RE: Installing without a CD drive

Hi Jeff,

I don't think from Fedora Core 4 there is an option to install from
diskettes. Do you have an USB stick or another machine running you can use
to boot from on your network?

Cheers,
JM

I must be feeling a bit dumb today. Which of those is the "floppy boot
disk image"?

diskboot.image
I saw some documentation somewhere that said it was a FAT file system.

Please explain how an 8mb file can fit on a 1.44mb floppy?
