Greetings Bob, Starting with Fedora 10, the boot.iso contains both stage#1 and stage#2 (aka install.img) needed by the installer. The only missing pieces are the packages. You will be prompted later for the correctly repository access methods during installation. If you want a physical media solution that doesn't require extra steps, you are probably looking for a DVD installation. The Fedora 11 installation guide (http://rlandmann.fedorapeople.org/Installation% 20Guide/en-US/html/sn-which-files.html) attempts to outline the differences between the bootable installer files. Thanks, James
