Re: f12 rescue cd

The way I move to a new Fedora release is to install it on a different hard drive than the one I am using for "normal business". That way making mistakes is okay -- I make a lot of mistakes -- and I can reinstall as desired.

I migrate data manually.

the f12 dvd contains a rescue cd image? i don't find it in ./images
Pass the "rescue" boot option to the DVD or netinst installer.
   How do you do that? I can write CDs, but I can't write DVDs, does
that still apply to me?
Use the above with whatever media you used to boot from for an
installation/upgrade.
   I see. I thought netinst was a command on a normal system.

   The question "Where's the rescue CD?" is asked every time a new
version is released. Why is it not easier to find?
That should be on an installer boot menu which showed up on your
screen.  Really not there?  Hm, I have no idea how this looks for
LiveCD but that is a "rescue" environment on its own.
   Some years ago, I just burned a rescue CD and used it to upgrade.
Now I am using preupgrade. Yesterday, preupgrade made my computer
unusable. Now I want to try to preupgrade another computer, but I want
have a rescue CD first. Rescue CDs as I know them have options such as
a network upgrade or go into shell when you boot from them. I don't
see that on the live CD. I suppose at least you can boot from the live
CD and mount the local drive, though, right?

      Take care
