Old Release

This documentation covers an old version of Fedora. Looking for another version? See all documentation.

Installation

There are two primary ways of deploying Fedora 4. The first, One-Click Run, is an easy way to get Fedora 4 running to test out the basic features. The second, Servlet Container Install, is the approach to be used in production installations.
