Anybody reverse the process and generate an ISO image from one of these persistent LiveUSBs? I created one (great) added RPMs and content like I would a disk installed Linux, but found I couldn't backup and clone the resulting USB. I tried Acronis but the backup TIB failed to produce a bootable image after restoring to a USB with the same capacity.

@VeRTiTO- I'm glad that you are happy with your distro of choice. Fedora 9 is really a great release, I'm using it on my back-up computer/file-server right now and I never had a problem.

Thanks for the kind words and for dropping by. Mabuhay!

Hey Mr. Anonymous. Stop trying to get bleeding edged software to run on your old 486. It wont work, trust me.

I'm using openchrome driver too and it worked flawless. I've also did a preupgrade from F8 and it work without a glitch. So far i'm very satisfacted with F9.

F9 is a mess. Stay clear until it's sorted which may be at F10 or later I feel. Release is alpha at best. Graphical installer baulks on first boot with "openchrome" X driver. Have downloaded and burnt twice with same results... not believing what I got!! Far worse than F8 at release.

i'm running the LiveCd of Fedora9 with KDE4 and first impressions are great - even with a live cd, it is clealy faster than Ubuntu with Gnome on the same machine - fonts look great and browsing ( resizing fonts ) is very quick - no Java or Firefox on the livecd ( as far as i know ) but easy to install. A couple of apps have produced a crash when closing ( not running them ) I'll continue testing and will install to an 8GB flash drive soon. Remote desktop wotks great, as i could log into my MythTV server without problems..yet again it seems nimble and sharp

Latest is not always the best. Sometimes it seems like a workaround. But Fedora 9 defies this. Good work!

Hate it (so far).

I replaced my beloved FC6, and now I'm very sorry. Nothing friggin' works! Package updater/installer does nothing, just sits there. Can't get Samba or NFS up to save my life. I'm back to yum/yumex and the command line (not that there's anything wrong with that.....)

Sure, it may have enormous potential, and I sorta like Dolphin, but this is little more than alpha software. I HIGHLY recommend that you stay away from it, at least the KDE version, until it starts to work.

Btw, I am a HUGE Arch fan too. Have it on all my machines, except this poor one.

I consider Fedora 9 fantastic. :D I really love Arch, too, though; although, I have dial-up at home and my laptops screen had broke a few months ago, so I can not take it to school to download files for Arch, sadly...

With everything I've heard and looked at about Fedora 9, I'm hoping it's as nice as I expect it to be when I get my hands on it. I just have to find where I lost my usb drive... (which, ironically, I lost -yesterday- and was pissed off by it.)

2008-05-14T15:27:00.000+08:00

Personally, I still prefer Arch Linux :D

I have Gnome 2.22, ok I don't have KDE 4, but I wouldn't use it anyway (and if I wanted to, it's just a compile away).

I also had bad experiences with package management in Fedora 8. The fact that Pirut has been replaced is a good thing, imho. Pirut was a very slow application.

Firefox 3, great. GCJ java, not so great. I prefer Sun's Java every time, as it's faster.

OpenOffice 2.4 - already have.

I also wonder about font rendering in Fedora. I use Ubuntu's patches in Arch, and the fonts look great to me.
