New things... 1) There is now an images/diskboot.img file in the tree. This can be written to a USB pen drive with dd and booted if your BIOS supports booting off of USB devices. 2) SELinux is disabled by default. Boot with 'selinux' to enable 3) CD ejecting bit can go if it's still there (I didn't see it) since they should eject now
Jeremy -- thanks for the info. About #1 -- is this arch-specific in any way?
The image exists in both i386 and x86-64 directories, and I have noticed my Opteron motherboard supports USB booting. So hardware support depends entirely on the motherboard BIOS support.
It's for both i386 and x86_64, so not arch specific in the context of Fedora
Here's what I have -- sound ok? For systems capable of booting from a USB device, Fedora Core 1.91 Test 2 includes an image file designed for use with USB pen drives (or other bootable media with a capacity larger than a diskette drive). The file is diskboot.img, and is present in the images/ directory on CD-ROM 1. Use the dd command to write the image. Note The ability to use this image file with a USB pen drive depends on the ability of your system's BIOS to boot from a USB device. BTW, being the picky docs person I am, I checked the README in images/ to make sure it mentioned this file, but you beat me to it... :-)
Yep, sounds good. Thanks Ed.
Super -- thanks for the feedback!
