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 imageThere was an issue with DVD install on some machines, it works with a
trick I don't remember.
source iso imagesUnless you want to "roll your own" distribution, forget this for now.
And what you didn't ask, FC4 is stable, I've had problems installing FC5
on about half the machines I tried. I believe it involves the ACPI code,
but frankly don't have a need to be cutting edge on stable machines. As a
new user FC4 *may* be a smoother path to a working system.

It will be another learning experience.
