Hi,
I have the FC4 DVD iso on my FC2 box. I don't have a DVD drive on that box. I can mount it as an iso9660 fs, but I can't figure out how to upgrade my FC2 system via that method. I bought an external USB DVD drive, but the system wouldn't boot to that drive. Yes, I can burn a DVD from my XP box. (I didn't play around with the BIOS...)

Burn your DVD, then go fetch Smart Boot Manager (SBM)
(http://btmgr.webframe.org/), stick it on a floppy and boot the floppy.
It'll let you boot from darn near any device you have, whether your BIOS
understands it or not.

SBM, IMHO, is a damned useful tool.
