only with Fedora 8. When I reverted back to my UBUNTU, the problem was not their.

    One of the CD ROMs for my laptop is not present. I suspect there is some hardware interrrupt which is causing the power off in the notebook with Fedora8.

12. can you just put the iso on a flashdrive?

13. space_eyes,

    No you can’t; use special script or other method to boot from USB device.

14. i have download fedora 8 ,…….. but there are two .iso ,…. plz which is fedora 8 and i can burn into dvd………..????

15. hehe, i personally dislike anything which is from RH, be it RHEL, Centos, FCX, other derivs/clones. no matter what? i keep fighting and ranting for debian/linuxfromscratch in freenode/efnet/oftc networks. 😀 even if i got nice close redhat friends from pune.
    debian or slack or if you like NONE? do it the hardway. LFS. i preffer LFS. its like you make your own rubber condom, after all you know the usage size isnt it?

    space_eyes,

    short answer NO, long answer, YES, but after you change a few sections. USB load of ISO mode as cdrom, requires a BIOS setting as identify it as a cdrom USB drive. and second? USB CDROM usage would require you to use UDF mode, plus the bits transfer i.e. IO from /dev/sdaX -> /dev/harddrive (SATA/ATA/PATA/SCSI)? man you nuts? you want to pass 2 lts of water which is sent from a 2 mm pipe suction point and then spill it from a 50 mm pipe end? wont work so much. i am lazy. i preffer the old conventional netinstall. 😀 or dump the image in hdd and make a min install set cd/floppy and boot off image from the hdd and install.
    besides USB sticks are slow 40 mb read vs 22 mb write against a high 230 mb cd speed? ermmmmmm

17. To try i need this application…..

18. having read everything written by others so far fedora doesn’t seem to receive good reviews but i had no problems using it. U need to be a bit persistant with ur efforts

19. i had fedora 8 and it ran perfect with grub installed but never delete the partition unless you want to screw your system. And learn all the grub commands.

    BUT FEDORA 8 IS BY FAR THE BEST LINUX OUT THERE RIGHT NOW

20. Yeah, thanks FC community.
    My setup works perfectly. I think i have confused about ISO image file. I shouldn’t have decomposed the ISO image file before burning the ISO image file to DVD. I should have had Nero just map the ISO image file to DVD.
    It’s worth more than 1 day to wrestle my FC-8 setup. Anyway, thanks everybody.

21. Can run snort2.8.1 on fedora 8 ?

22. The below ISO image does not contain the RPM for the DHCP Server configuration.

23. What is the difference between 32 and 64 bit ?I am confused which one will I download.Which one will be suitable.THx

24. Please tell me how to access windows-xp drives in FEDORA.I want windows drives to be visible as icons in FEDORA please……….

29. thak you very much.

30. I’ve never bothered to comment on these sites do to my not feeling that I knew anything of any use to those who already are used to using the Fedora system. But, after I have been seeing some of the comments about the FC8 system, I felt that maybe I could be of some help to at least one person (newbie)!
    I have downloaded the (Werewolf) distro: When I did my download, I used the Burn4Free. Then used the BURN ISO IMAGE option. It worked just fine. Later on, I did another burn using the K3D software from Linux. Again, I First used the DVD choice to burn the ISO image. Then chose the BURN ISO image. It did all the work for you basically. Since then, I have done at least 6 installs with my “Werewolf” distribution and everything works just fine. Even when I do add-ons or updates, or, non-distro add ons. It hasn’t let me down yet! I hope this can help someone who may be having trouble.
    NOTE: So far, I have found that the few I knew that had trouble, was do to the burn itself being a bad burn, or should I even dare to say, it was just done as a copy instead of burn!

31. Hi,
