Where can I find documentation on installing Fedora Core 3 using a
network install instead of the cd? Any help would be appreciated?
The redhat documentation would probably cover this: http://www.redhat.com/docs (look at the docs for Red Hat Enterprise linux, as it is based on Fedora Core)
but setting up a network installserver and using it is really easy...
do the following:
decide how you wish to install (http, ftp or nfs)
copy the 'Fedora' directory from all of your CDs to a directory on your
install server (I use /var/ftp/pub) - making sure that you copy the Fedora
directory as well as its contents.
share the directory *containing* the 'Fedora' directory by you chosen
method (in my case /var/ftp/pub is shared both by NFS and ftp)
boot from CD1 and type
linux askmethod
choose the correct installation method when prompted
...and Bob's your uncle (as my parents used to say)
pub/
and over NFS
/var/ftp/pub
