Copy the images directory to disk cp -r images /some/data/partition Both the images directory and the Fedora iso must be on a partition that won't be formatted during installation. Cut and paste any Fedora stanza from grub.conf and edit that to point to the F12 vmlinuz and initrd and add "askmethod" on the kernel line: title Fedora (2.6.31.6-166.fc12.x86_64) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-F12 ro root=UUID=343fedb3 d301-4615-99b3-a0dec40fa632 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rhgb quiet linux askmethod initrd /initrd-F12.img Save and write grub to disk: /sbin/grub-install /dev/sda Boot. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
