I wonder if kernel-boot would be small enough to boot up from? I'm sure
the RULE installer has a way around the size problem, maybe RULE has
become suddenly become the only choice for installing with many computers.

hi everyone: fedora-list-request
In our Univ,many people choose to install Fedora Core from harddisk,and
need dosutils directory for boot installion. i'm puzzled with the
disappearness of dosutils in the series after FC1.
would anyone like to give some explaination?
FC2 and FC3 are based on the 2.6 kernel, which will not conveniently fit on a
floppy disk. So installation from floppy disk is no longer supported. Since
the purpose of the dosutils utilities was to write the installer floppy disk
images, there is no longer any point including them.
The best way to install FC2 or FC3 will depend on the hardware you have, what
is already installed on the computer (if anything), and what devices the
computer can boot from.
