| 319933 | 2005-02-02 03:08:00 | Have you got an IMAGES directory? (If not, fedora.redhat.com might be the place to go.) The 6MB file diskboot.img is intended to be dded to a USB pendrive. If your BIOS allows booting from a USB device, that will be the way to go. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 319934 | 2005-02-02 04:15:00 | But Jen, it's the details. It's all very well being able to boot Knoppix and [/b]mount[/b] the .iso file. But let's see you then [/b[boot it[/b].Yeah I know, lets just put my bright piece of advice in the same category of me also suggesting to use a Live-CD when it was clearly stated the machine had no CD/DVD device :blush: :rolleyes: The article mentioned a floppy boot installation in passing, and said the details were given in the .PDF file on the DVD. I'm guessing that this is a Fedora installation guide on the DVD. There probably such a file in the .iso file.The PC Authority might of customised their DVD iso to include this, but the stock standard DVD I have doesn't have any PDF files in any of the directories - just the usual plain text readme's and a html version of it. Contents of /images/README on the DVD: This directory contains image files that can be used to create media capable of starting the Fedora Core installation process. The boot.iso file is an ISO 9660 image of a bootable CD-ROM. It is useful in cases where the CD-ROM installation method is not desired, but the CD-ROM's boot speed would be an advantage. To use this image file, burn the file onto CD-R (or CD-RW) media as you normally would. The diskboot.img file is a VFAT filesystem image that can be written to a USB pendrive or other bootable media larger than a floppy. Note that booting via USB is dependent on your BIOS supporting this. It should be written to the device using dd. |
