Mark, What you suggest is no longer possible. If you consult the instalation manuals of fc3 and fc4 you'll see it is written there (somewhere). I had the same problem and this is what I did: - downloaded a mini floppy distribuition called tomsrtbt, with all that is needed to format a filesystem and also containing wget - with wget I downloaded the install images (all files in directory isolinux of the first cdrom) - I created a GRUB floppy using gru-install and edited the grub.conf file to point to the install images - then I reboot the pc and grub booted, I choose to boot the install image and then I do a http or nfs install from anothet machine.. that's it. jmf Citando Mark Jordan <mark.theexile@xxxxxxxxx>: >I want to install fedora on a old pc that doesn't have >an option setting in the bios that allows the pc to >boot from a CD. > >How I can install Fedora without being able to boot >from the CD and preferably, not having to upgrade the >bios? Can you still get a disk image for a floppy and then do the install with FTP? I think that you used to be able to do this ( Webmonkey wrote an article on this back in 99 http://webmonkey.wired.com/webmonkey/99/08/index3a.html?tw=backend ) Mark -- theExile.vze.com www.stpaulswalsall.org.uk -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list __________________________________________________________ Email gratuito com 2 000 MB Espaço para guardar as memórias de uma vida http://www.portugalmail.pt/2000mb
