    I am trying to install FC3 on a Toshiba Portege 7020CT Laptop.
    It has a pcmcia cdrom and the boot disks don't boot off the cdrom.
    Is there a way to bootstrap the boot process to be able to install
    FC3? It doesn't support booting off the usb either.

    The minimal boot image is now 5Mb so floppy seems to be out.
    Some way to envoke a network install would be nice.
