Fedora Core 3 almost here

I was checking out the Fedora Core mirrors and they're getting ready for Fedora Core 3. Most of them have a /3 directory. Unfortunatly you can't get it early. When you try opening the /3 directory you get an access denied error. Just thought I'd let everyone know that Fedora Core 3 is on schedule.

Fedora Core 3 goes public on Monday.

Any idea when it'll be available via bittorent? If my memory serves me you could get FC2 a day or two before the official release with bittorent.

There was a leak during the FC2 release and that why it was available a bit earlier on bittorrent .. anyway, bittorrent is kind of slow nowadays .. I'll prefer downloading direct from either http or ftp using download manager.

BTW, some of the mirrors have the development directory updated yesterday (11/06/04) and checking the readme inside, it refers itself as Fedora Core 3 instead of the 2.9 something ... I guess by Monday, what they can do is to rename it to 3 and there .. you've it.. but couldn't find the ISOs yet.

FC1 worked nicely on my Tosh Sat Pro 4600.
FC2 doesn't like the wireless card in the laptop (built-in)

I'm 50/50 on installing FC3 and hoping for the best or dropping back to FC1 and knowing fine well it'll work.

Question Are these the released FC3 ISO images?
I found a Fedora mirror in Canada that didn't properly lock down the FC3 directory.
http://gulus.usherbrooke.ca/pub/dist...re/3/i386/iso/

They *appear* to be the final FC3 iso images. The MD5SUM values check out, but I am not sure if its the final version.

Regards,
Ultrajones

Oh darn,

I just downloaded Fedora Core 3 Test 3 a week ago.
There's no difference provided I install all the update stuff? right?
I'm just a bit pissed if there's a huge difference.
