Why not just copy disk1 into a directory inside the ftp root. The copy the remaining rpms from disks 2-4 inside the rpms directory. Start the network install, pointing it at that directory.

It is the fastest way to install. -Marcus ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ben Levin" <levbe_zinew@xxxxxxxxx> To: "For users of Fedora Core releases" <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, May 22, 2004 1:31 PM Subject: Re: FC2 FTP install > Will that work in FC2?
