[CentOS] SOT: Can Fedora be installed from Live images?
Maybe world has changed I am not aware and I am still the old fashion way where I download a DVD image and install from there like in CentOS but has Fedora changed something? I mean I am trying to find the proper image for download it put on USB flash memory and install on my PC but all that I can find are "live images" so what happen here? Did I miss something? Can any put me on the right path? Thx in advance *Reynier Perez Mira* Phone: (786) 5807572 EMail: reynierpm at gmail.com

I think nearly all the fedora images are live CDs now. They should have an option to install fedora when you boot the cd. Usually when you boot the cd. A window appears asking to either install the os or try it out. If you are using a non gnome cd,you may have to search the application menu for the installer Hope this helps.

I don't know if that's still true. However, there are also the server and workstation spins. If you are looking for the usual Gnome desktop, you probably want workstation. I usue server, choose minimal install and add things afterwards. The Fedora site itself has the live one by default. Their logic is that the newcomer will have the best chance of success with that one, and the more experienced will go elsewhere. Their site, https://getfedora.org/, shows server and workstation images for download. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6
