Hi,

The Fedora Core 5 which was provided on May 2006 DVD has an invalid .ISO 
file i,e FC5i386disc2.iso which prevents from sucessful installation.

The .ISO problem can be fixed by downloading 2 piece files of size 448KB 
only.

You can follow the below steps to fix the ISO file

STEP 1:
Download Utorrent 1.5
http://www.utorrent.com/download/1.5/utorrent.exe
Install the client after downloading.

STEP 2:
Create a folder by name bordeaux-binary-i386 on your hard disk.The 
partition should have atleast 3.5GB free hard disk space

STEP 3:
Copy all the Fedora Core 5 .ISO files to the folder bordeaux-binary-i386
The files are:
FC5i386disc1.iso
FC5i386disc2.iso
FC5i386disc3.iso
FC5i386disc4.iso
FC5i386disc5.iso
FC5i386rescuecd.iso

STEP 4:
Rename the .iso files in the folder bordeaux-binary-i386 as said below.
Rename FC5i386disc1.iso to FC-5-i386-disc1.iso
Rename FC5i386disc2.iso to FC-5-i386-disc2.iso
Rename FC5i386disc3.iso to FC-5-i386-disc3.iso
Rename FC5i386disc4.iso to FC-5-i386-disc4.iso
Rename FC5i386disc5.iso to FC-5-i386-disc5.iso
Rename FC5i386rescuecd.iso to FC-5-i386-rescuecd.iso

STEP 4:
Download the torrent file from below URL.
http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents/bordeaux-binary-i386.torrent

Open bordeaux-binary-i386.torrent with Utorrent.Refer STEP 1.

Than Utorrent will ask you the location to save the files.

Now locate the location for the folder bordeaux-binary-i386 on your hard 
disk as said in the below example.

For Example:
If the folder location of bordeaux-binary-i386 is
c:\linux FC5\bordeaux-binary-i386 then enter c:\linux FC5 in the Save As 
filed of Utorrent.

Utorrent hash checks the files automatically and downloads the missing 
files.There are only 2 missing files i,e of total size 448KB.

After the 448KB pice files are downloaded then you will have a complete 
Valid Fedora Core 5 CD2 ISO file.
Regards,
Sans.
