The message I keep getting is the CD is not being found. Does anyone have a file I could use to get booted into Fedora Core 2.

    Are you planning on upgrading to FC3 at the end of the month? I ask
    this as FC4 will be out on June 06 if the dates stay the same.

    I know that someone built a floopy install procedure that was used on
    some old computers around work for FC3. Rest of the install was done
    over a network or from CD.
