    Make sure you have all 4 isos exported. I only have the first 3 because
    that's all I ever need. The installer checks for all 4 whether you need
    them or not. (bug?) To get around this, you can mount the isos and copy
    the files to your exported directory.

    If you don't have a cdrom drive, and you're doing an upgrade, it's
    possible to mount the install image, copy the files to somewhere in
    /boot, add it to grub.conf as "Fedora Core 2 Installer", reboot, choose
    the new option. The install will start from the hard drive.
