a question about fedora core downloads

[Janina Sajka]

This question is answered in the Installation HOWTO. Briefly, you cannot
mix versions.

OK. I guess I can make the HOWTO even more precise. You may not mix
either editions of the Speakup Modified, nor may you mix Speakup
Modified iso images with iso images from stock Fedora releases.

The reason is simple. The packages contained in the iso images are not
in the same place, and many are upgraded. There has been almost one
gigabyte of updated files since the release of Fedora Core 3 in
November, for example. Stock Fedora does not include those updates, but
the Speakup Modified does include them.

I'm sorry you're seeing bad download times. This is a known problem, and
we are working on it. However, don't expect a fix in days. It will take
weeks at best.
