[Luna] trying to install red hat on a used computer, and having problems

[Kyle Winfree]

Hi Anne,
I assume you're following a link like 
http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora. I recommend use of a torrent, 
since that checks things for you. If I remember right, Fedora 8 was 
about 3 gb, maybe more, but definitely note more than 4.7gb.
I think linux cloning a dvd/cd should give you a real clone, but windows 
may not copy it as you desire.
I'll be in Flag next week and could drop off a copy of Fedora 8 or 9 
given that you contact me before I head to the airport later this week.
Cheers,
Kyle

Remember, anything you dream is possible,
given that you care not who gets the credit.
