    in fact i want to setup a hard disk say hdc which i just put into a computer
    and boot the computer from that hard disk and start the linux installation,
    the newly installed system will reside on the hard disk say hda of that
    computer. very same way like i put the first installation cd in any
    computer, boot that computer from this cd and start the installation, and
    the newly installed system then resides on the hard disk of that omputer.
    mean i dont want a full linux system installed on that hdc instead i want
    that hdc to be bootable like FC3 first installation cd and then to start
    installation from that hdc.
