Hi everyone
I am very new to all this. I have a dual boot machine with RH9 and WinXP. I am trying to install Fedora core 2. I have downloaded the 4 ISO but I can not get them to work. I don't have a DVD drive but I have a CD drive but when I burn them it fails to boot from the images. So I have been looking around and found that you should be able to boot the PC from USB pen drive. This boots into a SUSE boot screen and then it fails so I am now try to get fedora core 2 installed via FTP. I have the ISO sitting on an internal FTP server and need help to get the install kicked off.

Can anyone point me to some instructions on how to do an FTP install of FC2? I'd like to install to a laptop on the same LAN as the FTP server. Thanks. -Ben
Loop mount the ISO image files inside the FTP server tree, to be accessible when you contact the FTP server.
mount -t iso9660 -o loop FC2-i386-disc1.iso /path/to/ftp/pub_dir
Then start the network installation pointing to your FTP server. See
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/install-guide/s1-begininstall-ftp.html
Change the mounted ISO image file when the install process needs to access a different CD image.
