Re: Fedora 9 is out said by graysonf:If the pain associated with a disappointing six CD set isn't enough for you, try the 'Everything' 24 CD release.  This distribution model needs to die. The only time I ever see using this is when I have a sudden need to reinstall Fedora in the middle of the arctic wilderness; and I'm sure that I'll have forgotten to bring all 24 CDs. Maybe I could put them all on one blu-ray disc?
From my experience, installing a linux distro without high speed access is a corner case, certainly not something that needs to be the focus of the installation infrastructure.
How has Fedora not woken up and smelled the "50 MB netinst image" model? |

How has Fedora not woken up and smelled the "50 MB netinst image" model? Well this wasn't their distribution model, but it's back by demand. For Fedora 8 there was only single disc Live CDs that were installable, and single install only DVDs, plus net install. There was such an outcry for full CD sets, they brought them back for Fedora 9. Why people think they need every package on CDs is beyond me.

The working Nvidia drivers are out now.
The following shows how to load them:

These seem to load ok, but I have not done any extensive testing so your mileage may vary. |

Bedford, MA | There was a recent Fedora 8 kernel update with a comment, if I remember correctly, that it was syncing with Fedora 9. This kernel needs the new Nvidia drivers (the older ones won't compile). |
