At long last, I have a "working" Fedora 8 DVD. The winning formula - k3b -
turns out you can run kde applications under gnome.
As I type, the Fedora installer is checking the disk - but given it boots
and gives me a few screens - I'm assuming this will come through ok.
I've downloaded quite a few Fedora images recently (one good thing about ntl
is unlimited downloads) but immediately k3b told me one of them wasn't
correct - something neither sha1sum nor Nero (in XP) had done. However
this does rather beg another question - watch out for another thread on
this.
Thanks to all k3b protagonists for their suggestion.
Cheers
Rob
