So this is my only choice. It's fairly easy to update from the hard disk, as has been suggested. Download the ISO images to say /archive . Then run "mount -o loop /archive/FC2-i386-disc1.iso /mnt/cdrom" Then create a directory /boot/fedora, and "cd /mnt/cdrom; cp -a isolinux/* /boot/fedora/". Then add a stanza to /etc/grub.conf like this ============================================== title Fedora Core Boot root (hd0,1) kernel /fedora/vmlinuz initrd /fedora/initrd.img ============================================== [Nb I have a separate /boot partition.] Now when you reboot you should be offered this as an option, and that will take you into the installation. I have to do this on my Sony Picturebook (C1VFK) because the Fedora installation does not have a driver for the Sony CD-reader. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
