FC3T1 probably should be more appropriately named FC2-SP1. But as long
as there are improvements, names don't really matter. (As we all know,
FC2 made so many major changes from FC1, and did not go through a
commensurately long testing period, resulting in a half-baked system.
FC3T1 couldn't have come soon enough.)
I know it is very cumbersome to have to d/l the three images then burn
them into CDs before installation. But if Vince gets time to supplement
our local mirror, all you need to do is copy two moderately sized files,
vmlinuz and initrd.img, into your boot directory, then modify your
grub.conf so you can do ftp install (or harddisk install if you d/l the
iso's). The whole process should take no more than one hour.
(Since this is a test OS, you probably won't want to overwrite your MBR;
thus, you should specify so during installation and, after installation,
you also need to go to console mode, Crl/Alt/F3, to edit your grub.conf
so you can reboot from this new installation.)
