I was Have problems Installing Fedora from hard i want to do that Because I don't have any CD-ROM & I borrowed one from a frind But Many Distros can't read from it .



all U want to start installing the fedora core 3 distro from Your hard disk :



  1. FAT formated Floppy .

  2. Fedora Core 3 " FC3 " ISO Images .

  3. Prepartitioned HDD with the next Specs .
    |--- 8 - 10 GB drive for root file system .
    |--- 512 - 1024 MB drive for sawp space .

  4. hd_grub.img boot disk img // get it from here . http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/mandrakelinux/official/10.1/i586/install/images/hd_grub.img

  5. rawritewin.exe // get it from here . http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/mandrakelinux/official/10.1/i586/dosutils/rawwritewin.exe

  6. use "rawritewin.exe" to make the boot disk from "hd_grub.img" .

  7. put the "FC3" ISO Images in folder like this d:\fc3 or e:\fc3 don't put them on the drive you just made to install on it.

  8. get the kernel "vmlinuz" & the ramdisk "initrd.img" from the first iso image normaly they are in "isolinux/vmlinuz" and "isolinux/initrd.img" and put them on folder like fc3/img .

  9. Edit menu.lst on the boot floppy that You have made to be like this :

    timeout 100 # time befor auto boot
    default 0 # defualt selection
    fallback 1 # i don't know

    title Fedora Install # main selection
    root (hd0,4) # change "4" to the partition holding ISO images normaly
    c:\ = 0 , D:\ = 4 , E:\ = 5 and so on " in some cases you have to try numbers from 0 to 9 "
    kernel /fc3/img/vmlinuz ramdisk_size=128000 root=/dev/ram3 acpi=ht vga=788 # the path to vmlinuz "the kernel Binary" don't use drive letters .
    automatic=method:disk
    initrd /fc3/img/initrd.img # the path to the initrd.img

  10. Reboot and boot from the Disk and when the installer ask you about the installation Method choose "Hard Drive" and choose the drive that holds the ISO images & enter the name of the folder in the blue text box.

Wiki not forum

The forum is for asking for technical help. What I see here is that you faced a problem and managed to solve it so you decided to share it. The forum is just not the appropiate place to put it, it should go into the Wiki so that others could edit and refine it if they will.

Another thing is that you provided contact information for those who might want to ask you. Ofcourse you are entitled to do that but it would be better if anybody who faced similiar problems would ask for your/others help in public and not privately through email so that other people later on would benefit from the open discussions.

You can always make your contact information accessible in your user profile if anybody wanted to contact you privately for personal reasons.

Thanks very much for your input anyway, it's most appreciated.
