I don't know about a simple way to start a network installation of Fedora from USB stick. Creating of boot.img, that server that purpose, was stopped by rel-engs some releases ago. I have found a blog post [1] that makes possible to transform a boot.iso image into a bootable USB stick. But it still requires to download the 200+ MB large boot.iso file and do it by hand, while in theory only initrd.img and vmlinuz files should be needed and the whole process could be automated. So I have created mkbootimg.sh script [2] that automates all required steps and has a bootable disk image as a result. It can be transferred to real USB disk by the dd command. I find it useful when testing rawhide installations, but can be used for releases too. There is naturally no warranty for the script, it can eat whole your system :-) Dan [1] http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/4573.html [2] http://fedora.danny.cz/misc/mkbootimg.sh
See the makebootfat package -- it has in the doc the description of the similar procedure...
(AFAIK Anaconda had started to use makebootfat as well). Regards, Dmitry Butskoy -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
