Hi, I need to do some maintenance on my Fedora 42 installation today so I went to download an ISO to format a bootable drive. However, I cannot find anywhere to download the Fedora 42 ISO. With the release of Fedora 43, any mention of Fedora 42 seems to have vanished entirely from Fedora Workstation | The Fedora Project. Where are the download links for older versions? I would prefer to use an ISO that matches the actual operating system installed on my machine, and Fedora 43 was just released one day ago in any case.
Exactly what I was looking for, thanks. Is that linked anywhere on the website? I swear I looked all over.
I took a link from an iso: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/42_RC-1.1/Workstation/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Workstation-Live-42-1.1.x86_64.iso
Went to the base URL and chose a random old release and only saw a readme: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/17/README
That gave the archives URL! I didn’t know older images were at a different place prior to that 
Ah. For whatever reason it didn’t occur to me that the download server would have directory indexing enabled so that I could navigate to sibling files. Still not an ideal UX, but certainly usable enough. Thanks!
Not a solution. Does not handle mirrors, downloads at 1kbps.
The new website lacks features, same as anaconda, we are removing features from the new user experience and limiting what the new user has available to them, without documenting the less common use-cases, functionality for which was removed.
There’s probably an argument to be made for having the n-1 release visible on the main website given that it’s still supported (a bit like beta, and probably with a note about the fact that it’s an older release?), but for a more general solution you can browse https://mirrormanager.fedoraproject.org/ to find a mirror that hosts the version you’re looking for, and then browse to /linux/releases/<release>/<edition>/x86_64/iso/ to get the ISO you want.
