Agreed, I do this (or something akin) often on servers for testing where I don't want to be bothered making media, or physically visiting them. I will see what I can do. Doesn't seem to have been done for Fedora 7 guide. I've added this information for the F8 guide. |
Description of problem: There is more advanced method to install Fedora without having to burn disks. Perhaps this can be documented better in the installation guide. Additional info: mkdir /mnt/fedora mount -t iso9660 FC-6-i386-DVD.iso /mnt/fedora -o loop cp -av /mnt/fedora/isolinux /boot/ umount /mnt/fedora edit /etc/grub.conf title Fedora Installation root (hd0,4) kernel /isolinux/vmlinuz initrd /isolinux/initrd.img Reboot Select language Choose hard disk installation Select path to ISO image. No slashes in front or end of the path. Watch magic happen!
