Sound quite complicated; In such a case I would do the following to get the install started (warning, untested for some time, but should work iirc) - create a partition (name it hda1 in this example) that you want to use for linux later and format it with fat/fat32 (note: you can also use a random fat-partition and skip format) - copy initrd.img vmlinuz to it - on a random linux-system create a grub boot-floppy with cat /usr/share/grub/i386-redhat/stage? > /dev/fd0 (can this be done in windows/dos somehow?) - start from this floppy-disk - at the grub-prompt type: root (hd0,0) kernel vmlinuz initrd initrd.img boot - install fedora (you can reformat or delete hda1 now if you wish) Or did i missing anything important here? -- Thorsten Leemhuis <fedora@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
