I am currently running Windows XP / Mandrake 9.1 on
a Dell Inspiron 5100. I was planning on upgrading to Mandrake
9.2 (mainly for ACPI) and decided to give Fedora a try. Well that's
the preample. But, here is the catch. I didn't pay for the external floppy
drive, or a CD writer. So, I've downloaded the ISO images, I have verified the
MD5SUM, I can even mount the images and view the files inside. But as far as I
can tell, without writing the images to a CD, it appears that I can't do
anything usefull with them. It seems like it should be possible to mount the
images during the install process, instead of the CD-ROM. Has anyone ever tried
that?
Thanks,
David Hunt
