Interesting, that was the first time I was able to get into the core server without being denied permission or the server being full. I can't seem to find the iso images, though. How does Fedora's up2date program work? Could I just get Core 2-test 3 and update it to the stable packages?

Here (http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/1.92/i386/iso/)
are the iso's. That other server directory was just for rpm's, I believe.

Here (gatech) (ftp://ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/fedora.redhat/linux/core/test/1.92/i386/iso/) is a mirror that is usually not too busy (for US East)

Thanks. I'm not sure if the stable core 2 isos were actually released yet. I think they just put the RPMs on the mirrors, it seems. I'll just wait till tomorrow when it's announced officially and is available with bittorrent.

cool, i'll have to check the .iso's out. elitewhiteghost, do you think this will be an easy install like gentoo is?

red hat's install is far easier than gentoo's (for newbies at least). Red hat uses a program called anaconda which gives you your nice graphical front end and makes it all easy and what not.

gentoo uses a command line interface (like dos or bash or what not) and has you follow a document that is fairly easy to understand and follow (assuming you use genkernel).
