<div dir="ltr">I've done a number of Fedora 8 and 9 installs and haven't had the problems with the media. To be honest, the problems seem more with downloading and burning Fedora 9 than with Fedora 9 itself. That is, if the ISO doesn't make it to the disk correctly, all bets are off.<br>
<br>I really like Feodra 8. 9 feels like a step in the right direction, but there are some bugs to work out. (I believe that 8 is scheduled for longer support than 9, so I'm fine with 9 having some rough edges.)<br>
<br>Also, its no longer called Core. I think the last "Core" release was 5 or 6. Now its just 8, 9, and in a few months, 10.<br><br>Mike<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 2:43 PM, Larry Daberko <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:larry@daberko.com">larry@daberko.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

NFS. Less painful that way. Although I think my problem may have been<br>
hardware related.<br>
