   title Fedora Install # main selection
   
   
   root (hd0,4) # change "4" to the partition holding ISO images normaly
   c:\ = 0 , D:\ = 4 , E:\ = 5 and so o­n " in some cases you have to try numbers from 0 to 9 "
   
   
   kernel /fc3/img/vmlinuz ramdisk_size=128000 root=/dev/ram3 acpi=ht vga=788 # the path to vmlinuz "the kernel Binary" don't use drive letters .
   automatic=method:disk
