install CDs for Fedora Core 8
Where can one find install CDs (the whole set 1-6 or whatever)
for Fedora Core 8?
All I see are the install DVD (doesn't benefit me, doesn't like my
DVD drives: USB or ATAPI) and the Live and Rescue CD (also
tried and it located my DVD drive but could not boot from it).
I need the whole set of CDs only: nothing else will work.
And yes, I tried pointing it the installer to a web site with the
distro but it just kept going back and forth between that screen
and the 'CD check' screen ad infinitum.

Hey if you have the dvd.iso in a partition which will still exist
after install you can pull vmlinuz and initrd.img from the dvd and
boot the dvd.iso from the partition.
I loop mounted fc8 dvd.iso copied them out into my sub-directory
/local/spare, modified grub menu with
title fedora_iso
kernel (hd0,13)/spare/vmlinuz BOOT_IMAGE=fedora_iso ro vga=791
initrd (hd0,13)/spare/initrd.img
and was able to install without dvd/cd

try http://fedoraunity.org
and note that Fedora isn't called "Core" any longer.
