Hello,
You should be able to download FC5 iso images from "core" directory in
most mirrors[1]. However, Fedora Project no longer release any updates
for FC5 since it has reached its EOL (End of Lifecycle)[2].

Improving the get-fedora page
by Paul W. Frields
I would really love to improve the "get-fedora" static page. Here's a
thumbnail; Toshio told me at FUDCon that this is something that's
eminently obtainable. (I think he actually said something more
typically can-do like "we can do that," but I like using lots of
syllables because it sounds all smart 'n' stuff.)
In short, it would be great to see the page shortened so it fits on a
single average browser page, with a set of plain English questions that
lead the user to the right link for downloading. The questions need not
be two-answer only, but instead elicit the best choice for the user.
I am working on drafting a workflow and questions in:

Strange changes to the wiki
by Mike McGrath
We've made some more changes to our wiki in an effort to gain some
scaling. The basic premise is this.
1) standard load balance between multiple app servers
2) unless you're saving, then just use app1.
This gains us some more HA and it helps spread the load a bit. Today (the
alpha release) saw some higher than normal load, we did make it to /. In
addition to this, something very strange happened with app1 last night, we
believe its an issue in the kernel but its working as expected right now
so we're going to leave it and see if it stays normal, then try to
recreate the issue and file a bug if need be.
Toshio and I have been keeping an eye on things. Please let one of us
know if you notice something that isn't working right.

Get Fedora Page
by Yanis Kekatos
Dear Fedora Project Webmaster,
please make the Get Fedora webpage [
http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora ] more helpful for simple users.
Provide a description for each of the architectures that you support.
"i386" tells nothing to a simple/new computer user.
Thanks in advance,

Fwd: Creating live USB keys in Windows
by Dimitris Glezos
Forwarding a msg from lmacken on fedora-devel-list. Luke has created a
tool to get an ISO on a Fedora Live usb stick... on Windows. It makes
it dead simple for Windows users to try (and switch to) Fedora this
way, since everybody nowadays has a RS USB stick, not everybody have
CD writers (X61 Thinkpads don't), or is willing to find/spend an empty
CD. Good stuff.
We should see how the msg could reach the world, non-Linux users.
Debian has created something "similar" at
http://goodbye-microsoft.com/, which is probably even simpler. Not
sure what other distros have done.
How about creating http://switch.fedoraproject.org/, which will have
some simple instructions on how to get the tool, get the ISO, run it
and reboot? Having the page localized as well, will probably make the
message reach to a big crowd.
Maybe it's too early for this, since everything is in flux, so let's
think about it.

Hi!
So, I wrote some code that will install a Fedora Live ISO onto a USB
stick, in Windows.
It automatically detects all removable drives, finds your ISO, extracts
it to your USB key, tweaks the syslinux.cfg, and installs the
bootloader.
>From a user perspective, using it is pretty simple:
- download fedora
- download and extract livecd-iso-to-usb.zip
- drag fedora iso into directory
- double click 'livecd-iso-to-usb.exe'
- ...profit!
It has worked great during all of my testing, and Jesse seemed to have
good luck with it today, but we definitely need more people to try it
out before we can start recommending it to users.
