I want to install fedora on a raspberry pi 3B but I’d like to try an earlier/older version. where can I find these?
thankyou.
I can’t see any ARM releases (for pi3) at this link though
If you do a bit of searching you will find several versions for arm devices under
https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/
You only have to drill down a little and select the version number and spin to get the iso or the raw arm image for several releases then drill down further to the actual file to download.
I download the raw image and use the arm-image-installer to burn the image to the sd card and it works. There are some small quirks with fedora and the pi, but most have been ironed out.
It seems fedora mostly only has the aarch64 (64 bit) images for arm devices but the pi3 is 64 bit so that should not matter for you.
That is example of fedora 28 https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora-secondary/releases/28/Workstation/aarch64/images/Fedora-Workstation-28-1.1.aarch64.raw.xz or fedora 31 https://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora-secondary/releases/31/Workstation/aarch64/images/Fedora-Workstation-31-1.9.aarch64.raw.xz or fedora 32 https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/32/Workstation/aarch64/images/Fedora-Workstation-32-1.6.aarch64.raw.xz or supported fedora 35 https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/35/Workstation/aarch64/images/Fedora-Workstation-35-1.2.aarch64.raw.xz
thankyou I did some looking around at the links you gave but I could see nothing for arm prior to v35
I guess it depends on which mirror site you hit. On one I found many different releases and on another I found only release 35, so it may take some repeated searching to find what you are looking for.
https://mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/fedora/fedora/linux/releases/
https://mirrors.rit.edu/fedora/fedora/linux/releases/
https://mirrors.lug.mtu.edu/fedora/linux/releases/
These among many others have multiple release versions available.
I found those as 3 out of 5 clicks on the link I provided above.
