Hi Donald Newcomb,

1)The easy way is to take out the dvd from the windows machine and
connect it to linux machine ,make the update.
2)Copy up the fedora iso into the linux machine partision and then
boot from fedora rescue cd ....
type over there boot:linux askmethod
select language
select type of installation (choose form hard disk ---point to the
iso)

Try this.
Regards
Melbin Mathew

After several unsucsessful attempts to get the boot CD to find the Fedora
ISO file on the hard drive I gave up and went with solution #1. After moving
the ISO file around to a number of spots, including /tmp/hdimage/, always
with negative results I realized that I was approaching object fixation and
gave up. In less time than it took to power down and reboot the two PCs I
had a DVD drive out of A and into B. Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
