I want to download a FC4 release. I have three options for download
from a web:
Fedora Core 4 Release binary iso images for i386.
Fedora Core 4 Release source iso images for i386.
Fedora Core 4 Release DVD iso image for i386.
What are the differences and advanatges of the three types of
downloads:
binary iso images
DVD iso image
source iso images
Source ISO images contain the SRPM's for building the software from the
distribution. It takes about 4 CD's for all of these for FC4.
Binary ISO's contain the actual OS installers, and the RPM packages for the
actual software. Ot tales abpit 4 CD's for all of these for FC4. These are
the standard installation media.
Binary DVD's stuff the while binary, or binary and source, on a single DVD
image. These are almost identical to the CD's, but you don't have to do any
swapping and it's easier to build a kickstart network setup from these. But
not as many people have DVD burners or hardware that will boot from DVD.
Does that make sense?
