Kadischi
- ChitleshGoorah created a livecd based on the Fedora Core 5 Test 3 which was available for download at ftp://ftp.dead.li/ Thanks to JonFautley.
About the Live CD The liveCD was gnome-based only. Language & Keyboard settings : french (fr) ISO size: 694.2 MB License: same as Fedora Core 5 Test 3 username = root password = fedora
why french? because he had already an iso for a French project and to promote FC5 as well.
