I wasn't able to find a page which gave me some info about what each disc actually contains. Are all 4 disc necessary to be able to install Fedora? Since the distribution is 4 disc big in total, providing this info might reduce the amount of downloads if not all disc are realy necessary.
They're not, but it's often hard to guess exactly which packages will be on which disk. I'd suggest doing an FTP or HTTP install -- you only have to download fedora/core/3/i386/os/images/boot.iso (4.9M), start the install, and then from within the installer pick what packages you want.
There is no obvious location on the site with support info. I'm not even sure this mailing list is the one I should send this stuff to. A page with at least mailing list info would be handy to have.
This is It. I think the web page doesn't mention support because it wants to emphasize that RH doesn't offer any at all (for a very specific definition of "any at all"). But you're right; this could be more clear.
At this stage there aren't any docs available about how to install/use Fedora, only docs about how to write docs, am I right? This was a bit confusing to me.
Pretty much. :)
