And while you have the F16 running you can bring up the connection just as you would in F16. Then you can download the Live F16 into the hard drive. Along the way you get a chance to partition the disk just as you would from the install DVD. I just installed F16 this way without any problems. -- ======================================================================= We have DIFFERENT amounts of HAIR -- ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
