Check the size of your download, it most likely is larger than a CD (700mb)
A 32 bit version of Fedora 18 is 805 mb .
Oh it is. It is 960.5mb. It obviously won't fit on a CD. My question
is: Did I miss something and there is a a) CD sized live disk download,
b) a way to make one (easily), or c) another way to get the F18 on to my
old machine?
I can't do it over a network because the Old Machine had a broken eth0
and I have installed a new eth1 card. I am trying to get the eth1 card
working which is why I thought I would upgrade my OS first.
