Michael, Your responses have me more and more confused as to exactly what you are trying to do: >My machine can still boot from my FC13 installation disk. >I copied FC13's vmlinuz to a hard drive and >tried again with the grub command line. >I have F14 installed, but F13 is the most recent DVD I can find. why are you booting from F13 installation disk if you have F14 installed? why do you need to find the F14 DVD? Does this mean: --you do not have F13 installed? --your F14 install is somehow broken? What version of installed-fedora are you operating from? What version of fedora is the iso you are extracting from? Is either F15,F16 involved? the hdinstall, as per Horsley, and as per fedoraproject: is meant to operate from an already existing fedora system, which you don't seem to have. >Chapter 12.
