Fedora Core v4 Test 3 released

| | Comments (0)

Today the final test release (test 3) of Fedora Core v4 was released.

I used this trick to convert my FC4test2 isos into FC4test3. This way I'm not downloading the bits that haven't changed.

cd /path/to/your/FC4test2/isos
mv FC4-test2-i386-disc1.iso FC4-test3-i386-disc1.iso
mv FC4-test2-i386-disc2.iso FC4-test3-i386-disc2.iso
mv FC4-test2-i386-disc3.iso FC4-test3-i386-disc3.iso
mv FC4-test2-i386-disc4.iso FC4-test3-i386-disc4.iso

rsync -v --stats --progress rsync://name.of.mirror/fedora/linux/core/test/3.92/i386/iso/FC4-test3-i386-disc[1234].iso .

Watching the data transfer speed, I notice that pretty often it jumps up
much higher than the cap of my internet connection. This tells me that
that my trick was worthwhile.

Be sure to grab the SHA1SUM file and check your ISOs once the rsync
completes.
