    Nope. It isn't covered there.

    DIRECTORY ORGANIZATION

    Fedora Core is delivered on multiple CD-ROMs consisting of installation
    CD-ROMs and source code CD-ROMs.

    The first installation CD-ROM can be directly booted into the
    installation on most modern systems, and contains the following
    directory structure (where /mnt/cdrom is the mount point of the
    CD-ROM):

    /mnt/cdrom
      |----> Fedora
      | |----> RPMS -- binary packages
      | `----> base -- information on this release of Fedora
      | Core used by the installation process
      |----> images -- boot and driver disk images
      |----> isolinux -- files necessary to boot from CD-ROM
      |----> README -- this file
      |----> RELEASE-NOTES -- the latest information about this
    release
      | of Fedora Core
      `----> RPM-GPG-KEY -- GPG signature for packages from Red
    Hat

    The remaining Installation CD-ROMs are similar to Installation CD-ROM
    1, except that only the Fedora subdirectory is present.

    The directory layout of each source code CD-ROM is as follows:

    /mnt/cdrom
      |----> SRPMS -- source packages
      `----> RPM-GPG-KEY -- GPG signature for packages from Red
    Hat

    If you are setting up an installation tree for NFS, FTP, or HTTP
    installations, you need to copy the RELEASE-NOTES files and all files
    from the Fedora directory on discs 1-3. On Linux and Unix systems, the
    following process will properly configure the /target/directory on your
    server (repeat for each disc):

       1.

          Insert disc
       2.

          mount /mnt/cdrom
       3.

          cp -a /mnt/cdrom/Fedora /target/directory
       4.

          cp /mnt/cdrom/RELEASE-NOTES* /target/directory (Do this only for
    disc 1)
       5.

          umount /mnt/cdrom

    INSTALLING

    Many computers can now automatically boot from CD-ROMs. If you have
    such a machine (and it is properly configured) you can boot the Fedora
    Core CD-ROM directly. After booting, the Fedora Core installation
    program will start, and you will be able to install your system from
    the CD-ROM.

    The images/ directory contains the file boot.iso. This file is an ISO
    image that can be used to boot the Fedora Core installation program. It
    is a handy way to start network-based installations without having to
    use multiple diskettes. To use boot.iso, your computer must be able to
    boot from its CD-ROM drive, and its BIOS settings must be configured to
    do so. You must then burn boot.iso onto a recordable/rewriteable
    CD-ROM.

    Another image file contained in the images/ directory is diskboot.img.
    This file is designed for use with USB pen drives (or other bootable
    media with a capacity larger than a diskette drive). Use the dd command
    to write the image.
    Note

    The ability to use this image file with a USB pen drive depends on the
    ability of your system's BIOS to boot from a USB device.
