RC of the Fedora 7 Live image set (i686, x86_64, i686 KDE and x86_64
KDE) are now available at http://torrent.fedoraproject.org.
Note that the i686 images require an i686 class machine and should be
able to be burned on 700 meg CD images.
The x86_64 images are more intended for DVD media, but brave souls may
get away with the extended CD formats :-)
Thanks for your testing help!

Downloaded and tested the i386 live cd (did not find anything labeled i686).
Everything worked that I tested in the live cd session. Installed to
an existing partition that I told it to format, and booted to it. The
install and first boot seemed to work fine. The one error I got on
login was that pup claimed I was not receiving updates. I suspect
that is normal.
All looks great from here.

Yeah, there is no updates dir yet :-)

Will there still be changes to the distribution before release?

Jeremy,
Would it be possible to provide jigdo files describing both the live and
release candidate spins. Along with a lot of testers, I'm likely to
already have about 90% or more of the files that are included on either
testing media from local development repos or previous iso downloads. If
that is the case, then it's a huge waste of bandwidth even from our
community of torrent sharers.
I expect that you might not want to include fedora actual sites as a
download sources {for bw reasons}. You could provide an empty
[Servers] section with an indicator of:
# Please enter the path to your already downloaded files:
# iso images: your older mounted iso image:
# -mount it with a command like:
# mount -o loop /home/fedora/7test4/F-6.93-i386-DVD.iso\
# /home/fedora/7test4/disc
fedora=file://home/fedora/7test4/disc
# written iso media {following is fake path}
fedora=file://media/fedora-7t4/Fedora
# your downloaded development files
fedora=file://home/download/development/os/Fedora/
# your own isp's download mirror
fedora=http://my-own-isp/fedora/location...
The tester will need to modify the server section, or we could come up
with a preferred download / mirroring location for testers machines so
that it 'just works' [good luck ;-) ]
ps. if Fedora project people can't do it perhaps a tester who has been
able to download isos already could run the jigsaw download creator, and
post the template and jigdo files somewhere... The jigdo might only be
about 1MB, while the templates might be around 50MB {and might be better
shared as torrent} when compared to both the amount of data to be sent
with a torrent or the original download.
fedoraunity provide a helper page at:

I noticed the template files for fedoraunity respins are actually around
255MB for both a single cd and the dvd, not exactly small.

For the Live spin it won't help much. There is only a couple files on the iso
media itself, the majority of the size being just one file. For the
installer spin we might be looking into experimenting with Jigdo during F8
development, but not something we want to try and do for Fedora 7.
