Im think someone mentioned a net install already in this discussion; have you tried that for FC4? I know you dont have a FC4 CD, but since your attempting to dload CDs I assume you have a CD burner, so try this:
On the PC with the burner, pop in the DVD, find the boot.iso (itll be in the /images dir, and its 6.4 M). Burn that to a CD, boot it up, and use it to and do a net
install, either from an FTP or HTTP server. Ive provided a link to that boot.iso as well that I have on my YAM server. Id offer to open that up to ya to do the
net install, but Im on RR and the upload so sucks....still wish they hade FIOS in apartments.
Anyways, that should get FC4 going for ya, its how I do it on all my machines, just using a local server instead of a remote one. Hope this helps.
