Hi David,
You do not need a CD Writer or a floppy drive to
install Fedora from the ISO images.
Here's how to install directory from your XP
partition.
1. Copy the images to a directory under root (say
C:\images).
2. Copy dosutils directory from the first
ISO image into your root (C:\dosutils). You can use some utility like
WinRAR to extract just this directory from the ISO or download the whole
directory from the Fedora FTP site.
3. Restart your machine and boot into
DOS.
4. Change directory to C:\dosutils and type
autoboot.
5. When the
installer asked for type of installation, select Harddrive and just point
to your images directory as /images.
If you'd prefer to mount the images & install
from inside your existing Mandrake setup, guess the other replies to your post
have already covered it.
HTH,
Prakash
