Install Fedora 9 on a laptop with a broken DVD drive

How do i install Fedora 9 on a laptop with a broken DVD drive?

You can do a network install from a mirror sight or you can d/l and burn the cd's (need 6 of them).
I use Mandriva and can do a internet install from a mirror d/l and I found it MUCCH Easier and faster than Microshaft stuff.

To do a network install. burn this file to cd or put it on a flashdrive.

Install a Bit torrent client on fedora 9

How do i install a Bit torrent client on fedora 9?

You could also try bittorrent

su -c 'yum install bittorrent bittorrent-gui'


There are quite a few BitTorrent clients available in the Fedora repositories. One of the newest is Transmission, which offers some of the most useful features of the highly-regarded Azureus client (including PEX - peer exchange of information traditionally sent through the tracker), but is a native binary and does not require Java. It is has a lightweight design and a sleek but informative user interface -- definitely worth checking out!

Installing from the command line: yum install transmission
Installing using the graphical installer: Applications > Graphical Internet > transmission
Menu location after installation: > Applications > Internet > Transmission
Command: /usr/bin/transmission-gtk

Install linux fedora on a i586 system

How do i install linux fedora on a i586 system?

Don't use the live CD method. Burn the cd set from one of the spins or use the network cd method.
You will need to find a server with the distribution tree for the release you chose.

Try the fedora forums for help first.
