markwolfe Veteran Posted November 8, 2004 Veteran Share Posted November 8, 2004 I am going now to burn the DVD ISO.Which install is faster CD Iso or DVD iso 584886594[/snapback] If you can put the .iso file(s) on a drive or partition that is FAT or ext2/3 formatted, then the 'from hard drive' installation is much faster. :yes: Other than that, it would purely depend on your data transfer rates for your CD vs. DVD.

b3ta Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 So far I've been using FC3 for 40 minutes - it's totally awesome and no problems with detecting configurations etc. Downloaded it from netcraft.com.au at just over 290kb/sec (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you provide a link that details how to do this "from hard drive" installation method? TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude2425 Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Hmmph.

Go to a cmd prompt (windoze box) and run ipconfig and make sure that IP matches the one you have configured in your router settings. Help with router config.

I saw you are from M?xico like me:whistle:: 584895394[/snapback] I Study @ Monterrey Tech (mejor conocido como tec de monterrey) Monterrey Campus, With Ethernet cable I have reached almost 2 MB, I was using a Download Manager late at night ( no people slowing down the connection) and of course very very near to the wireless antenna:pp I know that maybe this is not the place to post it but during the installation Disk Druid Refused to automatic partition my disk, it complaned about the disk not being primary but when I installed FC2 I had no problems, also my ethernet is broken:ss Its a Cnet Pro200 (It uses tulip driver on linux), FC2 flawlwsly connected using DHCP, now it just Fails to bring up eth0, I also tried using an static IP from my static IP range theat my router allows and didn't help either, also it complains about ACPI on my BIOS, FC2 never did that, :(( I think I might go back to go back to FC2, It must be that my hardware is somewhat old, P3 with old Via apollo pro chipset,:(( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FC1 to FC2 is more difficult, as they have a different series of kernel, and you would have to manually upgrade your kernel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
