out the earlier Windows Operating Systems - Win XP installed on it.
Possible?
"Anything is possible, if you push the gas pedal hard enough" :-)
How?
I suppose there are multiple ways to do this, but I would consider downloading
the Fedora Live (or Fedora KDE Live) iso image which fits on a good old 700MB
cd. Use the pen drive to transfer it to any computer which can burn cds (I
can't find one that still cannot do this...). Burn the image, then take it to
your computer and install.
Or you might install from the pen drive itself, but that is more complicated.
Step- By -Step please.
This is just an outline of the step-by-step instructions. I assume you are
capable of handling the details.
1) download Fedora 9 Live iso image
2) copy the .iso file to the pen drive
3) go to the nearest shop and buy an empty cd (or rather two, for safety)
4) go to the nearest internet caffe and burn the image from the pen drive to
the cd.
5) there is a catch in step 4, don't burn the .iso file to the cd, but rather
burn *its content* to the cd. Use the second cd if you already did this
wrong, have the local admin help you if you don't know what you are doing
6) take the cd to your computer and boot it using the cd. When the install
starts, be sure to perform the "check media" step before continuing.
7) Educate yourself about Fedora, Linux, computers in general. It will prove
useful later in life.
Or read the real, honest installation guide at
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f9/en_US/
That should answer all questions.
