Hi,
Mmm.. If I understand correctly, I am past the stage that you referred to me
in the guide - I already have a USB stick with Live CD - I think that's what
they suggest there? I actually want to install a fedora on part of the hard
disk. But I could maybe mount the full DVD .iso using the USB stick live
version, after mounting the Vista partition which contains that ISO, and run
the installation from the mounted .iso - that's what I was trying to look
for in google. I was hoping it is possible to do that, instead of having to
boot from the full DVD version for full installation (since I dont have a
DVD or a 4GB USB stick...)
Thanks for your answer.

Hello,
I thought I would try installing Fedora 9. Unfortunately, my laptop
has no optical drive.
I made a bootable USB stick, and like I said, I manage to boot from
it, but the fonts are corrupt.
Still, I can move to text mode (say ctrl-alt-f1) and use the Live
version quite well.
Since I have Vista, I thought I might have an easier way of installing
Fedora without having a DVD. I thought of downloading the ISO and then
looking for a boot loader or something of that sort that can "boot"
from an .iso file (on a windows partition.)
I know one can mount an .iso on linux to a directory, so I see no
reason why a boot loader could not do something like that as well.
Because it's a completely different situation. You're asking for the
boot loader to understand the Windows filesystem so it can find the iso
file.
However, I did not manage to find something to allow me to do that.
Looking on google leads to all kind of "hints" that it is possible to
somehow install fedora using the DVD .iso (on the Vista partition) or
from the Live CD on a USB stick (without being connected to the
internet), but nothing explicit. Anyone has experience with it? Also,
I hope Fedora 9 installation will make it easy to create a new
partition for it (or maybe I should first deal with using gparted to
prepare a partition properly)...
Have you read the Fedora Installation Guide? There's a section
specifically about installing from USB media:
