Hi Ian,

Thanks for showing me that. I was expecting it to be in the same place
as the other iso's and hadn't looked in /os/images

Now the only problem is that fedora now won't recognise my inbuilt nic.

The mainboard I'm using is:

I don't know what kernel that iso uses. Debian stable installed and recognised the nic fine with the linux26 option.

regards,

Chris
