It could be explained better, but "askmethod" allows installation of a DVD image with only a (or even no) CD drive, as long as the DVD image is made available during the install. I keep mine on C: (sda1,/), but a USB key or hard drive would also work. (I have a DVD drive, and I boot the DVD, but one can just burn the RescueCD image that comes with the DVD, at least with the torrent). -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/> -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
