My wife has agreed to go Fedora and so I want to get her machine up and running. She has a CDROM that won't boot. On the FC3 install disk there is a bootdisk.img file but it is not designed to be used on a floppy but something larger. I have nothing larger. My machine doesn't have a burner. I've also run across a command that you are supposed to be able to use after a boot from a dos disk that is "loadlin autoboot\vmlinuz initrd=autoboot\initrd.img but I don't see loadlin on the CD and nothing called autoboot either, however, there is an initrd.img file. Also, the place I found that said there would be a "dosutils" directory on the CD and there isn't. Thanks for your help.

In all fairness the link was posted by Jim Lawrence :)
On a side note, when someone subscribes to the list, they should be recommended to take a look at sites like fedorafaq.org and fedoranews.org.
The rest of this topic has been covered many times. There are several solutions explained (i.e. http://btmgr.sourceforge.net/about.html). So please have a look at the archive:
