installing on CDless laptop using grub and isolinux

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



  i asked about installing FC3 on a CD-less laptop on the fedora list
just a while ago, and i was given the following link:

http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~colohan/docs/fedora_upgrade.html

which looks like it will do just what i want.  (the laptop is, in
fact, running FC2 at the moment, so i appear to be good to go.)

  my only question is, that web page talks strictly about doing an
upgrade.  i would like to totally repartition the drive and use LVM,
which is not the way it's set up now.

  the question is, once i use grub to get the initial kernel and
initrd, and i select an NFS install, and i repartition and start the
install, is there no further use for all of the isolinux/ stuff i
copied onto the hard drive on the laptop?

  that is, am i safe in assuming that the install process is done with
all of the isolinux/ stuff so that the repartitioning won't hurt
anything?  that *seems* to be the case, but i'd rather know for sure.
thanks.
