Hi Guys

The fedora mirror at TENET(mirror.ac.za)is no longer active.Do you know of another local download of Fedora

Thanks
DD
 
once a DVD link for a distro (especially one like fedora) is older than 2 weeks, i find it is useless to download the DVD. The DVD basically tries to cover as many of the popular packages for the distro. but with a distro like fedora, if you use the DVD that is older than 2 weeks, the very first update you do of the system will update a majority of the packages i have found. negating the usefulness of the DVD as you are essentially downloading the packages afresh.
