All: I'm trying to install FC2 on an older system that does not support booting from the CD-ROM (there is a CD-ROM that works for reads but not booting). In the past, I've been able to create a floppy boot disk to start the install process and then continue from the CD-ROM drive to finish the install of other Linux versions. Apparently the floppy is not an option for FC2 according to what I've read due to kernel size. I read that there was a way to use a floppy to run grub to boot the system and then somehow access the CD-ROM to run the installation routine. I've got the system to boot up from a floppy with grub and leave me at the grub prompt on the system. I've tried copying the vmlinuz file from the CD-ROM to the hard drive and run that from the grub prompt but the end result is the system stops at a kernel panic. The install CD-ROM has a file called diskboot.img that the readme information indicates can be used to boot the system from a USB pen drive. Can I use that somehow from the hard drive to do the boot and install process or is there some other way? Thanks in advance, Fred Clearwater
